Moonfire Caligae ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Moonfire Caligae is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Hippogryph Leather ×1 — which resolves to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 3 units, plus 8 crystals.

That bill outweighs 3,373 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 426 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 3 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 6 Earth Crystal and 2 Wind Crystal.

Every step is Leatherworker work, from a Lv 50 intermediate up to the Lv 50 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

1 of the 3 raw materials matches a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 2 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Hippogryph Leather has the widest use: 131 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
