Pine Spinning Wheel

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Pine Spinning Wheel is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Pine Lumber ×3 and High Steel Nugget ×1 — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 17 units, plus 23 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,161 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 692 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 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 16 Wind Crystal, 4 Ice Crystal and 3 Fire Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 65 and Blacksmith to Lv 61 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 3 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, High Steel Nugget has the widest use: 133 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
