Bread Rack ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Bread Rack is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 13 intermediates — Camphorwood Lumber ×5, Honey Muffin ×5, Walnut Bread ×5 and 10 others — which resolve to 14 distinct raw materials totalling 63 units, plus 129 crystals.

That bill outweighs 13,204 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,434 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 124 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 35 Ice Crystal, 35 Wind Crystal, 23 Fire Shard and 5 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 60, Culinarian to Lv 55 and Blacksmith to Lv 50 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

9 of the 14 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Darksteel Ore (1:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Darksteel Nugget has the widest use: 121 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
