Facet Boots of Casting ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Facet Boots of Casting is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Chalicotherium Leather ×2, Grade 2 Intelligence Alkahest ×2, Sandalwood Lumber ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 29 units, plus 26 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,170 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,478 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 22 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 8 Wind Cluster, 6 Earth Cluster, 6 Wind Crystal and 3 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 80, Alchemist to Lv 80, Carpenter to Lv 80 and Goldsmith to Lv 71 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 9 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Sandalwood Log (2:00, 14:00) and Gold Ore (9:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

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