Copper Wristlets

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Copper Wristlets is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Copper Ingot ×3 and Copper Rings ×2 — which resolve to 1 distinct raw material totalling 9 units, plus 7 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,492 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 764 of the 2,216 Goldsmith ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 2 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 5 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 6 Wind Shard and 1 Fire Shard.

Every step is Goldsmith work, from a Lv 1 intermediate up to the Lv 5 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

Its single raw material is gathered, and no spot for it is timed, so nothing in the tree waits on the Eorzean clock.

Of the intermediates, Copper Ingot has the widest use: 21 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
