Malevolent Moggle Mogwand ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Malevolent Moggle Mogwand is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Terminus Putty ×10, Growth Formula Delta ×1 and Quicksilver ×1 — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 34 units, plus 19 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,052 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,407 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 16 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Water Cluster, 5 Lightning Cluster, 3 Water Crystal and 1 other kind.

Every step is Alchemist work, from a Lv 1 intermediate up to the Lv 50 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

3 of the 8 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Trillium Bulb (21:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Terminus Putty has the widest use: 69 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
