Thavnairian Babouches ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Thavnairian Babouches is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Aurum Regis Nugget ×1, Crawler Silk ×1 and Rubber ×1 — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 16 units, plus 14 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,959 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 847 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 11 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 5 Lightning Crystal, 5 Wind Crystal, 2 Earth Cluster and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 60, Goldsmith to Lv 58, Weaver to Lv 57 and Alchemist to Lv 7 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 8 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, Rubber has the widest use: 191 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
