Holy Cedar Spinning Wheel

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Holy Cedar Spinning Wheel is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Holy Cedar Lumber ×3, Mythrite Rivets ×2, Holy Water ×6 and 2 others — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 35 units, plus 43 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,223 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,171 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 7 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 36 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 22 Wind Crystal, 12 Fire Crystal, 6 Water Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 53, Alchemist to Lv 52 and Blacksmith to Lv 51 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 5 raw materials are gathered, and one of them is time-gated: Dravanian Mistletoe (0:00, 12:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Mythrite Nugget has the widest use: 102 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
