Carbuncle Garden Table ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Carbuncle Garden Table is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Mahogany Lumber ×5, Spruce Lumber ×5, Darksteel Nugget ×4 and 1 other — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 44 units, plus 58 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,337 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,302 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 55 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 25 Wind Shard, 15 Wind Crystal, 12 Fire Crystal and 3 other kinds.

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

4 of the 5 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Darksteel Ore (1:00), Raw Ruby (18:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 9 Eorzean hours, about 26 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Darksteel Nugget has the widest use: 121 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
