Ceremonial Censer

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Ceremonial Censer is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — White Gold Ingot ×2 and Titanium Gold Nugget ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 19 units, plus 40 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,589 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 733 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 24 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 16 Wind Crystal, 8 Earth Crystal, 8 Fire Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Armorer to Lv 98, Blacksmith to Lv 96 and Goldsmith to Lv 96 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 5 raw materials are gathered, and not one of their spots is timed, so nothing in the tree waits on the Eorzean clock.

Of the intermediates, White Gold Ingot has the widest use: 121 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
