Armoire recipe - crazy requirements?

I've been looking at 4-star recipes to decide which Offhand/Master2 to go for first and the recipe for Armoire caught my eye.

It needs 5 Ebony Lumber. Each Ebony Lumber requires 9 Borax. Borax costs 270 Soldiery each. That's 2430 Soldiery per Ebony Lumber and a whopping total of 12150 Soldiery for a single Armoire - over 6 times the cap!

Is it really that insane? It there a better way to obtain Borax or Ebony Lumber from desynth or drops? Anyone any ideas?

No it's not insane. Consider actually going to Mor Donna and checking the vendors before complaining

There is absolutely nothing in my post that was a compliant, so thanks for the tone. I've taken the figures from xivdb.com. If you are suggesting there is an error in the database, could you please be more specific?

Edit: I'm assuming you actually get multiple Borax?

You get 9 per lot of borax iirc.

Thanks Tim, that makes far more sense.
