Augmented Saurian Shirt of Striking ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Augmented Saurian Shirt of Striking is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 8 intermediates — Saurian Shirt of Striking ×1, Saurian Leather ×4, Terminus Putty ×2 and 5 others — which resolve to 15 distinct raw materials totalling 37 units, plus 37 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,564 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,713 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 1 recipe nests deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 34 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 12 Earth Cluster, 6 Wind Cluster, 5 Lightning Shard and 6 other kinds.

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

7 of the 15 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Gold Ore (9:00), Shroud Tea Leaves (2:00) and 1 other. 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.
