Titanium Sallet of Maiming

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Titanium Sallet of Maiming is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Titanium Nugget ×3, Dhalmel Leather ×1, Rose Gold Nugget ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 29 units, plus 30 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,170 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,028 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 7 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 23 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 16 Fire Crystal, 7 Earth Crystal, 4 Ice Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Armorer to Lv 54, Blacksmith to Lv 54, Leatherworker to Lv 54 and Goldsmith to Lv 50 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 7 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Gold Ore (9:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Rose Gold Nugget has the widest use: 179 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
