Titanium Gold Falchion

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Titanium Gold Falchion is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Cobalt Tungsten Ingot ×1, Magnesia Whetstone ×1, Titanium Gold Nugget ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 22 units, plus 48 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,402 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 917 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 32 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Fire Crystal, 8 Earth Crystal, 8 Water Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 96, Goldsmith to Lv 96 and Alchemist to Lv 95 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 7 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, White Gold Ingot has the widest use: 121 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
