Aurum Regis Earrings of Slaying

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Aurum Regis Earrings of Slaying is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Aurum Regis Nugget ×1, Grade 1 Strength Dissolvent ×1, Hardsilver Ingot ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 25 units, plus 28 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,313 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,507 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 18 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 19 Wind Crystal, 5 Fire Crystal and 4 Water Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 58 and Alchemist to Lv 53 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

7 of the 9 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Gold Ore (9:00) and Volcanic Rock Salt (17:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 16 Eorzean hours, about 47 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Aurum Regis Nugget has the widest use: 185 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
