Frypan Caliente

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Frypan Caliente is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Mythrite Nugget ×4, Cedar Lumber ×1 and Mythrite Rivets ×1 — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 29 units, plus 24 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,170 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,028 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 18 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 15 Fire Crystal, 3 Earth Crystal, 3 Ice Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Armorer to Lv 52, Blacksmith to Lv 51 and Carpenter to Lv 51 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 3 raw materials are gathered, and not one of their spots is timed, so nothing in the tree waits on the Eorzean clock.

Of the intermediates, Mythrite Nugget has the widest use: 102 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
