Rose Gold Cog ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rose Gold Cog is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Rose Gold Nugget ×2 — which resolves to 2 distinct raw materials totalling 8 units, plus 27 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,254 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 742 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 21 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 6 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 11 Wind Shard, 10 Fire Shard and 6 Wind Crystal.

Every step is Goldsmith work, from a Lv 50 intermediate up to the Lv 50 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

Both raw materials are gathered, and one of them is time-gated: Gold Ore (9:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Rose Gold Cog is itself consumed by 1 further recipe, all of them Goldsmith recipes.
