Sophia Miniature ★★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Sophia Miniature is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Gold Ingot ×2, Wolfram Ingot ×2 and Platinum Ingot ×1 — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 24 units, plus 22 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,926 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,346 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 16 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 11 Fire Cluster, 9 Wind Cluster and 2 Earth Cluster.

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

5 of the 9 raw materials come out of the ground, and 4 of them are time-gated: Ferberite (3:00), Gold Ore (9:00) and 2 others. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 18 Eorzean hours, about 53 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Gold Ingot has the widest use: 184 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
