Pub Signboard

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Pub Signboard is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Dwarven Mythril Ingot ×4, Lignum Vitae Lumber ×2 and Standard Spectrum Dye ×2 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 30 units, plus 60 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,368 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,196 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 46 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 35 Fire Crystal, 16 Wind Crystal, 7 Earth Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 80 and Carpenter to Lv 78 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 4 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, Dwarven Mythril Ingot has the widest use: 168 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
