Dinosaur Leather Shoes ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Dinosaur Leather Shoes is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Cloud Cloth ×1, Rubber ×1 and Ramie Thread ×3 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 16 units, plus 11 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,959 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 847 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 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 4 Lightning Crystal, 2 Earth Cluster, 2 Lightning Cluster and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 60, Weaver to Lv 60 and Alchemist to Lv 7 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 6 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Cloud Cotton Boll (0:00, 4:00, 8:00, 12:00, 16:00, 20:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 4 Eorzean hours, about 12 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Rubber has the widest use: 191 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
