High Durium Bayonet

Taken all the way down to base materials, one High Durium Bayonet is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — High Durium Ingot ×2, Pewter Ingot ×2, Chloroschist Whetstone ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 33 units, plus 63 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,907 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,266 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 48 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 32 Wind Crystal, 24 Fire Crystal and 7 Earth Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 82, Goldsmith to Lv 82 and Carpenter to Lv 81 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 6 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, Pewter Ingot has the widest use: 63 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
