Mythrite Necklace of Fending

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Mythrite Necklace of Fending is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Agate ×2, Mythrite Ingot ×1, Rainbow Thread ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 23 units, plus 30 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,647 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,288 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 7 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 23 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Wind Crystal, 10 Wind Shard, 9 Fire Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 53, Blacksmith to Lv 52 and Weaver to Lv 51 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 7 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, Rainbow Thread has the widest use: 116 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
