Viltgance Miniature ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Viltgance Miniature is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 7 intermediates — Camphorwood Lumber ×4, Cassia Block ×1, Celestine ×1 and 4 others — which resolve to 15 distinct raw materials totalling 75 units, plus 80 crystals.

That bill outweighs 13,370 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,471 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 76 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 28 Ice Crystal, 28 Wind Crystal, 8 Wind Cluster and 5 other kinds.

The chain crosses five disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 60, Alchemist to Lv 60, Blacksmith to Lv 60, Goldsmith to Lv 54 and Weaver to Lv 53 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 15 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Sphalerite (2:00, 6:00, 10:00, 14:00, 18:00, 22:00), Astral Moraine (0:00, 12:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 4 Eorzean hours, about 12 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Astral Oil has the widest use: 12 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
