Dark Mahogany Spear

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Dark Mahogany Spear is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Dark Mahogany Lumber ×3, Pink Beryl ×1, Ruthenium Ingot ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 32 units, plus 71 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,750 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,100 of the 1,552 Carpenter 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 56 Wind Crystal, 8 Fire Crystal and 7 Ice Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 95, Goldsmith to Lv 94 and Blacksmith 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, Annite Whetstone has the widest use: 96 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
