Griffin Leather Tricorne of Striking ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Griffin Leather Tricorne of Striking is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Griffin Leather ×3, Crawler Silk ×2 and Grade 2 Strength Dissolvent ×1 — which resolve to 11 distinct raw materials totalling 22 units, plus 17 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,402 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,157 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 13 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 5 Lightning Crystal, 4 Earth Cluster, 4 Wind Cluster and 2 other kinds.

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

6 of the 11 raw materials come out of the ground, and 5 of them are time-gated: Clary Sage (0:00, 20:00), Morel (4:00, 16:00) and 3 others. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Crawler Silk has the widest use: 178 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
