Hemiskin Leggings of Striking ★★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Hemiskin Leggings of Striking is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Grade 3 Strength Dissolvent ×2, Hemicyon Leather ×2, Saurian Leather ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 16 distinct raw materials totalling 37 units, plus 44 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,564 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,713 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 38 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 13 Wind Cluster, 12 Earth Cluster, 10 Lightning Cluster and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 60, Alchemist to Lv 60, Weaver to Lv 60 and Armorer to Lv 50 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

8 of the 16 raw materials come out of the ground, and 6 of them are time-gated: Morel (4:00, 16:00), Star Cotton Boll (4:00, 16:00) and 4 others. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Saurian Leather has the widest use: 48 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
