Titanium Mail of Striking

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Titanium Mail of Striking is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 11 intermediates — Grade 1 Strength Dissolvent ×2, Titanium Ingot ×2, Dragon Leather ×1 and 8 others — which resolve to 16 distinct raw materials totalling 54 units, plus 61 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,945 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,374 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 1 recipe nests deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 52 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 18 Fire Crystal, 9 Earth Crystal, 9 Lightning Crystal and 4 other kinds.

The chain crosses six disciplines — Armorer to Lv 57, Alchemist to Lv 56, Blacksmith to Lv 56, Goldsmith to Lv 56, Leatherworker to Lv 56 and Weaver to Lv 56 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

13 of the 16 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Abalathian Mistletoe (6:00, 18:00) and Volcanic Rock Salt (17:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Hardsilver Ingot has the widest use: 117 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
