Gemmaster's Chaplets ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Gemmaster's Chaplets is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Aurum Regis Ingot ×3, Larimar ×2, Hardsilver Ingot ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 12 distinct raw materials totalling 37 units, plus 40 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,564 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,852 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 36 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 22 Wind Crystal, 10 Wind Shard, 4 Fire Cluster and 1 other kind.

Every step is Goldsmith work, from a Lv 40 intermediate up to the Lv 60 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

9 of the 12 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Aurum Regis Ore (2:00, 14:00), Violet Quartz (0:00, 12:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 10 Eorzean hours, about 29 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.
