Swinging-door Counter

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Swinging-door Counter is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Integral Lumber ×6 and Chloroschist Whetstone ×2 — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 46 units, plus 128 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,540 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 2,009 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 64 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 64 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 96 Wind Crystal and 32 Fire Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Goldsmith to Lv 90 and Carpenter to Lv 88 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 3 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.
