Ice Chandelier ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Ice Chandelier is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Darksteel Ingot ×2, Gold Ingot ×2 and Darksteel Nugget ×4 — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 47 units, plus 32 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,643 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 2,033 of the 2,216 Goldsmith 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 12 Fire Crystal, 12 Ice Crystal, 4 Fire Cluster and 1 other kind.

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

3 of the 8 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Darksteel Ore (1:00), Gold Ore (9:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 16 Eorzean hours, about 47 real-world minutes.

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