Titanium Alloy Square ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Titanium Alloy Square is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Titanium Nugget ×1 — which resolves to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 10 units, plus 7 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,754 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 540 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 4 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 4 Fire Crystal, 2 Ice Cluster and 1 Earth Cluster.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Armorer to Lv 60 and Blacksmith to Lv 54 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 5 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Sphalerite (2:00, 6:00, 10:00, 14:00, 18:00, 22:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 4 Eorzean hours, about 12 real-world minutes.

Titanium Alloy Square is itself consumed by 1 further recipe, all of them Alchemist recipes.
