Tonberry Chandelier ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Tonberry Chandelier is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Darksteel Nugget ×4, Electrum Ingot ×3, Clear Glass Lens ×2 and 1 other — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 36 units, plus 50 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,383 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,369 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 13 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 37 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 15 Wind Shard, 12 Fire Crystal, 10 Water Shard and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 50, Goldsmith to Lv 42 and Alchemist to Lv 28 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 7 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Darksteel Ore (1:00). 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.
