Pixie Cotton Hat of Striking

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Pixie Cotton Hat of Striking is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Pixie Cotton ×2, Atrociraptor Leather ×1, Grade 1 Strength Alkahest ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 24 units, plus 41 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,926 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,178 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 13 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 28 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 22 Lightning Crystal, 7 Earth Crystal, 6 Water Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Weaver to Lv 74, Leatherworker to Lv 74 and Alchemist to Lv 73 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

7 of the 9 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 2 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Rainbow Thread has the widest use: 116 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
