Grade 6 Vitality Alkahest ★★

Nothing in this list is craftable in turn, so a batch of 3 Grade 6 Vitality Alkahest is a single step: 4 units of material drawn from 4 base items, plus 6 crystals.

That bill outweighs 3,935 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 746 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 9,374 recipes nest deeper.

3 of the 4 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Double-edged Herb (10:00, 22:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Grade 6 Vitality Alkahest is itself consumed by 14 further recipes, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
