Wooden Handrail

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Wooden Handrail is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Mahogany Lumber ×3 and Silver Ingot ×2 — which resolve to 2 distinct raw materials totalling 15 units, plus 28 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,735 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 652 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 19 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Wind Shard and 4 Ice Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 39 and Goldsmith to Lv 23 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

Both raw materials are gathered, and no spot for either is timed, so nothing in the tree waits on the Eorzean clock.

Of the intermediates, Silver Ingot has the widest use: 157 recipes call for it, spanning eight of the eight crafting classes.
