Tsukuyomi's Moonlit Paladin Arms ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Tsukuyomi's Moonlit Paladin Arms is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Chromite Ingot ×3, Torreya Lumber ×2 and Molybdenum Ingot ×5 — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 61 units, plus 59 crystals.

That bill outweighs 13,148 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,392 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 45 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 25 Fire Crystal, 7 Earth Crystal, 7 Ice Crystal and 4 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Armorer to Lv 70, Blacksmith to Lv 70 and Carpenter to Lv 70 — 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: Chromite Ore (10:00, 22:00) and Torreya Log (6:00, 18:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 8 Eorzean hours, about 23 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Chromite Ingot has the widest use: 121 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
