True Linen Cap of Aiming ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one True Linen Cap of Aiming is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — True Linen ×2, Grade 3 Reisui of Dexterity ×1, Silvergrace Ingot ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 15 distinct raw materials totalling 33 units, plus 24 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,907 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,541 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 20 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 6 Lightning Cluster, 6 Wind Cluster, 6 Wind Crystal and 3 other kinds.

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

10 of the 15 raw materials come out of the ground, and 4 of them are time-gated: Gyr Abanian Spring Water (10:00, 22:00), Hingan Flax (2:00, 14:00) and 2 others. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Koppranickel Nugget has the widest use: 124 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
