Sharpened Adamantite Awl ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Sharpened Adamantite Awl is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 7 intermediates — Adamantite Ingot ×2, Astral Birch Lumber ×1, Chimerical Felt ×1 and 4 others — which resolve to 16 distinct raw materials totalling 52 units, plus 42 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,890 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,756 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 38 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Fire Crystal, 10 Wind Crystal, 5 Lightning Crystal and 7 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 60, Alchemist to Lv 60, Carpenter to Lv 60 and Weaver to Lv 58 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

9 of the 16 raw materials come out of the ground, and 6 of them are time-gated: Adamantite Ore (0:00, 2:00, 6:00, 10:00, 12:00, 14:00, 18:00, 22:00), Astral Moraine (0:00, 12:00) and 4 others. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 4 Eorzean hours, about 12 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Chimerical Felt has the widest use: 113 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
