Neo-Ishgardian Wristbands of Aiming ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Neo-Ishgardian Wristbands of Aiming is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Dwarven Mythril Nugget ×1, Grade 3 Dexterity Alkahest ×1, Merbau Lumber ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 11 distinct raw materials totalling 24 units, plus 23 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,926 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,346 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 19 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 7 Wind Crystal, 6 Wind Cluster, 4 Fire Cluster and 3 other kinds.

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

6 of the 11 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Imperial Fern (0:00, 12:00), Merbau Log (8:00, 20:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 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.
