Ceremonial Longcap of Scouting ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Ceremonial Longcap of Scouting is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Diatryma Felt ×2, Grade 3 Gemsap of Dexterity ×2, Black Star ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 11 distinct raw materials totalling 31 units, plus 46 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,578 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,468 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 40 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 12 Lightning Cluster, 12 Wind Cluster, 8 Water Crystal and 3 other kinds.

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

7 of the 11 raw materials come out of the ground, and 3 of them are time-gated: Cochineal Pigment (6:00, 18:00), Fulgurite (2:00, 14:00) and 1 other. The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 8 Eorzean hours, about 23 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Black Star has the widest use: 161 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
