Replica High Allagan Cleavers ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Replica High Allagan Cleavers is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Wootz Ingot ×3, Platinum Ingot ×2 and Ebony Lumber ×1 — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 43 units, plus 29 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,178 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,542 of the 1,932 Blacksmith 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 13 Fire Cluster, 8 Earth Cluster, 6 Wind Cluster and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 60, Carpenter to Lv 50 and Goldsmith 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.
