Carbonweave Sleeves of Crafting ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Carbonweave Sleeves of Crafting is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Sewing Thread ×2, Cloud Cloth ×1, Titanium Alloy Ingot ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 23 units, plus 44 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,647 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,141 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 40 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 16 Lightning Crystal, 14 Wind Crystal, 4 Fire Crystal and 4 other kinds.

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

8 of the 9 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Cloud Cotton Boll (0:00, 4:00, 8:00, 12:00, 16:00, 20:00) and Sphalerite (2:00, 6:00, 10:00, 14:00, 18:00, 22:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 2 Eorzean hours, about 6 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Titanium Nugget has the widest use: 112 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
