Cropped Summer Indigo Slops ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Cropped Summer Indigo Slops is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Ovim Wool Yarn ×1, Smilodon Leather ×1 and Refined Natron ×1 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 13 units, plus 30 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,426 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 799 of the 1,968 Weaver 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 10 Lightning Crystal, 7 Water Crystal, 7 Wind Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Weaver to Lv 80, Alchemist to Lv 76 and Leatherworker to Lv 71 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 6 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Ala Mhigan Salt Crystal (0:00, 12:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Smilodon Leather has the widest use: 49 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
