Classic Chandelier ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Classic Chandelier is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Crystal Glass ×4, Palladium Ingot ×3, High Steel Nugget ×2 and 2 others — which resolve to 11 distinct raw materials totalling 75 units, plus 65 crystals.

That bill outweighs 13,370 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 2,165 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 61 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 20 Water Crystal, 15 Wind Crystal, 8 Fire Cluster and 3 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 70, Blacksmith to Lv 61 and Alchemist to Lv 50 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

8 of the 11 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, High Steel Nugget has the widest use: 133 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
