Gliderskin Thighboots of Striking

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Gliderskin Thighboots of Striking is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Green Glider Leather ×2, Rubber ×1, Silk Thread ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 19 units, plus 34 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 12 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 22 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 18 Earth Crystal, 12 Wind Crystal, 3 Lightning Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 72, Goldsmith to Lv 72, Weaver to Lv 50 and Alchemist to Lv 7 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 7 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Gold Ore (9:00) and Silkworm Cocoon (1:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 16 Eorzean hours, about 47 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Rubber has the widest use: 191 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
