Rarefied Aurum Regis Earrings

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rarefied Aurum Regis Earrings is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Aurum Regis Nugget ×2, Hardsilver Ingot ×1 and Hardsilver Nugget ×1 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 24 units, plus 30 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,926 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,346 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 11 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 19 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 25 Wind Crystal and 5 Fire Crystal.

Every step is Goldsmith work, from a Lv 54 intermediate up to the Lv 60 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

All 6 raw materials are gathered, and one of them is time-gated: Gold Ore (9:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Aurum Regis Nugget has the widest use: 185 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
