Deepgold Chakrams

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Deepgold Chakrams is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Deepgold Ingot ×2, Beetle Glue ×1, Green Glider Leather ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 27 units, plus 46 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,763 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,123 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 12 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 34 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 18 Fire Crystal, 12 Earth Crystal, 12 Wind Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 73, Goldsmith to Lv 72, Leatherworker to Lv 72 and Alchemist to Lv 64 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 9 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, Beetle Glue has the widest use: 54 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
