Connoisseur's Drinking Apkallu ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Connoisseur's Drinking Apkallu is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Ophiotauros Leather ×1 and Phrygian Gold Ingot ×1 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 14 units, plus 22 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,557 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 807 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 16 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 8 Earth Crystal, 8 Wind Crystal, 4 Earth Cluster and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 90 and Goldsmith to Lv 84 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 6 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 3 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

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