Replica Allagan Star Globe ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Replica Allagan Star Globe is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Platinum Ingot ×3, Wootz Ingot ×3, Crystal Glass ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 13 distinct raw materials totalling 56 units, plus 41 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,997 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 2,104 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 36 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 14 Fire Cluster, 10 Water Crystal, 9 Wind Cluster and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 60, Alchemist to Lv 58 and Blacksmith to Lv 50 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 13 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: 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.
