Galleymaster's Frypan ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Galleymaster's Frypan is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Adamantite Ingot ×3, Astral Birch Lumber ×1, Aurum Regis Nugget ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 14 distinct raw materials totalling 49 units, plus 40 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,749 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,347 of the 1,441 Armorer 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 15 Wind Crystal, 10 Fire Crystal, 4 Earth Cluster and 5 other kinds.

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

9 of the 14 raw materials come out of the ground, and 7 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 5 others. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 4 Eorzean hours, about 12 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.
