Swag Valance

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Swag Valance is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Dwarven Cotton ×4, Ovim Wool ×3, Manasilver Nugget ×2 and 3 others — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 44 units, plus 98 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,337 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,802 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 1 recipe nests deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 84 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 56 Lightning Crystal, 21 Water Crystal and 21 Wind Crystal.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Weaver to Lv 80, Alchemist to Lv 76 and Goldsmith to Lv 74 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

5 of the 6 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, Dwarven Cotton has the widest use: 165 recipes call for it, spanning eight of the eight crafting classes.
