Scientist's Breeches ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Scientist's Breeches is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Thunderyards Silk ×2 and Gargantua Leather ×1 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 16 units, plus 30 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,959 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 860 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 24 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 16 Lightning Crystal, 8 Earth Crystal, 3 Lightning Cluster and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 100 and Leatherworker 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.
