Indigo Ramie Sarouel of Scouting ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Indigo Ramie Sarouel of Scouting is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Rhea Cloth ×3, Grade 2 Reisui of Dexterity ×2, Palladium Nugget ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 15 distinct raw materials totalling 47 units, plus 32 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,643 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,855 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 28 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Lightning Cluster, 10 Wind Cluster, 5 Wind Crystal and 3 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Weaver to Lv 70, Alchemist to Lv 70, Leatherworker to Lv 70 and Goldsmith to Lv 68 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

10 of the 15 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Chromite Ore (10:00, 22:00), Hallowed Basil (6:00, 18:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Palladium Nugget has the widest use: 129 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
