Sky Pirate's Jacket of Striking ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Sky Pirate's Jacket of Striking is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 8 intermediates — Grade 1 Strength Dissolvent ×2, Pterodactyl Leather ×2, Cloud Cloth ×1 and 5 others — which resolve to 15 distinct raw materials totalling 34 units, plus 27 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 23 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 6 Earth Cluster, 5 Lightning Crystal, 5 Wind Cluster and 4 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 60, Weaver to Lv 60, Blacksmith to Lv 54 and Alchemist to Lv 53 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

10 of the 15 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Cloud Cotton Boll (0:00, 4:00, 8:00, 12:00, 16:00, 20:00) and Volcanic Rock Salt (17:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 4 Eorzean hours, about 12 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Rainbow Thread has the widest use: 116 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
