The Fae's Crown Star Globe ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one The Fae's Crown Star Globe is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Prismatic Ingot ×4, Onyx ×1, Tungsten Steel Ingot ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 45 units, plus 38 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,451 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,996 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 34 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 14 Wind Crystal, 12 Fire Cluster, 10 Wind Cluster and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 80 and Blacksmith to Lv 80 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 8 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Prismstone (4:00, 16:00), Raw Onyx (0:00, 12:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Tungsten Steel Ingot has the widest use: 113 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
