Astral Silk Dress Gloves of Casting ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Astral Silk Dress Gloves of Casting is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Astral Silk ×3, Chimerical Felt ×1, Grade 2 Intelligence Dissolvent ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 14 distinct raw materials totalling 37 units, plus 32 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,564 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,651 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 28 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 15 Lightning Crystal, 7 Lightning Cluster, 4 Water Cluster and 2 other kinds.

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

7 of the 14 raw materials come out of the ground, and 5 of them are time-gated: Chysahl Greens (0:00, 4:00, 8:00, 12:00, 16:00, 20:00), Astral Moraine (0:00, 12:00) and 3 others. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 4 Eorzean hours, about 12 real-world minutes.

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