Ceremonial Torquetum ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Ceremonial Torquetum is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Rhodochrosite ×3, Diatryma Felt ×2, Grade 3 Gemsap of Mind ×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 Wind Cluster, 12 Fire Cluster, 9 Lightning Cluster and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 100, Alchemist to Lv 100 and Weaver to Lv 100 — 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: Cochineal Pigment (6:00, 18:00), Fulgurite (2:00, 14:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Thunderyards Silk has the widest use: 120 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
