Subduer ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Subduer is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Darksteel Ingot ×1, Rose Gold Nugget ×1, Spruce Lumber ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 31 units, plus 24 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,578 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,210 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 2 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 22 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 15 Fire Crystal, 6 Wind Crystal, 2 Fire Cluster and 1 other kind.

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

4 of the 5 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, Rose Gold Nugget has the widest use: 179 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
