Adamantite Armor of Maiming

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Adamantite Armor of Maiming is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 10 intermediates — Adamantite Nugget ×3, Grade 1 Strength Dissolvent ×2, Hallowed Ramie Cloth ×1 and 7 others — which resolve to 14 distinct raw materials totalling 47 units, plus 56 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,643 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,331 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 1 recipe nests deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 46 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 23 Fire Crystal, 9 Lightning Crystal, 9 Water Crystal and 4 other kinds.

The chain crosses five disciplines — Armorer to Lv 59, Blacksmith to Lv 58, Alchemist to Lv 56, Weaver to Lv 56 and Goldsmith to Lv 50 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

12 of the 14 raw materials come out of the ground, and 5 of them are time-gated: Adamantite Ore (0:00, 2:00, 6:00, 10:00, 12:00, 14:00, 18:00, 22:00), Abalathian Mistletoe (6:00, 18:00) and 3 others. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 4 Eorzean hours, about 12 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.
