Griffin Talon Ring of Slaying

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Griffin Talon Ring of Slaying is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Aurum Regis Nugget ×1 and Grade 1 Strength Dissolvent ×1 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 14 units, plus 19 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 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 9 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Wind Crystal, 5 Fire Crystal and 4 Water Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 59 and Alchemist to Lv 53 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 6 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.
