Pactmaker's Ushanka of Gathering ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Pactmaker's Ushanka of Gathering is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Hannish Fiber ×3, Golden Silk ×2 and AR-Caean Velvet ×1 — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 37 units, plus 44 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,564 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,651 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 38 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 18 Lightning Cluster, 9 Water Cluster, 9 Wind Cluster and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 90 and Alchemist to Lv 90 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 7 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Golden Cocoon (8:00, 20:00) and Thavnairian Corn (8:00, 20:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, AR-Caean Velvet has the widest use: 136 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
