Suzaku's Flame-kissed Ephemeris ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Suzaku's Flame-kissed Ephemeris is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Palladium Ingot ×3, Chromite Ingot ×2, Zelkova Lumber ×2 and 2 others — which resolve to 11 distinct raw materials totalling 69 units, plus 69 crystals.

That bill outweighs 13,278 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 2,146 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 55 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 32 Wind Crystal, 17 Fire Crystal, 10 Fire Cluster and 2 other kinds.

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

7 of the 11 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Chromite Ore (10:00, 22:00) and Palladium Ore (4:00, 16:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 real-world minutes.

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