Everseeker's Top of Crafting ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Everseeker's Top of Crafting is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Blackseed Cotton Cloth ×3, Alexandrian Plate ×2, Optical Nanofiber ×2 and 1 other — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 50 units, plus 56 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,777 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,873 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 50 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 18 Lightning Cluster, 12 Wind Cluster, 8 Lightning Crystal and 3 other kinds.

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

4 of the 8 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Alexandrian Ore (6:00, 18:00), Blackseed Cotton Boll (4:00, 16:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 10 Eorzean hours, about 29 real-world minutes.

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