Sailor Shirt ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Sailor Shirt is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Boar Leather ×1, Silk Thread ×1, Undyed Velveteen ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 11 units, plus 15 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,999 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 737 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 10 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 6 Lightning Crystal, 4 Earth Shard, 3 Lightning Shard and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 50 and Leatherworker to Lv 33 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 7 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Silkworm Cocoon (1:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Silk Thread has the widest use: 175 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
