Rakshasa Kote of Maiming ★★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rakshasa Kote of Maiming is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 7 intermediates — Chigusa Ingot ×2, Grade 4 Reisui of Strength ×1, Procoptodon Leather ×1 and 4 others — which resolve to 12 distinct raw materials totalling 30 units, plus 28 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,368 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,081 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 1 recipe nests deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 24 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 9 Fire Crystal, 6 Earth Cluster, 3 Lightning Crystal and 5 other kinds.

The chain crosses five disciplines — Armorer to Lv 70, Alchemist to Lv 70, Blacksmith to Lv 70, Leatherworker to Lv 70 and Weaver to Lv 62 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

7 of the 12 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Azim Spring Water (8:00, 20:00) and Gyr Abanian Ore (0:00, 12:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 8 Eorzean hours, about 23 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Oroshigane Ingot has the widest use: 114 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
