Hammermaster's Work Gloves ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Hammermaster's Work Gloves is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Griffin Leather ×3, Archaeornis Leather ×1, Crawler Silk ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 14 distinct raw materials totalling 34 units, plus 25 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,052 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,651 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 21 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 9 Wind Crystal, 5 Lightning Crystal, 4 Earth Cluster and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 60, Weaver to Lv 57 and Goldsmith to Lv 56 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

8 of the 14 raw materials come out of the ground, and 4 of them are time-gated: Coerthan Tea Leaves (0:00, 8:00, 10:00, 12:00, 20:00, 22:00), Red Alumen (10:00, 22:00) and 2 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.
