Simple Curtain

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Simple Curtain is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Undyed Linen ×2, Silver Ingot ×1 and Linen Yarn ×5 — which resolve to 2 distinct raw materials totalling 9 units, plus 19 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,492 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 664 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 7 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 12 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 14 Lightning Shard and 5 Wind Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 33 and Goldsmith to Lv 23 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

Both raw materials are gathered, and no spot for either is timed, so nothing in the tree waits on the Eorzean clock.

Of the intermediates, Silver Ingot has the widest use: 157 recipes call for it, spanning eight of the eight crafting classes.
