Grade 3 Picture Frame ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Grade 3 Picture Frame is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 7 intermediates — Ancient Lumber ×4, Astral Oil ×4, Linen Canvas ×4 and 4 others — which resolve to 11 distinct raw materials totalling 65 units, plus 70 crystals.

That bill outweighs 13,230 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,446 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 65 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 26 Lightning Shard, 23 Wind Cluster, 14 Ice Cluster and 3 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 60, Alchemist to Lv 60 and Weaver to Lv 36 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

7 of the 11 raw materials come out of the ground, and 4 of them are time-gated: Astral Moraine (0:00, 12:00), Old-growth Camphorwood Log (8:00, 20:00) and 2 others. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 4 Eorzean hours, about 12 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Treated Camphorwood Lumber has the widest use: 92 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
