Titanium Hoplon

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Titanium Hoplon is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Titanium Ingot ×3, Hallowed Chestnut Lumber ×1, Titanium Rivets ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 49 units, plus 58 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,749 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,347 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 49 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 35 Fire Crystal, 9 Wind Crystal, 5 Ice Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Armorer to Lv 57, Alchemist to Lv 56, Blacksmith to Lv 56 and Carpenter to Lv 56 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 7 raw materials are gathered, and one of them is time-gated: Abalathian Mistletoe (6:00, 18:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

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