Boltmaster's Top Boots ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Boltmaster's Top Boots is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Griffin Leather ×3 and Crawler Silk ×1 — which resolve to 10 distinct raw materials totalling 21 units, plus 13 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,152 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,103 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

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

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

4 of the 10 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Red Alumen (10:00, 22:00), Wattle Bark (2:00, 14:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 8 Eorzean hours, about 23 real-world minutes.

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