Cobalt Tungsten Axe

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Cobalt Tungsten Axe is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Cobalt Tungsten Ingot ×3, Ceiba Lumber ×1, Pink Beryl ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 34 units, plus 71 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,052 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,301 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 56 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 32 Fire Crystal, 32 Wind Crystal and 7 Earth Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 94, Goldsmith to Lv 94 and Carpenter to Lv 92 — 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, Cobalt Tungsten Ingot has the widest use: 105 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
