Carbuncle Wardrobe ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Carbuncle Wardrobe is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Mahogany Lumber ×4, Raptor Leather ×4, Spruce Lumber ×4 and 1 other — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 36 units, plus 61 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,383 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,184 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 58 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 20 Earth Shard, 20 Wind Shard, 12 Wind Crystal and 3 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 50, Goldsmith to Lv 50 and Leatherworker to Lv 41 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 6 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Raw Ruby (18:00) and Spruce Log (9:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 15 Eorzean hours, about 44 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Mahogany Lumber has the widest use: 102 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
