Manor Flooring ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Manor Flooring is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Spruce Lumber ×4, Undyed Woolen Cloth ×4 and Woolen Yarn ×11 — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 26 units, plus 38 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,543 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 976 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 2 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 36 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Lightning Shard, 12 Wind Crystal, 1 Ice Cluster and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 50 and Weaver to Lv 39 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

1 of the 3 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Spruce Log (9:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Undyed Woolen Cloth has the widest use: 154 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
