Koppranickel Turban of Scouting

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Koppranickel Turban of Scouting is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Koppranickel Nugget ×2, Bloodhempen Cloth ×1, Star Ruby ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 22 units, plus 24 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,402 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,234 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 19 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 13 Wind Crystal, 5 Wind Shard, 4 Lightning Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 61 and Weaver to Lv 61 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 5 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, Koppranickel Nugget has the widest use: 124 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
