Archaeoskin Boots of Scouting

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Archaeoskin Boots of Scouting is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Archaeornis Leather ×2, Rainbow Cloth ×1, Rubber ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 21 units, plus 17 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,152 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,103 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 12 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 9 Earth Crystal, 4 Lightning Crystal, 2 Wind Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 51, Weaver to Lv 51 and Alchemist to Lv 7 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 6 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, Rubber has the widest use: 191 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
