Titanium Gold Battleaxe

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Titanium Gold Battleaxe is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Titanium Gold Nugget ×2, White Gold Ingot ×2, Dark Mahogany Lumber ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 33 units, plus 64 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,907 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,266 of the 1,932 Blacksmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 48 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Fire Crystal, 24 Wind Crystal, 8 Earth Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Blacksmith to Lv 96, Goldsmith to Lv 96, Alchemist to Lv 95 and Carpenter to Lv 94 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 6 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.
