High Durium Gauntlets of Maiming

Taken all the way down to base materials, one High Durium Gauntlets of Maiming is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — High Durium Ingot ×2, High Durium Nugget ×1 and Pewter Ingot ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 24 units, plus 47 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,926 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 881 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 32 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Fire Crystal, 8 Ice Crystal, 8 Wind Crystal and 1 other kind.

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

All 5 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, High Durium Nugget has the widest use: 87 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
