Yamashi Momohiki ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Yamashi Momohiki is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — True Linen ×6, Veteran Tree Sap ×3, Palladium Nugget ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 10 distinct raw materials totalling 48 units, plus 35 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,691 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,860 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 31 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 14 Lightning Cluster, 8 Wind Cluster, 6 Water Cluster and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Weaver to Lv 70, Alchemist to Lv 70 and Goldsmith to Lv 68 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 10 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Hardened Veteran Tree Sap (4:00, 16:00) and Hingan Flax (2:00, 14:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 10 Eorzean hours, about 29 real-world minutes.

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