Titanium Claw Hammer

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Titanium Claw Hammer is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Titanium Nugget ×2, Dark Chestnut Lumber ×1 and Linseed Oil ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 21 units, plus 24 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,152 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 874 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 15 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 13 Fire Crystal, 4 Earth Crystal, 4 Wind Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 56, Carpenter to Lv 54 and Alchemist to Lv 29 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 5 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, Titanium Nugget has the widest use: 112 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
