Rainbow Bolero of Striking

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rainbow Bolero of Striking is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Rainbow Cloth ×3, Archaeornis Leather ×1, Electrum Ingot ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 33 units, plus 30 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,907 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,541 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 25 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 13 Lightning Crystal, 10 Wind Shard, 3 Earth Crystal and 2 other kinds.

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

5 of the 7 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.
