Potted Umbrella Fig ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Potted Umbrella Fig is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Growth Formula Delta Concentrate ×4 and Quicksilver ×4 — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 61 units, plus 10 crystals.

That bill outweighs 13,148 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,560 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 2 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 8 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 5 Water Cluster, 4 Water Shard and 1 Lightning Cluster.

Every step is Alchemist work, from a Lv 1 intermediate up to the Lv 50 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

5 of the 7 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Trillium Bulb (21:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Quicksilver has the widest use: 22 recipes call for it, spanning two of the eight crafting classes.
