Titanium Mitt Gauntlets of Maiming

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Titanium Mitt Gauntlets of Maiming is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Dhalmel Leather ×2, Titanium Nugget ×2 and Rose Gold Nugget ×1 — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 26 units, plus 27 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,543 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 942 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 8 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 19 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 12 Earth Crystal, 8 Fire Crystal, 4 Ice Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Armorer to Lv 55, 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.
