Bluespirit Sabatons of Maiming

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Bluespirit Sabatons of Maiming is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Bluespirit Tile ×2, Atrociraptor Leather ×1, Darksteel Nugget ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 22 units, plus 43 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,402 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 808 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 13 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 30 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 17 Fire Crystal, 13 Earth Crystal, 7 Ice Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Armorer to Lv 74, Blacksmith to Lv 74, Leatherworker to Lv 74 and Alchemist to Lv 73 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 8 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Darksteel Ore (1:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Darksteel Nugget has the widest use: 121 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
