High House Breeches ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one High House Breeches is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Chimerical Felt ×1, Crawler Silk ×1, Rose Gold Ingot ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 10 distinct raw materials totalling 32 units, plus 22 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,750 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,516 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 19 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Lightning Crystal, 6 Wind Crystal, 2 Lightning Cluster and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Weaver to Lv 60, Goldsmith to Lv 50 and Alchemist to Lv 25 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 10 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Gold Ore (9:00) and Silkworm Cocoon (1:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 16 Eorzean hours, about 47 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Rose Gold Nugget has the widest use: 179 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
