Titanbronze Pliers

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Titanbronze Pliers is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Titanbronze Ingot ×2 and Titanbronze Nugget ×1 — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 15 units, plus 35 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,735 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 730 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 21 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 21 Fire Crystal, 7 Earth Crystal and 7 Wind Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 77 and Goldsmith to Lv 76 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 3 raw materials are gathered, and not one of their spots is timed, so nothing in the tree waits on the Eorzean clock.

Of the intermediates, Titanbronze Nugget has the widest use: 72 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
