Dodore Boots ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Dodore Boots is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Dodore Leather ×2 and Rose Gold Nugget ×1 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 8 units, plus 10 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,254 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 636 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 5 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 5 Earth Crystal and 5 Wind Crystal.

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

3 of the 4 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Gold Ore (9:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 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.
