Mythrite Patas

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Mythrite Patas is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Mythrite Nugget ×4, Cobalt Ingot ×2 and Mythrite Rivets ×2 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 30 units, plus 33 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,368 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,196 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 28 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 21 Fire Crystal, 10 Fire Shard and 2 Earth Crystal.

Every step is Blacksmith work, from a Lv 42 intermediate up to the Lv 51 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

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, Cobalt Ingot has the widest use: 145 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
