Maleficent Moggle Mogstaff ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Maleficent Moggle Mogstaff is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Ancient Lumber ×3, Undyed Felt ×1 and Natron ×1 — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 25 units, plus 19 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,313 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 963 of the 1,552 Carpenter 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 8 Wind Cluster, 5 Lightning Shard, 4 Ice Cluster and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 50, Weaver to Lv 43 and Alchemist to Lv 25 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 9 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Scarlet Sap (3:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Undyed Felt has the widest use: 107 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
