Rakshasa Gantai of Striking ★★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rakshasa Gantai of Striking is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Evergleam Ingot ×2, Bloodhempen Yarn ×1, Grade 4 Reisui of Strength ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 11 distinct raw materials totalling 26 units, plus 22 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,543 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,562 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 18 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 6 Wind Cluster, 5 Wind Crystal, 4 Fire Cluster and 4 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 70, Alchemist to Lv 70, Leatherworker to Lv 70 and Weaver to Lv 61 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 11 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Azim Spring Water (8:00, 20:00) and Evergleam Ore (10:00, 22:00). 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.
