Natural Wooden Beam

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Natural Wooden Beam is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Integral Lumber ×5 and Red Pine Lumber ×4 — which resolve to 2 distinct raw materials totalling 45 units, plus 88 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,451 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,317 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 72 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 80 Wind Crystal and 8 Ice Crystal.

Every step is Carpenter work, from a Lv 84 intermediate up to the Lv 90 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

Both raw materials are gathered, and no spot for either 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.
