Replica Dreadwyrm Gloves of Casting ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Replica Dreadwyrm Gloves of Casting is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Gold Ingot ×2, Kirimu Leather ×2 and Platinum Ingot ×2 — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 37 units, plus 26 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,564 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,713 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 22 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 14 Wind Cluster, 6 Earth Cluster and 6 Fire Cluster.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 60 and Goldsmith to Lv 50 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 9 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Gold Ore (9:00), Native Gold (4:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 19 Eorzean hours, about 55 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Gold Ingot has the widest use: 184 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
