Prism Pouch

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Prism Pouch is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Linen Canvas ×2, Linen Yarn ×6, Beeswax ×2 and 1 other — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 14 units, plus 25 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,557 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 823 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 8 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 17 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 19 Lightning Shard, 4 Wind Shard and 2 Water Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 36 and Alchemist to Lv 10 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 3 raw materials are gathered, and not one of their spots is timed, so nothing in the tree waits on the Eorzean clock.

Of the intermediates, Linen Yarn has the widest use: 74 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
