Deepgold Mask of Scouting

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Deepgold Mask of Scouting is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Deepgold Nugget ×2, Kudzu Cloth ×1, Stonegold Nugget ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 23 units, plus 34 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,647 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 847 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 11 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 23 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 12 Fire Crystal, 6 Ice Crystal, 6 Wind Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Armorer to Lv 71, Blacksmith to Lv 71, Goldsmith to Lv 71 and Weaver to Lv 64 — 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, Ruby Cotton Yarn has the widest use: 91 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
