Tsukuyomi's Moonlit Cane ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Tsukuyomi's Moonlit Cane is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Torreya Lumber ×3, Molybdenum Ingot ×2, Rhea Cloth ×2 and 1 other — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 50 units, plus 45 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,777 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,354 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 31 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Fire Crystal, 10 Wind Cluster, 7 Ice Crystal and 4 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 70, Weaver to Lv 70 and Blacksmith to Lv 68 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 9 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Rhea (0:00, 12:00) and Torreya Log (6:00, 18:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Molybdenum Ingot has the widest use: 109 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
