Replica Allagan Rod ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Replica Allagan Rod is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Wootz Ingot ×3, Platinum Ingot ×2, Crystal Glass ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 12 distinct raw materials totalling 49 units, plus 36 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,749 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 2,059 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 31 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 12 Fire Cluster, 9 Wind Cluster, 6 Earth Cluster and 3 other kinds.

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

5 of the 12 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.
