Ra'Kaznar Spriggan Frypan

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Ra'Kaznar Spriggan Frypan is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Ra'Kaznar Ingot ×3, Claro Walnut Lumber ×1 and Titanium Gold Nugget ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 29 units, plus 56 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,170 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,028 of the 1,441 Armorer ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 40 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 32 Fire Crystal, 8 Earth Crystal, 8 Ice Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Armorer to Lv 100, Blacksmith to Lv 98 and Carpenter to Lv 98 — 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, Ra'Kaznar Ingot has the widest use: 166 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
