Teak Cane ★★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Teak Cane is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Teak Lumber ×3, Scintillant Ingot ×2, Carnelian ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 11 distinct raw materials totalling 89 units, plus 54 crystals.

That bill outweighs 13,442 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,495 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 48 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 22 Wind Cluster, 12 Ice Cluster, 10 Fire Cluster and 1 other kind.

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

5 of the 11 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.
