Tsukuyomi's Moonlit Ephemeris ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Tsukuyomi's Moonlit Ephemeris is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Palladium Ingot ×3, Rhea Cloth ×2, Palladium Nugget ×5 and 1 other — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 65 units, plus 60 crystals.

That bill outweighs 13,230 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 2,137 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 46 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 32 Wind Crystal, 10 Wind Cluster, 7 Fire Crystal and 3 other kinds.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 70 and Weaver to Lv 70 — 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: Palladium Ore (4:00, 16:00) and Rhea (0:00, 12:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 8 Eorzean hours, about 23 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Palladium Nugget has the widest use: 129 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
