Ala Mhigan Bottoms of Crafting ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Ala Mhigan Bottoms of Crafting is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Ala Mhigan Burdet ×2, Gazelle Leather ×2, Rhea Cloth ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 12 distinct raw materials totalling 43 units, plus 34 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,178 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,772 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 30 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Earth Crystal, 8 Lightning Cluster, 5 Water Crystal and 3 other kinds.

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

8 of the 12 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Azim Cotton Boll (0:00, 12:00), Gyr Abanian Spring Water (10:00, 22:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 10 Eorzean hours, about 29 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Twinthread has the widest use: 109 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
