Brass Wristlets of Crafting

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Brass Wristlets of Crafting is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Brass Ingot ×3 and Brass Rings ×2 — which resolve to 2 distinct raw materials 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 14 intermediate up to the Lv 16 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

Both raw materials are gathered, and no spot for either is timed, so nothing in the tree waits on the Eorzean clock.

Of the intermediates, Brass Ingot has the widest use: 94 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
