Looming Tonberry Screen ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Looming Tonberry Screen is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Spruce Lumber ×6, Electrum Ingot ×4 and Rosewood Lumber ×4 — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 46 units, plus 67 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,540 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,328 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 62 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 44 Wind Shard, 21 Wind Crystal and 2 Ice Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 50 and Goldsmith to Lv 42 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 3 raw materials are gathered, and one of them is time-gated: Spruce Log (9:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Electrum Ingot has the widest use: 234 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
