Rarefied Stonegold Orrery

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rarefied Stonegold Orrery is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Stonegold Ingot ×2, Electrum Ingot ×1 and Enchanted Truegold Ink ×1 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 19 units, plus 36 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,589 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,074 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 13 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 23 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 19 Wind Crystal, 6 Fire Crystal, 6 Water Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 74 and Alchemist to Lv 71 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 6 raw materials come out of the ground, 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, Electrum Ingot has the widest use: 234 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
