Camphorwood Armillae of Aiming ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Camphorwood Armillae of Aiming is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Opal ×2, Eikon Iron Ingot ×1, Grade 1 Dexterity Dissolvent ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 11 distinct raw materials totalling 34 units, plus 39 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,052 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,145 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 34 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 20 Wind Crystal, 9 Wind Cluster, 4 Ice Cluster and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 60, Goldsmith to Lv 60 and Alchemist to Lv 53 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

7 of the 11 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Old-growth Camphorwood Log (8:00, 20:00), Smithsonite Ore (8:00, 20:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Eikon Iron Ingot has the widest use: 140 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
