Tuliyollan Censer

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Tuliyollan Censer is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — White Gold Ingot ×1 — which resolves to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 14 units, plus 24 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,557 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 907 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

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

Every step is Goldsmith work, from a Lv 96 intermediate up to the Lv 100 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

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