Diadochos Halfgloves of Maiming ★★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Diadochos Halfgloves of Maiming is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Garnet Cotton ×2, Grade 8 Strength Alkahest ×2, Chondrite Ingot ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 10 distinct raw materials totalling 32 units, plus 38 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,750 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,133 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 32 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 9 Lightning Cluster, 8 Fire Crystal, 6 Earth Cluster and 4 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Armorer to Lv 90, Alchemist to Lv 90, Blacksmith to Lv 90 and Weaver 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: Lovingbloom (0:00, 12:00), Maghemite (6:00, 18:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 real-world minutes.

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