Incensory ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Incensory is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Clove Oil ×8, Lavender Oil ×8, Gold Ingot ×2 and 2 others — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 36 units, plus 39 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,383 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,196 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 36 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 19 Fire Shard, 8 Ice Shard, 4 Wind Cluster and 4 other kinds.

The chain crosses five disciplines — Armorer to Lv 50, Goldsmith to Lv 50, Blacksmith to Lv 38, Culinarian to Lv 16 and Alchemist to Lv 14 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 6 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Gold Ore (9:00) and Native Gold (4:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 19 Eorzean hours, about 55 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Gold Ingot has the widest use: 184 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
