Chimerical Felt Breeches of Casting

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Chimerical Felt Breeches of Casting is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Chimerical Felt ×3, Grade 1 Intelligence Dissolvent ×2, Crawler Silk ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 13 distinct raw materials totalling 45 units, plus 48 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,451 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,822 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 38 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 25 Lightning Crystal, 8 Wind Crystal, 6 Water Shard and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Weaver to Lv 59, Leatherworker to Lv 56, Alchemist to Lv 54 and Goldsmith to Lv 50 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

8 of the 13 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.
