Mythrite Star Globe

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Mythrite Star Globe is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Darksteel Nugget ×2, Mythrite Nugget ×2 and Enchanted Mythrite Ink ×1 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 24 units, plus 20 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,926 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,346 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 15 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 14 Fire Crystal, 3 Water Crystal and 3 Wind Crystal.

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

3 of the 4 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Darksteel Ore (1:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Darksteel Nugget has the widest use: 121 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
