Wind Silk Bottoms ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Wind Silk Bottoms is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Crawler Silk ×2 and Pterodactyl Leather ×1 — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 13 units, plus 11 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,426 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 799 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 8 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 5 Lightning Crystal, 2 Earth Cluster, 2 Lightning Cluster and 1 other kind.

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

3 of the 7 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Silkworm Cocoon (1:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

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