Rarefied High Durium Pistol

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rarefied High Durium Pistol is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — High Durium Nugget ×2, Ametrine ×1, Lignum Vitae Lumber ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 23 units, plus 54 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,647 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 956 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 39 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Fire Crystal, 23 Wind Crystal and 7 Earth Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 81, Goldsmith to Lv 81 and Carpenter to Lv 78 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 5 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, Lignum Vitae Lumber has the widest use: 134 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
