Byakko Cub ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Byakko Cub is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Twinsilk ×1, Worsted Yarn ×1, Twinthread ×3 and 1 other — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 13 units, plus 23 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,426 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 799 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 9 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 14 Lightning Crystal, 7 Wind Crystal and 2 Water Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 70 and Alchemist to Lv 25 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 7 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 4 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

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