Shirogane Pinwheel

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Shirogane Pinwheel is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Phrygian Gold Ingot ×3 — which resolves to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 19 units, plus 40 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,589 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,074 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 24 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 32 Wind Crystal and 8 Fire Crystal.

Every step is Goldsmith work, from a Lv 84 intermediate up to the Lv 86 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

2 of the 3 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 1 comes from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Phrygian Gold Ingot has the widest use: 82 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
