Griffin Leather Boots of Casting ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Griffin Leather Boots of Casting is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 8 intermediates — Griffin Leather ×2, Astral Birch Lumber ×1, Chimerical Felt ×1 and 5 others — which resolve to 19 distinct raw materials totalling 50 units, plus 41 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,777 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,823 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 37 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Lightning Crystal, 10 Wind Crystal, 6 Wind Cluster and 5 other kinds.

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

10 of the 19 raw materials come out of the ground, and 7 of them are time-gated: Chysahl Greens (0:00, 4:00, 8:00, 12:00, 16:00, 20:00), Astral Moraine (0:00, 12:00) and 5 others. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 4 Eorzean hours, about 12 real-world minutes.

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