Augmented Eleos ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Augmented Eleos is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Tungsten Steel Ingot ×4, Dwarven Mythril Nugget ×1 and Prismatic Ingot ×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 1,595 of the 1,932 Blacksmith 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 10 Fire Cluster, 8 Earth Cluster, 7 Earth Crystal and 3 other kinds.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 80 and Goldsmith 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 Tungsten Ore (10:00, 22:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 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.
