Replica Allagan Cane ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Replica Allagan Cane is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Platinum Ingot ×3, Wootz Ingot ×2 and Ebony Lumber ×1 — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 52 units, plus 29 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,890 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 2,082 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 24 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 12 Fire Cluster, 11 Wind Cluster, 4 Earth Cluster and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 60, Blacksmith to Lv 50 and Carpenter to Lv 50 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

2 of the 8 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Ebony Log (4:00) and Platinum Ore (4:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Platinum Ingot has the widest use: 176 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
