Frilly Curtains

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Frilly Curtains is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Sarcenet Cloth ×4, Thunderyards Silk ×4 and Ginseng Lumber ×2 — which resolve to 3 distinct raw materials totalling 50 units, plus 96 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,777 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,873 of the 1,968 Weaver ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 80 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 72 Lightning Crystal and 24 Wind Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Weaver to Lv 100 and Carpenter to Lv 91 — 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, Thunderyards Silk has the widest use: 120 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
