Riviera Open-shelf Bookcase ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Riviera Open-shelf Bookcase is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Darksteel Nugget ×7, Rosewood Lumber ×7 and Darksteel Rivets ×3 — which resolve to 2 distinct raw materials totalling 42 units, plus 77 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,044 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,260 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 72 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 42 Wind Shard, 30 Fire Crystal, 3 Wind Crystal and 1 other kind.

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

Both raw materials are gathered, and one of them is time-gated: Darksteel Ore (1:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Riviera Open-shelf Bookcase is itself consumed by 1 further recipe, all of them Alchemist recipes.
