Eikon Cloth Hat of Scouting ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Eikon Cloth Hat of Scouting is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Eikon Cloth ×2, Grade 1 Dexterity Dissolvent ×2, Crawler Silk ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 13 distinct raw materials totalling 37 units, plus 33 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,564 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,651 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 28 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 11 Lightning Cluster, 8 Wind Cluster, 5 Lightning Crystal and 3 other kinds.

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

9 of the 13 raw materials come out of the ground, and 4 of them are time-gated: Frost Cotton Boll (6:00, 18:00), Wattle Bark (2:00, 14:00) and 2 others. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 8 Eorzean hours, about 23 real-world minutes.

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