Silver Wristlets

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Silver Wristlets is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Silver Ingot ×3 and Silver Rings ×2 — which resolve to 1 distinct raw material totalling 9 units, plus 14 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 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 10 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 12 Wind Shard and 2 Fire Shard.

Every step is Goldsmith work, from a Lv 23 intermediate up to the Lv 25 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, Silver Ingot has the widest use: 157 recipes call for it, spanning eight of the eight crafting classes.
