Vanya Robe of Casting ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Vanya Robe of Casting is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Rose Gold Nugget ×1, Silver Ingot ×1, Vanya Silk Robe Lining ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 25 units, plus 19 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,313 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,219 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 1 recipe nests deeper.

Only 2 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 17 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 9 Lightning Crystal, 3 Lightning Cluster, 3 Wind Crystal and 2 other kinds.

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

5 of the 6 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.
