Augmented Deima ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Augmented Deima is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Prismatic Ingot ×4, Dwarven Mythril Nugget ×1 and Sandalwood Lumber ×1 — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 44 units, plus 41 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,337 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,982 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 27 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 14 Wind Crystal, 10 Wind Cluster, 8 Fire Cluster and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 80 and Carpenter to Lv 80 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 8 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Prismstone (4:00, 16:00) and Sandalwood Log (2:00, 14:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 10 Eorzean hours, about 29 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Dwarven Mythril Nugget has the widest use: 154 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
