Silvergrace Halfmask of Striking ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Silvergrace Halfmask of Striking is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Silvergrace Ingot ×3, Grade 3 Reisui of Strength ×1, Imperial Jade ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 11 distinct raw materials totalling 33 units, plus 27 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,907 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,755 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 11 Wind Crystal, 6 Fire Cluster, 6 Wind Cluster and 2 other kinds.

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

7 of the 11 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Gyr Abanian Spring Water (10:00, 22:00), Raw Imperial Jade (6:00, 18:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 8 Eorzean hours, about 23 real-world minutes.

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