Winter Sweater

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Winter Sweater is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Steppe Serge ×2, Worsted Yarn ×9 and Natron ×3 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 18 units, plus 27 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,380 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 951 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 1 recipe nests deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 18 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 17 Lightning Crystal, 6 Water Shard and 4 Wind Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 66 and Alchemist to Lv 25 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

2 of the 4 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 2 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Steppe Serge has the widest use: 66 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
