Mythrite Flametongue

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Mythrite Flametongue is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Mythrite Ingot ×3, Silver Ingot ×1, Void Glue ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 42 units, plus 33 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,044 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,501 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 7 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 26 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 22 Fire Crystal, 6 Earth Crystal, 3 Water Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 53, Leatherworker to Lv 52, Alchemist to Lv 51 and Goldsmith to Lv 23 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 8 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Coerthan Tea Leaves (0:00, 8:00, 10:00, 12:00, 20:00, 22:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 8 Eorzean hours, about 23 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Silver Ingot has the widest use: 157 recipes call for it, spanning eight of the eight crafting classes.
