Alpine Chair

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Alpine Chair is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Hardsilver Nugget ×3, Dark Chestnut Lumber ×2 and Cedar Lumber ×1 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 33 units, plus 31 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,907 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,116 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 8 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 23 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 27 Wind Crystal and 4 Ice Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 55 and Goldsmith to Lv 54 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 4 raw materials are gathered, and not one of their spots is timed, so nothing in the tree waits on the Eorzean clock.

Of the intermediates, Hardsilver Nugget has the widest use: 88 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
