Faerie Chandelier ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Faerie Chandelier is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Crystal Glass ×3, Aurum Regis Nugget ×2 and Natron ×3 — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 37 units, plus 35 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 31 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 15 Water Crystal, 10 Wind Crystal, 6 Water Shard and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 60 and Alchemist to Lv 50 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 8 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Gold Ore (9:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 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.
