Wolfram Mask ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Wolfram Mask is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Terminus Putty ×2, Hippogryph Leather ×1 and Wolfram Ingot ×1 — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 10 units, plus 12 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,754 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 540 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 9 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 3 Earth Crystal, 2 Earth Cluster, 2 Fire Cluster and 3 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Armorer to Lv 50, Alchemist to Lv 50, Blacksmith to Lv 50 and Leatherworker to Lv 50 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 8 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Ferberite (3:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Hippogryph Leather has the widest use: 131 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
