High Durium Pistol

Taken all the way down to base materials, one High Durium Pistol is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Ametrine ×2, High Durium Nugget ×2, Crimson Firesand ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 37 units, plus 76 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,564 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,403 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 61 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 39 Wind Crystal, 24 Fire Crystal, 7 Earth Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 81, Goldsmith to Lv 81, Carpenter to Lv 78 and Alchemist to Lv 71 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 8 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, Lignum Vitae Lumber has the widest use: 134 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
