Griffin Leather Ring ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Griffin Leather Ring is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Aurum Regis Nugget ×1 and Griffin Leather ×1 — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 17 units, plus 13 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,161 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 892 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 9 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 5 Wind Crystal, 4 Earth Cluster and 4 Wind Cluster.

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

4 of the 8 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.
