Silk Thread ★

Nothing in this list is craftable in turn, so a batch of 2 Silk Thread is a single step: 3 units of material drawn from 2 base items, plus 3 crystals.

That bill outweighs 3,373 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 417 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 9,374 recipes nest deeper.

Both raw materials are gathered, and one of them is time-gated: Silkworm Cocoon (1:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Silk Thread is itself consumed by 175 further recipes, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
