Hooded Fireglass Leather Vest ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Hooded Fireglass Leather Vest is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Pixie Cotton ×1, Stonegold Nugget ×1 and Pixie Floss ×5 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 16 units, plus 30 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,959 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 847 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 16 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 13 Wind Crystal, 10 Lightning Crystal and 7 Earth Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 80, Weaver to Lv 74 and Goldsmith to Lv 71 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 4 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Gold Ore (9:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Stonegold Nugget has the widest use: 90 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
