Classical Wristband of Slaying ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Classical Wristband of Slaying is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Mempisang Lumber ×2, Grade 6 Strength Alkahest ×1, Star Quartz ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 24 units, plus 40 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,926 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 904 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 34 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 16 Wind Crystal, 9 Ice Cluster, 9 Wind Cluster and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 90, Alchemist to Lv 90 and Goldsmith to Lv 88 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 9 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Double-edged Herb (10:00, 22:00) and Mempisang Log (6:00, 18:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 8 Eorzean hours, about 23 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Star Quartz has the widest use: 157 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
