Doman Iron Awl

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Doman Iron Awl is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Oroshigane Ingot ×2, Pine Lumber ×1, Ruby Cotton Cloth ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 18 units, plus 23 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,380 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 781 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 8 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 15 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 12 Fire Crystal, 4 Earth Crystal, 4 Wind Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 65, Carpenter to Lv 64 and Weaver to Lv 62 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 4 raw materials are gathered, and not one of their spots is timed, so nothing in the tree waits on the Eorzean clock.

Of the intermediates, Oroshigane Ingot has the widest use: 114 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
