Stonegold Orrery

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Stonegold Orrery is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Stonegold Ingot ×3, Electrum Ingot ×1 and Enchanted Truegold Ink ×1 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 24 units, plus 41 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,926 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,346 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 12 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 29 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Wind Crystal, 6 Fire Crystal, 6 Water Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 73 and Alchemist to Lv 71 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 6 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, Electrum Ingot has the widest use: 234 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
