Mounted Cupboard ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Mounted Cupboard is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Torreya Lumber ×4, Cobalt Joint Plate ×2, Hardsilver Nugget ×2 and 1 other — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 42 units, plus 48 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,044 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,260 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 44 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Fire Shard, 10 Ice Cluster, 10 Ice Shard and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 70, Goldsmith to Lv 54, Armorer to Lv 44 and Blacksmith to Lv 42 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 6 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, Cobalt Ingot has the widest use: 145 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
