The Dark's Embrace Orchestrion Roll

Taken all the way down to base materials, one The Dark's Embrace Orchestrion Roll is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Blank Grade 1 Orchestrion Roll ×1 and Enchanted Silver Ink ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 6 units, plus 9 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,542 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 917 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 3 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 5 Water Shard, 3 Lightning Shard and 1 Wind Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Alchemist to Lv 30 and Carpenter to Lv 20 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 5 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 2 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Blank Grade 1 Orchestrion Roll has the widest use: 9 recipes call for it, all of them Alchemist recipes.
