Steerhide Shoes ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Steerhide Shoes is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Atrociraptor Leather ×1, Pixie Floss ×1 and Stonegold Nugget ×1 — which resolve to 6 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 4,464 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 14 Earth Crystal, 13 Wind Crystal and 3 Lightning 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.

4 of the 6 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.
