Chimerical Felt Cyclas of Striking

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Chimerical Felt Cyclas of Striking is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 7 intermediates — Chimerical Felt ×3, Grade 1 Strength Dissolvent ×2, Crawler Silk ×1 and 4 others — which resolve to 15 distinct raw materials totalling 52 units, plus 52 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,890 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,892 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 42 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 25 Lightning Crystal, 9 Fire Crystal, 8 Wind Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Weaver to Lv 59, Blacksmith to Lv 56, Alchemist to Lv 53 and Goldsmith to Lv 50 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

10 of the 15 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Gold Ore (9:00), Silkworm Cocoon (1:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 8 Eorzean hours, about 23 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Rose Gold Nugget has the widest use: 179 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
