Chrysolite Bracelet of Fending

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Chrysolite Bracelet of Fending is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Amphiptere Leather ×2, Aurum Regis Nugget ×2, Chrysolite ×2 and 2 others — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 39 units, plus 49 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,756 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,892 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 46 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 32 Wind Crystal, 10 Earth Crystal, 4 Water Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 60, Leatherworker to Lv 58 and Alchemist to Lv 54 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 9 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Gold Ore (9:00) and Volcanic Rock Salt (17:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 16 Eorzean hours, about 47 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Aurum Regis Nugget has the widest use: 185 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
