Atrociraptorskin Bracers of Casting

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Atrociraptorskin Bracers of Casting is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 5 intermediates — Atrociraptor Leather ×2, Bluespirit Tile ×1, Darksteel Nugget ×1 and 2 others — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 26 units, plus 46 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,543 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,336 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 13 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 33 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 21 Earth Crystal, 10 Fire Crystal, 6 Water Crystal and 2 other kinds.

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

7 of the 9 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Darksteel Ore (1:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Darksteel Nugget has the widest use: 121 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
