Facet Circlet of Maiming ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Facet Circlet of Maiming is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Grade 2 Strength Alkahest ×2, Tungsten Steel Ingot ×2, Chalicotherium Leather ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 29 units, plus 26 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,170 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,028 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 22 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 8 Earth Cluster, 6 Fire Crystal, 4 Fire Cluster and 4 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Armorer to Lv 80, Alchemist to Lv 80, Blacksmith to Lv 80 and Leatherworker to Lv 80 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 9 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Tungsten Ore (10:00, 22:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Tungsten Steel Ingot has the widest use: 113 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
