Stonegold Circlet of Maiming

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Stonegold Circlet of Maiming is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Stonegold Nugget ×2, Bright Linen Cloth ×1, Kyanite ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 18 units, plus 32 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,380 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,038 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 11 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 21 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 21 Wind Crystal, 6 Lightning Crystal and 5 Fire Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 71 and Weaver to Lv 71 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 5 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, Stonegold Nugget has the widest use: 90 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
