Deepgold Sollerets of Fending

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Deepgold Sollerets of Fending is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Deepgold Nugget ×2, Marid Leather ×1, Rubber ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 25 units, plus 40 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,313 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 922 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 11 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 29 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 12 Fire Crystal, 10 Earth Crystal, 6 Ice Crystal and 3 other kinds.

The chain crosses five disciplines — Armorer to Lv 71, Blacksmith to Lv 71, Goldsmith to Lv 71, Alchemist to Lv 66 and Leatherworker to Lv 66 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 7 raw materials come out of the ground, 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, Rubber has the widest use: 191 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
