Augmented Kelesis ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Augmented Kelesis is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Prismatic Ingot ×3, Ethereal Silk ×2, Onyx ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 45 units, plus 48 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,451 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,996 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 34 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 21 Wind Crystal, 10 Wind Cluster, 7 Fire Crystal and 2 other kinds.

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

4 of the 8 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Ethereal Cocoon (8:00, 20:00), Prismstone (4:00, 16:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 4 Eorzean hours, about 12 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Prismatic Ingot has the widest use: 79 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
