True Linen Jacket of Aiming ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one True Linen Jacket of Aiming is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 8 intermediates — True Linen ×3, Grade 3 Reisui of Dexterity ×2, Triphane ×2 and 5 others — which resolve to 18 distinct raw materials totalling 53 units, plus 41 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,925 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,902 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 37 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 9 Wind Crystal, 8 Lightning Cluster, 8 Wind Cluster and 5 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Weaver to Lv 70, Alchemist to Lv 70, Goldsmith to Lv 70 and Leatherworker to Lv 66 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

12 of the 18 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.
