Archaeoskin Gloves of Striking

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Archaeoskin Gloves of Striking is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Archaeornis Leather ×2, Jadeite ×2 and Mythrite Nugget ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 16 units, plus 24 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,959 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 847 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 19 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Wind Shard, 9 Earth Crystal, 3 Fire Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 51, Blacksmith to Lv 51 and Goldsmith to Lv 40 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 5 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Coerthan Tea Leaves (0:00, 8:00, 10:00, 12:00, 20:00, 22:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 8 Eorzean hours, about 23 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Mythrite Nugget has the widest use: 102 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
