Diadochos Compound Bow ★★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Diadochos Compound Bow is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Dark Cherry Lumber ×3, Grade 8 Dexterity Alkahest ×2, Softsilver Ingot ×2 and 1 other — which resolve to 10 distinct raw materials totalling 47 units, plus 50 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,643 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,337 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 12 Ice Cluster, 12 Wind Cluster, 8 Fire Crystal and 4 other kinds.

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

6 of the 10 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Dark Cherry Log (2:00, 14:00), Lovingbloom (0:00, 12:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 8 Eorzean hours, about 23 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Chondrite Ingot has the widest use: 210 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
