Adamantite Sabatons of Maiming

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Adamantite Sabatons of Maiming is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Adamantite Nugget ×2, Dragon Leather ×1, Grade 1 Strength Dissolvent ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 12 distinct raw materials totalling 34 units, plus 40 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,052 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,169 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 30 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 18 Fire Crystal, 10 Earth Crystal, 5 Ice Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses five disciplines — Armorer to Lv 58, Blacksmith to Lv 58, Leatherworker to Lv 56, Alchemist to Lv 53 and Goldsmith to Lv 50 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

9 of the 12 raw materials come out of the ground, and 4 of them are time-gated: Adamantite Ore (0:00, 2:00, 6:00, 10:00, 12:00, 14:00, 18:00, 22:00), Darksteel Ore (1:00) and 2 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.
