Griffin Leather Choker ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Griffin Leather Choker is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Aurum Regis Ingot ×1, Crawler Silk ×1, Griffin Leather ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 14 distinct raw materials totalling 32 units, plus 22 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 18 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 6 Wind Cluster, 5 Lightning Crystal, 5 Wind Crystal and 2 other kinds.

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.

8 of the 14 raw materials come out of the ground, and 6 of them are time-gated: Aurum Regis Ore (2:00, 14:00), Red Alumen (10:00, 22:00) and 4 others. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 8 Eorzean hours, about 23 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.
