Darkhempen Tabigoromo

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Darkhempen Tabigoromo is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Dark Hempen Cloth ×3, Horse Chestnut Lumber ×2, Dwarven Cotton ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 29 units, plus 62 crystals.

That bill outweighs 10,170 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,376 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 47 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 39 Lightning Crystal and 23 Wind Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 81 and Carpenter to Lv 81 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 3 raw materials are gathered, and not one of their spots is timed, so nothing in the tree waits on the Eorzean clock.

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