Zurvan Miniature ★★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Zurvan Miniature is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Heavy Metal Ingot ×3, Adamantite Ingot ×2, Wolfram Ingot ×6 and 1 other — which resolve to 11 distinct raw materials totalling 53 units, plus 56 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,925 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,371 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 50 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 23 Fire Cluster, 20 Earth Cluster, 10 Fire Crystal and 1 other kind.

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

7 of the 11 raw materials come out of the ground, and 6 of them are time-gated: Adamantite Ore (0:00, 2:00, 6:00, 10:00, 12:00, 14:00, 18:00, 22:00), Blue Quartz (6:00, 18:00) and 4 others. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 4 Eorzean hours, about 12 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Wolfram Ingot has the widest use: 107 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
