Punching Gloves ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Punching Gloves is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Hippogryph Leather ×1, Rose Gold Nugget ×1 and Silk Thread ×1 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 9 units, plus 22 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,492 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 665 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 13 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 9 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 7 Earth Shard, 6 Wind Shard, 3 Earth Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 50, Goldsmith to Lv 50 and Weaver to Lv 50 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 6 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Gold Ore (9:00) and Silkworm Cocoon (1:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 16 Eorzean hours, about 47 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.
