Cathedral Lectern

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Cathedral Lectern is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Chondrite Ingot ×6, Manganese Ingot ×4 and Cedar Lumber ×3 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 75 units, plus 105 crystals.

That bill outweighs 13,370 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,415 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 89 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 80 Fire Crystal, 9 Wind Crystal, 8 Earth Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Armorer to Lv 90, Blacksmith to Lv 88 and Carpenter to Lv 51 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 5 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, Chondrite Ingot has the widest use: 210 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
