Mythrite Stilettos

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Mythrite Stilettos is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Mythrite Ingot ×3, Cobalt Ingot ×1, Void Glue ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 42 units, plus 36 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 29 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 22 Fire Crystal, 6 Earth Crystal, 5 Fire Shard and 1 other kind.

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

6 of the 9 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, Cobalt Ingot has the widest use: 145 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
