Archeo Kingdom Poleyns of Striking ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Archeo Kingdom Poleyns of Striking is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Blackseed Cotton Cloth ×3, Grade 2 Gemsap of Strength ×2, Purussaurus Leather ×2 and 1 other — which resolve to 10 distinct raw materials totalling 40 units, plus 50 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,825 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,705 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 44 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 18 Wind Cluster, 15 Lightning Cluster, 8 Lightning Crystal and 2 other kinds.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Weaver to Lv 100, Alchemist to Lv 100 and Leatherworker 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), Nopaliflower (2:00, 14:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Thunderyards Silk has the widest use: 120 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
