High House Cloche ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one High House Cloche is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Crawler Silk ×1 — which resolves to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 9 units, plus 8 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,492 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 665 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 5 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 5 Lightning Crystal, 2 Earth Cluster and 1 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 6 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Silkworm Cocoon (1:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

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