Thavnairian Bolero ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Thavnairian Bolero is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Chrysolite ×2, Aurum Regis Nugget ×1, Crawler Silk ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 10 distinct raw materials totalling 29 units, plus 35 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,170 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,478 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 32 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 27 Wind Crystal, 5 Lightning Crystal, 2 Earth Cluster and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 60, Goldsmith to Lv 60 and Weaver to Lv 57 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 10 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, Aurum Regis Nugget has the widest use: 185 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
