Ginseng Earring of Slaying

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Ginseng Earring of Slaying is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Ginseng Lumber ×2 and Snow Cotton Cloth ×1 — which resolve to 2 distinct raw materials totalling 15 units, plus 39 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,735 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 652 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 24 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Wind Crystal, 8 Lightning Crystal and 7 Ice Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 91 and Weaver to Lv 91 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

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, Snow Cotton Cloth has the widest use: 83 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
