Chimerical Felt Skirt

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Chimerical Felt Skirt is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 8 intermediates — Chimerical Felt ×3, Crawler Silk ×1, Hallowed Ramie Cloth ×1 and 5 others — which resolve to 10 distinct raw materials totalling 41 units, plus 45 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,923 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,732 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 1 recipe nests deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 42 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 29 Lightning Crystal, 6 Water Shard, 5 Water Crystal and 3 other kinds.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 60 and Alchemist to Lv 56 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

7 of the 10 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Abalathian Mistletoe (6:00, 18:00) and Silkworm Cocoon (1:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

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