Eikon Cloth Culottes of Scouting ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Eikon Cloth Culottes of Scouting is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Eikon Cloth ×3, Grade 1 Dexterity Dissolvent ×3, Aurum Regis Nugget ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 14 distinct raw materials totalling 48 units, plus 43 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,691 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,860 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 38 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 14 Lightning Cluster, 10 Wind Cluster, 5 Lightning Crystal and 4 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Weaver to Lv 60, Alchemist to Lv 60, Leatherworker to Lv 60 and Goldsmith to Lv 58 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

10 of the 14 raw materials come out of the ground, and 5 of them are time-gated: Frost Cotton Boll (6:00, 18:00), Wattle Bark (2:00, 14:00) and 3 others. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 7 Eorzean hours, about 20 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Aurum Regis Nugget has the widest use: 185 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
