Hamlet Puller's Hat ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Hamlet Puller's Hat is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Hippogryph Leather ×1, Rose Gold Nugget ×1, Sinking Minnow ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 13 units, plus 23 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,426 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 788 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 18 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 9 Wind Shard, 6 Earth Crystal, 5 Wind Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 50, Goldsmith to Lv 50 and Carpenter to Lv 32 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 7 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Gold Ore (9:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Rose Gold Nugget has the widest use: 179 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
