Perfect Cloth ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Perfect Cloth is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Linen Yarn ×1 — which resolves to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 6 units, plus 5 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,542 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 495 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 2 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 2 Lightning Cluster, 2 Lightning Shard and 1 Wind Cluster.

Every step is Weaver work, from a Lv 32 intermediate up to the Lv 50 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

3 of the 4 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Pumice (1:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Linen Yarn has the widest use: 74 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
