New World Moccasins ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one New World Moccasins is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Rubber ×1, Saurian Leather ×1 and Woolen Yarn ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 6 units, plus 9 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,542 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 537 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 6 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 4 Earth Cluster, 2 Lightning Shard, 2 Wind Cluster and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 50, Weaver to Lv 38 and Alchemist to Lv 7 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

2 of the 5 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, Rubber has the widest use: 191 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
