Teak Composite Bow ★★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Teak Composite Bow is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Teak Lumber ×3, Cashmere Cloth ×2, Scintillant Ingot ×2 and 2 others — which resolve to 12 distinct raw materials totalling 100 units, plus 51 crystals.

That bill outweighs 13,470 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,510 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 45 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Wind Cluster, 12 Ice Cluster, 10 Fire Cluster and 2 other kinds.

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

3 of the 12 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Luminium Ore (6:00, 18:00), Teak Log (0:00, 12:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 real-world minutes.

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