Mythrite Earrings of Fending

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Mythrite Earrings of Fending is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Jadeite ×2 and Mythrite Nugget ×2 — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 14 units, plus 21 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,557 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 907 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 16 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Wind Shard, 8 Fire Crystal and 3 Wind Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 51 and Blacksmith 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.
