Classic Umbrella Stand

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Classic Umbrella Stand is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Ironwood Lumber ×5, Chondrite Ingot ×4, AR-Caean Velvet ×3 and 1 other — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 68 units, plus 126 crystals.

That bill outweighs 13,264 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,862 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 110 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 40 Fire Crystal, 40 Wind Crystal, 24 Lightning Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 90, Weaver to Lv 88, Carpenter to Lv 86 and Alchemist to Lv 76 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 6 raw materials are gathered, and one of them is time-gated: Ala Mhigan Salt Crystal (0:00, 12:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

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