Magic Broom ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Magic Broom is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Ancient Lumber ×1 — which resolves to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 5 units, plus 102 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,201 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 464 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 99 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 3 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 99 Wind Shard, 2 Wind Cluster and 1 Ice Cluster.

Every step is Carpenter work, from a Lv 50 intermediate up to the Lv 50 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

2 of the 5 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Scarlet Sap (3:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Ancient Lumber has the widest use: 52 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
