Weaver's Trousers ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Weaver's Trousers is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Rose Gold Nugget ×1, Silk Thread ×1, Undyed Woolen Cloth ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 9 units, plus 16 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,492 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 664 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 11 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 6 Lightning Crystal, 5 Lightning Shard and 5 Wind Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 50 and Goldsmith to Lv 50 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 5 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Gold Ore (9:00) and Silkworm Cocoon (1:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 16 Eorzean hours, about 47 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.
