Serpentskin Dress Gloves of Casting

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Serpentskin Dress Gloves of Casting is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Amphiptere Leather ×2, Crawler Silk ×1, Grade 1 Intelligence Dissolvent ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 22 units, plus 34 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,402 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,157 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 24 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 15 Earth Crystal, 5 Lightning Crystal, 5 Wind Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 58, Weaver to Lv 57, Alchemist to Lv 54 and Goldsmith to Lv 40 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 9 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Silkworm Cocoon (1:00) and Volcanic Rock Salt (17:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 16 Eorzean hours, about 47 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Crawler Silk has the widest use: 178 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
