Seiryu Statuette ★★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Seiryu Statuette is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Silvergrace Ingot ×2, Star Sapphire ×1, Basilisk Whetstone ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 16 units, plus 30 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,959 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,002 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 16 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 14 Wind Crystal, 7 Fire Crystal, 5 Wind Shard and 2 other kinds.

Every step is Goldsmith work, from a Lv 40 intermediate up to the Lv 70 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

5 of the 7 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Silvergrace Ore (8:00, 20:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Koppranickel Nugget has the widest use: 124 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
