Linen Parasol

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Linen Parasol is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Linen Canvas ×4, Mythril Ingot ×2, Silver Ingot ×2 and 3 others — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 36 units, plus 51 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,383 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,629 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 42 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 31 Lightning Shard, 8 Fire Shard, 8 Wind Shard and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Weaver to Lv 39, Blacksmith to Lv 38, Goldsmith to Lv 23 and Alchemist to Lv 10 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 5 raw materials are gathered, and not one of their spots is timed, so nothing in the tree waits on the Eorzean clock.

Of the intermediates, Silver Ingot has the widest use: 157 recipes call for it, spanning eight of the eight crafting classes.
