Country Flooring

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Country Flooring is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Cut Stone ×4, Mortar ×4 and Distilled Water ×4 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 34 units, plus 32 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,052 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,407 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 12 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 20 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 14 Water Shard, 12 Wind Shard and 6 Lightning Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Alchemist to Lv 50 and Goldsmith to Lv 30 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 5 raw materials are gathered, and not one of their spots is timed, so nothing in the tree waits on the Eorzean clock.

Of the intermediates, Mortar has the widest use: 140 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
