Ala Mhigan Fishing Rod ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Ala Mhigan Fishing Rod is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Snailfish Oil ×3, Gazelle Leather ×1, Torreya Lumber ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 11 distinct raw materials totalling 34 units, plus 30 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,052 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,145 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 26 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 6 Lightning Cluster, 6 Water Cluster, 5 Earth Crystal and 3 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 70, Alchemist to Lv 70 and Leatherworker to Lv 68 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 11 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Torreya Log (6:00, 18:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Gazelle Leather has the widest use: 81 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
