Brightlinen Long Gloves of Striking

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Brightlinen Long Gloves of Striking is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Bright Linen Cloth ×2, Bloodhempen Yarn ×1, Durium Nugget ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 21 units, plus 34 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,152 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,065 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 11 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 23 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 19 Lightning Crystal and 15 Wind Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 71 and Goldsmith to Lv 70 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 6 raw materials are gathered, and one of them is time-gated: Raw Rhodonite (8:00, 20:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Durium Nugget has the widest use: 142 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
