Wyvernskin Culottes

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Wyvernskin Culottes is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Wyvern Leather ×3, Holy Rainbow Cloth ×1, Holy Water ×2 and 3 others — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totaling 28 units, plus 27 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,936 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,414 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 1 recipe nests deeper.

Only 7 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 20 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 13 Earth Crystal, 7 Lightning Crystal, 3 Water Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 54, Alchemist to Lv 52 and Weaver to Lv 52 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 7 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Coerthan Tea Leaves (10:00, 22:00) and Dravanian Mistletoe (0:00, 12:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 10 Eorzean hours, about 29 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Rainbow Thread has the widest use: 116 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
