Classical Longpole ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Classical Longpole is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Mempisang Lumber ×3, Grade 6 Intelligence Alkahest ×2, Lunar Adamantite Ingot ×2 and 1 other — which resolve to 10 distinct raw materials totalling 40 units, plus 50 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,825 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,232 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 44 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 12 Ice Cluster, 12 Wind Cluster, 8 Wind Crystal and 4 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 90, Alchemist to Lv 90 and Blacksmith to Lv 90 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 10 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Double-edged Herb (10:00, 22:00), Lunar Adamantite Ore (2:00, 14:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 4 Eorzean hours, about 12 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Integral Lumber has the widest use: 114 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
