New World Armlets ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one New World Armlets is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Saurian Leather ×1 and Woolen Yarn ×1 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 5 units, plus 8 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,201 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 489 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 5 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 4 Earth Cluster, 2 Lightning Shard and 2 Wind Cluster.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 50 and Weaver to Lv 38 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

1 of the 4 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Shroud Tea Leaves (2:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Woolen Yarn has the widest use: 131 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
