Mythrite Scythe

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Mythrite Scythe is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Mythrite Ingot ×2, Basilisk Whetstone ×1 and Mythrite Nugget ×2 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 22 units, plus 24 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,402 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 917 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 7 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 17 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 16 Fire Crystal, 5 Wind Shard and 3 Earth Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 53 and Goldsmith to Lv 40 — 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, Mythrite Nugget has the widest use: 102 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
