Crystal Chandelier ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Crystal Chandelier is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Crystal Glass ×6, Sapphire ×6, Eikon Iron Ingot ×2 and 2 others — which resolve to 13 distinct raw materials totalling 82 units, plus 85 crystals.

That bill outweighs 13,417 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 2,171 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 80 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 30 Water Crystal, 21 Wind Cluster, 18 Fire Cluster and 2 other kinds.

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

8 of the 13 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Lumythrite Ore (2:00, 14:00), Smithsonite Ore (8:00, 20:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, High Mythrite Ingot has the widest use: 150 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
