Cream Yellow Carpet

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Cream Yellow Carpet is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 8 intermediates — Ovim Wool ×8, Dwarven Cotton ×4, Lignum Vitae Lumber ×4 and 5 others — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 96 units, plus 190 crystals.

That bill outweighs 13,461 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,959 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 1 recipe nests deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 176 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 91 Lightning Crystal, 56 Water Crystal, 35 Wind Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Weaver to Lv 80, Carpenter to Lv 78 and Alchemist to Lv 76 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

7 of the 8 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.
