Durium Hairpin of Maiming

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Durium Hairpin of Maiming is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Durium Nugget ×2, Carnelian ×1, Grade 1 Reisui of Strength ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 11 distinct raw materials totalling 31 units, plus 36 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,578 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,713 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 8 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 28 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 22 Wind Crystal, 10 Fire Crystal and 4 Water Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 65, Alchemist to Lv 63 and Blacksmith to Lv 62 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 11 raw materials are gathered, and not one of their spots is timed, so nothing in the tree waits on the Eorzean clock.

Of the intermediates, Durium Nugget has the widest use: 142 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
