Silvergrace Rod ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Silvergrace Rod is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Grade 3 Reisui of Intelligence ×3, Silvergrace Ingot ×3, Rhodonite ×2 and 2 others — which resolve to 13 distinct raw materials totalling 44 units, plus 38 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,337 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,982 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 34 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 18 Wind Crystal, 8 Wind Cluster, 6 Fire Cluster and 3 other kinds.

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

8 of the 13 raw materials come out of the ground, and 4 of them are time-gated: Black Willow Log (4:00, 16:00), Gyr Abanian Spring Water (10:00, 22:00) and 2 others. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Koppranickel Nugget has the widest use: 124 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
