Clothcraft Loom ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Clothcraft Loom is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Mahogany Lumber ×4, Cobalt Ingot ×2, Spruce Lumber ×2 and 3 others — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 31 units, plus 52 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,578 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,086 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 49 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 20 Wind Shard, 10 Fire Shard, 10 Lightning Shard and 3 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 50, Blacksmith to Lv 42 and Weaver to Lv 39 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 8 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Scarlet Sap (3:00) and Spruce Log (9:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 18 Eorzean hours, about 53 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Undyed Woolen Cloth has the widest use: 154 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
