Stonegold Milpreves

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Stonegold Milpreves is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Deepgold Nugget ×2, Stonegold Nugget ×2, Hard Mudstone Whetstone ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 28 units, plus 45 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,936 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,645 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 11 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 34 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Wind Crystal and 21 Fire Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 71 and Blacksmith to Lv 71 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 6 raw materials are gathered, and one of them is time-gated: Gold Ore (9:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Oroshigane Ingot has the widest use: 114 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
