AR-Caean Velvet Cap of Maiming

Taken all the way down to base materials, one AR-Caean Velvet Cap of Maiming is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — AR-Caean Velvet ×2, Chondrite Ingot ×1, Grade 5 Strength Alkahest ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 26 units, plus 56 crystals.

That bill outweighs 9,543 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,273 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 40 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 32 Lightning Crystal, 8 Fire Crystal, 8 Water Crystal and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses three disciplines — Weaver to Lv 88, Blacksmith to Lv 88 and Alchemist to Lv 83 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

6 of the 7 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 1 comes from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Chondrite Ingot has the widest use: 210 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
