Iridescent Bottoms of Aiming

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Iridescent Bottoms of Aiming is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Iridescent Silk ×3, Green Glider Leather ×1, Silk Thread ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 23 units, plus 39 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,647 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,141 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 12 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 27 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 27 Lightning Crystal, 6 Earth Crystal and 6 Wind Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 73 and Leatherworker to Lv 72 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

4 of the 5 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Silkworm Cocoon (1:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Silk Thread has the widest use: 175 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
