Oriental Pipe Box

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Oriental Pipe Box is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Larch Lumber ×2 and Koppranickel Nugget ×1 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 14 units, plus 16 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,557 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 639 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 7 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 9 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 13 Wind Crystal and 3 Ice Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 63 and Goldsmith to Lv 61 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 4 raw materials are gathered, and one of them is time-gated: Bamboo Stick (7:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Koppranickel Nugget has the widest use: 124 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
