Ceremonial Wand ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Ceremonial Wand is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Octahedrite Nugget ×3, Grade 3 Gemsap of Mind ×2, Rhodochrosite ×2 and 1 other — which resolve to 10 distinct raw materials totalling 41 units, plus 50 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,923 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,918 of the 2,216 Goldsmith 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 18 Fire Cluster, 9 Earth Cluster, 9 Wind Cluster and 3 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 100, Alchemist to Lv 100, Blacksmith to Lv 100 and Carpenter to Lv 98 — 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: Fulgurite (2:00, 14:00), Octahedrite (10:00, 22:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Claro Walnut Lumber has the widest use: 82 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
