Manasilver Ear Cuffs

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Manasilver Ear Cuffs is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Manasilver Nugget ×2, Pixie Cotton ×1, Twinthread ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 19 units, plus 36 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,589 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,074 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 13 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 23 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 21 Wind Crystal, 9 Lightning Crystal and 6 Fire Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 75 and Weaver to Lv 74 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 5 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, Twinthread has the widest use: 109 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
