Astral Silk Slops of Aiming ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Astral Silk Slops of Aiming is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Astral Silk ×3, Grade 2 Dexterity Dissolvent ×2, Griffin Leather ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 15 distinct raw materials totalling 39 units, plus 29 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,756 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,689 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 25 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Lightning Crystal, 7 Lightning Cluster, 6 Wind Cluster and 2 other kinds.

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

8 of the 15 raw materials come out of the ground, and 6 of them are time-gated: Astral Moraine (0:00, 12:00), Clary Sage (0:00, 20:00) and 4 others. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 real-world minutes.

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