Neon Street Shoes ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Neon Street Shoes is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Purussaurus Leather ×2 and Blackseed Cotton Cloth ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 19 units, plus 24 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,589 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 958 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 18 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 12 Wind Cluster, 9 Earth Cluster and 3 Lightning Cluster.

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

2 of the 5 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Blackseed Cotton Boll (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, Purussaurus Leather has the widest use: 46 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
