Scientist's Gloves ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Scientist's Gloves is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Gargantua Leather ×1 and Thunderyards Silk ×1 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 11 units, plus 22 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,999 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 724 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 16 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 8 Earth Crystal, 8 Lightning Crystal, 3 Earth Cluster and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 100 and Weaver to Lv 98 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

2 of the 4 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 2 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

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