Griffin Leather Wristbands ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Griffin Leather Wristbands is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Griffin Leather ×2, Star Sapphire ×2, Aurum Regis Nugget ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 10 distinct raw materials totalling 26 units, plus 31 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,543 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,336 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 27 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 13 Wind Crystal, 10 Wind Shard, 4 Earth Cluster and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 60 and Goldsmith to Lv 58 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 10 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Red Alumen (10:00, 22:00), Wattle Bark (2:00, 14:00) and 1 other. 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.
