Rakshasa Haori of Striking ★★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rakshasa Haori of Striking is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Grade 4 Reisui of Strength ×2, Stardust Cotton Cloth ×2, Chigusa Ingot ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 13 distinct raw materials totalling 37 units, plus 33 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,564 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,651 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 1 recipe nests deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 29 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 13 Fire Crystal, 6 Lightning Cluster, 6 Wind Cluster and 3 other kinds.

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

7 of the 13 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Azim Spring Water (8:00, 20:00), Gyr Abanian Ore (0:00, 12:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Oroshigane Ingot has the widest use: 114 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
