Rakshasa Cane ★★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rakshasa Cane is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Grade 4 Reisui of Mind ×3, Urunday Lumber ×3, Evergleam Ingot ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 11 distinct raw materials totalling 32 units, plus 30 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,750 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,100 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 26 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Wind Crystal, 8 Wind Cluster, 6 Ice Cluster and 3 other kinds.

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

7 of the 11 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Azim Spring Water (8:00, 20:00), Evergleam Ore (10:00, 22:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 real-world minutes.

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