Everseeker's Work Gloves of Gathering ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Everseeker's Work Gloves of Gathering is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Optical Nanofiber ×3, Purussaurus Leather ×2 and Gargantua Leather ×1 — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 37 units, plus 44 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,564 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,713 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 38 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 9 Earth Cluster, 9 Lightning Cluster, 9 Water Cluster and 2 other kinds.

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

3 of the 8 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Optical Fibergrass (4:00, 16:00) and Turali Alumen (8:00, 20:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 8 Eorzean hours, about 23 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Gargantua Leather has the widest use: 89 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
