Archeo Kingdom Hood of Striking ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Archeo Kingdom Hood of Striking is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Grade 2 Gemsap of Strength ×2, Ipe Lumber ×2, Blackseed Cotton Cloth ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 10 distinct raw materials totalling 28 units, plus 38 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,936 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,019 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 32 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 12 Wind Cluster, 9 Ice Cluster, 8 Lightning Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 100, Alchemist to Lv 100 and Weaver to Lv 100 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 10 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Blackseed Cotton Boll (4:00, 16:00), Ipe Log (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, Thunderyards Silk has the widest use: 120 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
