Ceremonial Thighboots of Healing ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Ceremonial Thighboots of Healing is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Cronopio Leather ×2, Grade 3 Gemsap of Mind ×2, Diatryma Felt ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 11 distinct raw materials totalling 29 units, plus 38 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,170 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,478 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 32 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 12 Wind Cluster, 9 Earth Cluster, 8 Earth Crystal and 2 other kinds.

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

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