Boulevardier's Ruffled Shirt ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Boulevardier's Ruffled Shirt is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — True Linen ×2, Palladium Nugget ×1, Twinsilk ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 23 units, plus 20 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,647 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,141 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 16 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 7 Lightning Crystal, 5 Wind Crystal, 4 Lightning Cluster and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 70 and Goldsmith to Lv 68 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 7 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Hingan Flax (2:00, 14:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Palladium Nugget has the widest use: 129 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
