Brightlinen Turban of Crafting

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Brightlinen Turban of Crafting is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Bright Linen Cloth ×2, Stonegold Nugget ×1 and Bright Linen Yarn ×7 — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 17 units, plus 32 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,161 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 916 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 11 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 21 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 21 Lightning Crystal and 11 Wind Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 71 and Goldsmith to Lv 71 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 3 raw materials are gathered, and one of them is time-gated: Gold Ore (9:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Stonegold Nugget has the widest use: 90 recipes call for it, spanning six of the eight crafting classes.
