Ovim Wool Ushanka of Aiming

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Ovim Wool Ushanka of Aiming is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Ovim Wool ×2, Grade 1 Dexterity Alkahest ×1, Ramie Thread ×1 and 3 others — which resolve to 11 distinct raw materials totalling 27 units, plus 56 crystals.

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

Only 13 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 43 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 23 Lightning Crystal, 20 Water Crystal, 7 Earth Crystal and 1 other kind.

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

7 of the 11 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, Ramie Thread has the widest use: 85 recipes call for it, spanning three of the eight crafting classes.
