Everseeker's Fishing Rod ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Everseeker's Fishing Rod is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Ipe Lumber ×3, Optical Nanofiber ×3 and Ra'Kaznar Ingot ×1 — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 45 units, plus 50 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,451 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,317 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, 9 Lightning Cluster and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 100, Alchemist to Lv 100 and Blacksmith to Lv 98 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 8 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Ipe Log (0:00, 12:00) and Optical Fibergrass (4:00, 16:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 8 Eorzean hours, about 23 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Ra'Kaznar Ingot has the widest use: 166 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
