Summertide Formal Slacks ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Summertide Formal Slacks is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Diatryma Felt ×3 and Thunderyards Silk ×1 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 24 units, plus 32 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,926 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,178 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 26 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 12 Lightning Cluster, 12 Wind Cluster and 8 Lightning Crystal.

Every step is Weaver work, from a Lv 98 intermediate up to the Lv 100 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

2 of the 4 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Cochineal Pigment (6:00, 18:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Thunderyards Silk has the widest use: 120 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
