Company Tabard

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Company Tabard is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Ramie Cloth ×2, Rose Gold Nugget ×1, Ramie Thread ×5 and 1 other — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 24 units, plus 17 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,926 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,178 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 2 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 15 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Lightning Crystal, 3 Wind Crystal, 2 Lightning Shard and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 55 and Goldsmith to Lv 50 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 5 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Gold Ore (9:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Rose Gold Nugget has the widest use: 179 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
