Indagator's Trousers of Crafting ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Indagator's Trousers of Crafting is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Bayberry Cloth ×4, Craftsman's Alkahest ×4 and Titanoboa Leather ×3 — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 77 units, plus 76 crystals.

That bill outweighs 13,389 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,948 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 66 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 29 Lightning Cluster, 26 Wind Cluster, 12 Water Cluster and 1 other kind.

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

3 of the 8 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Bayberry (4:00, 16:00), Haritaki (0:00, 12:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 8 Eorzean hours, about 23 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Bayberry Cloth has the widest use: 60 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
