Courtly Lover's Longbow ★★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Courtly Lover's Longbow is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Double Duraluminum Ingot ×3, Grade 4 Gemsap of Dexterity ×2, Rose Garnet ×2 and 1 other — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 43 units, plus 50 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,178 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,953 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 9 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Dense Aluminum Ore (10:00, 22:00), Rose Garnet Ore (0:00, 12:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 8 Eorzean hours, about 23 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.
