Phrygian Rod

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Phrygian Rod is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Phrygian Gold Ingot ×3, Luncheon Toad Leather ×1, Red Pine Lumber ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 32 units, plus 62 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,750 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,738 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 47 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 40 Wind Crystal, 8 Earth Crystal, 7 Fire Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 84, Carpenter to Lv 84, Leatherworker to Lv 82 and Alchemist to Lv 75 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 7 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 3 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Luncheon Toad Leather has the widest use: 88 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
