Chivalric Coat of Striking ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Chivalric Coat of Striking is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 7 intermediates — Amphiptere Leather ×3, Grade 1 Strength Dissolvent ×2, Star Ruby ×2 and 4 others — which resolve to 14 distinct raw materials totalling 43 units, plus 52 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,178 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,785 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 49 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 15 Earth Crystal, 13 Wind Crystal, 10 Wind Shard and 5 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 60, Goldsmith to Lv 58, Weaver to Lv 58 and Alchemist to Lv 53 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

8 of the 14 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Gold Ore (9:00) and Volcanic Rock Salt (17:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 16 Eorzean hours, about 47 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.
