Titanium Mask of Maiming

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Titanium Mask of Maiming is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Titanium Ingot ×2, Darksteel Nugget ×1, Dhalmel Leather ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 10 distinct raw materials totalling 36 units, plus 38 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,383 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,196 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 29 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 21 Fire Crystal, 8 Earth Crystal, 5 Ice Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Armorer to Lv 56, Blacksmith to Lv 56, Leatherworker to Lv 54 and Alchemist to Lv 53 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

7 of the 10 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Darksteel Ore (1:00) and Volcanic Rock Salt (17:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 16 Eorzean hours, about 47 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Darksteel Nugget has the widest use: 121 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
