Enchanted Platinum Ink ★★★

Nothing in this list is craftable in turn, so one Enchanted Platinum Ink is a single step: 3 units of material drawn from 3 base items, plus 5 crystals.

That bill outweighs 3,373 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 426 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 9,374 recipes nest deeper.

1 of the 3 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Platinum Ore (4:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Enchanted Platinum Ink is itself consumed by 22 further recipes, spanning two of the eight crafting classes.
