Archaeoskin Shoes of Casting

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Archaeoskin Shoes of Casting is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Archaeornis Leather ×2, Electrum Ingot ×1, Rainbow Thread ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 18 units, plus 18 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,380 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 928 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 13 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 9 Earth Crystal, 5 Wind Shard, 2 Wind Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 51, Weaver to Lv 51, Goldsmith to Lv 42 and Alchemist to Lv 7 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 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, Electrum Ingot has the widest use: 234 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
