Linen Robe

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Linen Robe is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Undyed Linen ×3 and Linen Yarn ×8 — which resolve to 2 distinct raw materials totalling 9 units, plus 21 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,492 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 664 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 7 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 14 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 18 Lightning Shard and 3 Wind Shard.

Every step is Weaver work, from a Lv 32 intermediate up to the Lv 35 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

Both raw materials are gathered, and no spot for either is timed, so nothing in the tree waits on the Eorzean clock.

Of the intermediates, Linen Yarn has the widest use: 74 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
