White Oak Composite Bow

Taken all the way down to base materials, one White Oak Composite Bow is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — White Oak Lumber ×3, Oroshigane Ingot ×1, Stonegold Nugget ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 27 units, plus 41 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,763 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,005 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 11 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 30 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 30 Wind Crystal, 5 Ice Crystal, 4 Fire Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 71, Goldsmith to Lv 71, Weaver to Lv 68 and Blacksmith to Lv 64 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 7 raw materials are gathered, and one of them is time-gated: Gold Ore (9:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Oroshigane Ingot has the widest use: 114 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
