Cotton Dalmatica of Gathering

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Cotton Dalmatica of Gathering is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Undyed Cotton Cloth ×2 and Cotton Yarn ×5 — which resolve to 2 distinct raw materials totalling 7 units, plus 7 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,963 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 557 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 2 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 5 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 6 Lightning Shard and 1 Wind Shard.

Every step is Weaver work, from a Lv 12 intermediate up to the Lv 17 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

1 of the 2 raw materials matches a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 1 comes from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Undyed Cotton Cloth has the widest use: 71 recipes call for it, spanning four of the eight crafting classes.
