Rarefied AR-Caean Velvet Work Cap

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rarefied AR-Caean Velvet Work Cap is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — AR-Caean Velvet ×2, Ophiotauros Leather ×1, Star Quartz ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 22 units, plus 56 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,402 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,106 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 40 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Lightning Crystal, 24 Wind Crystal and 8 Earth Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Weaver to Lv 90, Goldsmith to Lv 88 and Leatherworker to Lv 88 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 5 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 1 comes from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Star Quartz has the widest use: 157 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
