Griffin Leather Cuffs ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Griffin Leather Cuffs is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Griffin Leather ×2, Aurum Regis Nugget ×1, Chimerical Felt ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 10 distinct raw materials totalling 23 units, plus 20 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,647 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,208 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 16 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 5 Lightning Crystal, 5 Wind Crystal, 4 Earth Cluster and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 60, Goldsmith to Lv 58, Weaver to Lv 58 and Alchemist to Lv 25 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 10 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Red Alumen (10:00, 22:00), Wattle Bark (2:00, 14:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 8 Eorzean hours, about 23 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Aurum Regis Nugget has the widest use: 185 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
