Mythrite Sledgehammer

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Mythrite Sledgehammer is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Mythrite Ingot ×2, Holy Cedar Lumber ×1, Void Glue ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 34 units, plus 31 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,052 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,301 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 7 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 24 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 16 Fire Crystal, 6 Water Crystal, 6 Wind Crystal and 1 other kind.

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

6 of the 8 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Dravanian Mistletoe (0:00, 12:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Mythrite Nugget has the widest use: 102 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
