Sky Pirate's Gloves of Casting ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Sky Pirate's Gloves of Casting is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Pterodactyl Leather ×2, Crawler Silk ×1, Grade 1 Intelligence Dissolvent ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 11 distinct raw materials totalling 24 units, plus 23 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,926 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,247 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 Water Crystal and 2 other kinds.

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

7 of the 11 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.
