Diaspore Choker of Casting

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Diaspore Choker of Casting is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Stonegold Ingot ×2, Diaspore ×1, Electrum Ingot ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 20 units, plus 41 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,876 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,141 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 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 30 Wind Crystal, 6 Fire Crystal and 5 Wind Shard.

Every step is Goldsmith work, from a Lv 42 intermediate up to the Lv 73 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

All 5 raw materials are gathered, and 2 of them are time-gated: Raw Diaspore (6:00, 18:00) and Gold Ore (9:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

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