Persimmon Cane

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Persimmon Cane is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Durium Ingot ×2, Persimmon Lumber ×2, Growth Formula Theta ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 41 units, plus 51 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,923 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,245 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 42 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 37 Wind Crystal, 10 Water Crystal and 4 Ice Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 66, Alchemist to Lv 66 and Goldsmith to Lv 66 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 8 raw materials are gathered, and 2 of them are time-gated: Perlite (20:00) and Windtea Leaves (16:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 20 Eorzean hours, about 58 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Durium Nugget has the widest use: 142 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
