Doman Steel Pliers

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Doman Steel Pliers is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Tama-hagane Ingot ×3 and Oroshigane Ingot ×4 — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 32 units, plus 40 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,750 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,223 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 31 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 36 Fire Crystal and 4 Earth Crystal.

Every step is Blacksmith work, from a Lv 64 intermediate up to the Lv 67 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

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