Tribunal Flooring ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Tribunal Flooring is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Mortar ×4, Aurum Regis Ingot ×2, Gold Ingot ×2 and 2 others — which resolve to 12 distinct raw materials totalling 46 units, plus 27 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,540 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 2,009 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 23 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 8 Water Shard, 8 Wind Cluster, 6 Fire Cluster and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 60 and Alchemist to Lv 20 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

9 of the 12 raw materials come out of the ground, and 4 of them are time-gated: Aurum Regis Ore (2:00, 14:00), Violet Quartz (0:00, 12:00) and 2 others. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 10 Eorzean hours, about 29 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Aurum Regis Nugget has the widest use: 185 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
