Wyvernskin Gloves of Striking

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Wyvernskin Gloves of Striking is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Mythrite Ingot ×2, Rose Gold Nugget ×2, Wyvern Leather ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 32 units, plus 27 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,750 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,613 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 21 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 12 Fire Crystal, 9 Wind Crystal and 6 Earth Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 52, Blacksmith to Lv 52 and Goldsmith to Lv 50 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 7 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Coerthan Tea Leaves (0:00, 8:00, 10:00, 12:00, 20:00, 22:00) and Gold Ore (9:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 8 Eorzean hours, about 23 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.
