Sky Pirate's Gloves of Scouting ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Sky Pirate's Gloves of Scouting is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Pterodactyl Leather ×2, Crawler Silk ×1, Grade 1 Dexterity Dissolvent ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 12 distinct raw materials totalling 25 units, plus 23 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,313 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,283 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 19 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 6 Earth Cluster, 5 Lightning Crystal, 4 Fire Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 60, Weaver to Lv 57, Blacksmith to Lv 54 and Alchemist to Lv 53 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

8 of the 12 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Silkworm Cocoon (1:00) and Volcanic Rock Salt (17:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 16 Eorzean hours, about 47 real-world minutes.

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