Millmaster's Slops ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Millmaster's Slops is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Astral Silk ×3, Aurum Regis Nugget ×1, Griffin Leather ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 15 distinct raw materials totalling 44 units, plus 30 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,337 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,802 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 26 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Lightning Crystal, 6 Wind Cluster, 5 Lightning Cluster and 3 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Weaver to Lv 60, Alchemist to Lv 60, Leatherworker to Lv 60 and Goldsmith to Lv 58 — 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), Red Alumen (10:00, 22:00) and 4 others. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 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.
