Rarefied Cobalt Tungsten Chocobo Frypan

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rarefied Cobalt Tungsten Chocobo Frypan is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Cobalt Tungsten Ingot ×2, Dark Mahogany Lumber ×1, Pink Beryl ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 24 units, plus 55 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,926 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 881 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 40 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Wind Crystal, 16 Fire Crystal, 8 Ice Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Armorer to Lv 95, Blacksmith to Lv 94, Carpenter to Lv 94 and Goldsmith to Lv 94 — 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, Cobalt Tungsten Ingot has the widest use: 105 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
