Kweh-kweh Clock

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Kweh-kweh Clock is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Integral Lumber ×4, Blue Zircon ×2, Ironwood Lumber ×2 and 2 others — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 56 units, plus 112 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,997 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,392 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 96 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 104 Wind Crystal and 8 Ice Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 90 and Goldsmith to Lv 86 — 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, Integral Lumber has the widest use: 114 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
