Zonureskin Caligae of Maiming

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Zonureskin Caligae of Maiming is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 7 intermediates — Zonure Leather ×2, Grade 1 Strength Alkahest ×1, Ovim Wool ×1 and 4 others — which resolve to 12 distinct raw materials totalling 28 units, plus 53 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,936 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,414 of the 1,844 Leatherworker ones, and 1 recipe nests deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 39 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 21 Earth Crystal, 13 Water Crystal, 7 Lightning Crystal and 3 other kinds.

The chain crosses four disciplines — Leatherworker to Lv 77, Alchemist to Lv 76, Weaver to Lv 76 and Blacksmith to Lv 54 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

9 of the 12 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Ala Mhigan Salt Crystal (0:00, 12:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

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