True Linen Coat of Striking ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one True Linen Coat of Striking is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 7 intermediates — Azurite ×2, Grade 3 Reisui of Strength ×2, Ground Sloth Leather ×2 and 4 others — which resolve to 16 distinct raw materials totalling 42 units, plus 37 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,044 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,757 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 33 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 19 Wind Crystal, 6 Lightning Cluster, 6 Wind Cluster 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 66 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

10 of the 16 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Gyr Abanian Spring Water (10:00, 22:00), Hingan Flax (2:00, 14:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Durium Nugget has the widest use: 142 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
