Stuffed Bear ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Stuffed Bear is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Chimerical Felt ×3, Rainbow Thread ×2, Cloud Cloth ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 12 distinct raw materials totalling 41 units, plus 30 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,923 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,732 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 27 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 18 Lightning Crystal, 6 Water Shard, 4 Lightning Cluster and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 60 and Alchemist to Lv 25 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

7 of the 12 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, Rainbow Thread has the widest use: 116 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
