Triplite Bracelet of Fending

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Triplite Bracelet of Fending is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Triplite ×2, Dhalmel Leather ×1, Grade 1 Vitality Alkahest ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 25 units, plus 59 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,313 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,507 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 45 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 42 Wind Crystal, 7 Fire Crystal, 6 Water Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 77, Alchemist to Lv 73 and Leatherworker to Lv 54 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

7 of the 9 raw materials come out of the ground, 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, Dhalmel Leather has the widest use: 106 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
