Facet Fishing Rod ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Facet Fishing Rod is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Alumina Whetstone ×3, Sandalwood Lumber ×3 and Dwarven Mythril Nugget ×1 — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 41 units, plus 35 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,923 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,245 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 31 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 14 Wind Cluster, 8 Ice Cluster, 7 Wind Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 80 and Goldsmith to Lv 80 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 8 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Beryllium Ore (4:00, 16:00) and Sandalwood Log (2:00, 14:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 10 Eorzean hours, about 29 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Dwarven Mythril Nugget has the widest use: 154 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
