Chimerical Felt Robe of Casting

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Chimerical Felt Robe of Casting is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 9 intermediates — Chimerical Felt ×3, Grade 1 Intelligence Dissolvent ×2, Crawler Silk ×1 and 6 others — which resolve to 13 distinct raw materials totalling 53 units, plus 58 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,925 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,902 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 1 recipe nests deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 48 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 36 Lightning Crystal, 9 Water Crystal, 6 Water Shard and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 59 and Alchemist to Lv 56 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

9 of the 13 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Abalathian Mistletoe (6:00, 18:00), Silkworm Cocoon (1:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 11 Eorzean hours, about 32 real-world minutes.

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