Pactmaker's Spinning Wheel ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Pactmaker's Spinning Wheel is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Eblan Danburite ×3, Mempisang Lumber ×3 and Ophiotauros Leather ×1 — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 44 units, plus 50 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,337 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,302 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 21 Wind Cluster, 12 Ice Cluster, 9 Fire Cluster and 1 other kind.

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

3 of the 8 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Mempisang Log (6:00, 18:00) and Raw Eblan Danburite (0:00, 12:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Ophiotauros Leather has the widest use: 153 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
