Fat Cat Wall Chronometer

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Fat Cat Wall Chronometer is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Lignum Vitae Lumber ×4, Ovim Wool ×2, Stonegold Ingot ×2 and 2 others — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 44 units, plus 92 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,337 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,302 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 1 recipe nests deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 78 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 47 Wind Crystal, 21 Water Crystal, 17 Lightning Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 80, Alchemist to Lv 76, Weaver to Lv 76 and Goldsmith to Lv 72 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 6 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Ala Mhigan Salt Crystal (0:00, 12:00) and Gold Ore (9:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Lignum Vitae Lumber has the widest use: 134 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
