Hanya Mask ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Hanya Mask is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Palladium Ingot ×2, Steel Nails ×1, Palladium Nugget ×2 and 1 other — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 28 units, plus 27 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,936 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,645 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 10 Wind Crystal, 6 Fire Cluster, 6 Wind Cluster and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 70 and Blacksmith to Lv 27 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 8 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.
