Griffin Leather Thighboots of Aiming ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Griffin Leather Thighboots of Aiming is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Griffin Leather ×3, Chimerical Felt ×2, Grade 2 Dexterity Dissolvent ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 12 distinct raw materials totalling 32 units, plus 26 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,750 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,613 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 22 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Lightning Crystal, 4 Earth Cluster, 4 Water Shard and 3 other kinds.

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

6 of the 12 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Clary Sage (0:00, 20:00), Red Alumen (10:00, 22:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 8 Eorzean hours, about 23 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Chimerical Felt has the widest use: 113 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
