Star of the Goddess ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Star of the Goddess is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Eikon Iron Ingot ×3, High Mythrite Ingot ×2 and Enchanted Aurum Regis Ink ×1 — which resolve to 11 distinct raw materials totalling 51 units, plus 35 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,830 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 2,075 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 30 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 14 Fire Cluster, 12 Wind Cluster, 5 Water Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 60, Blacksmith to Lv 60 and Alchemist to Lv 58 — 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: Lumythrite Ore (2:00, 14:00) and Smithsonite Ore (8:00, 20:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, High Mythrite Ingot has the widest use: 150 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
