Glade Bachelor's Chest ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Glade Bachelor's Chest is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Ancient Lumber ×4, Cobalt Ingot ×3, Varnish ×2 and 2 others — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 27 units, plus 51 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,763 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,005 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 48 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 20 Fire Shard, 16 Water Shard, 10 Wind Cluster and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 50, Blacksmith to Lv 43 and Alchemist to Lv 41 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 7 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Scarlet Sap (3:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

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