Titanbronze Rapier

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Titanbronze Rapier is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Titanbronze Nugget ×2, Hardsilver Nugget ×1, Titanbronze Ingot ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 27 units, plus 52 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,763 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,605 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 13 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 39 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 39 Wind Crystal and 13 Fire Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 76 and Blacksmith to Lv 76 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 7 raw materials are gathered, and one of them is time-gated: Raw Triplite (0:00, 12:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Hardsilver Nugget has the widest use: 88 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
