Giantsgall Star Globe ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Giantsgall Star Globe is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Diluted Vitriol ×9, Enchanted Rose Gold Ink ×1 and Enchanted Gold Ink ×1 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 29 units, plus 7 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,170 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,354 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 2 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 5 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 3 Water Cluster, 3 Water Crystal and 1 Lightning Cluster.

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

1 of the 6 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Gold Sand (5:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Enchanted Gold Ink has the widest use: 38 recipes call for it, spanning two of the eight crafting classes.
