Pixie Cotton Acton of Striking

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Pixie Cotton Acton of Striking is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Grade 1 Strength Alkahest ×2, Pixie Cotton ×2, Atrociraptor Leather ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 10 distinct raw materials totalling 27 units, plus 48 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,763 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,307 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 13 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 35 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 22 Lightning Crystal, 13 Wind Crystal, 7 Earth Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Weaver to Lv 75, Goldsmith to Lv 74, Leatherworker to Lv 74 and Alchemist to Lv 73 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

8 of the 10 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.
