Southern Seas Shirt ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Southern Seas Shirt is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Duskcourt Cloth ×2 and Megalania Leather ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 21 units, plus 26 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,152 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,065 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 12 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 7 Lightning Crystal, 7 Wind Crystal, 6 Wind Cluster and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 80 and Leatherworker to Lv 80 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

2 of the 5 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Ashen Alumen (10:00, 22:00) and Duskblooms (4:00, 16:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Megalania Leather has the widest use: 50 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
