Diamond Chandelier ★★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Diamond Chandelier is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Platinum Ingot ×2 and Wolfram Ingot ×2 — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 40 units, plus 28 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,825 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,904 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 14 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 14 Ice Crystal, 8 Fire Cluster, 4 Wind 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 2 of them are time-gated: Ferberite (3:00) and Platinum Ore (4:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 23 Eorzean hours, about 67 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Platinum Ingot has the widest use: 176 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
