Odder Otter Lantern ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Odder Otter Lantern is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Palladium Ingot ×3, Crystal Glass ×1, Palladium Nugget ×3 and 1 other — which resolve to 10 distinct raw materials totalling 47 units, plus 38 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,643 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 2,033 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 15 Wind Crystal, 8 Fire Cluster, 8 Wind Cluster and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 70 and Alchemist to Lv 50 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

7 of the 10 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Palladium Ore (4:00, 16:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Palladium Nugget has the widest use: 129 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
