I give here a detailed example, compiled all from memory (only meaning to demonstrated that I very much love this aspect of the game).

Velveteen Robes

Velveteen Robe consists of the following parts:
Velveteen robe front
Velveteen robe back
Velveteen sleeves
Silver breastpin
Buffalo Leather Shoulderguards
Buffalo Leather Strap
Cotton Yarn
Ok, I removed the other stuff just because while detailed and informative, I didn't want to flood your section and mine as then next War and Peace. lol So, I understnad the realism behind what needed to be done in order to create that item and SOOO many more in the game and thought it WAS cool. The problem with that system is what so many others have explained, the need for a Rank to create one of those pieces may have been to high when compared to the piece itself OR the other jobs included in making the piece. THAT makes no sense. If it's a Rank 30 crafting (Wvr) piece ( I don't really know just giving an example) then the rest of the sub jobs should be that same rank. Otherwise it's NOT really a Rnk 30 piece because you need R46 Bsm in order to make something on it. Therefore it should be R46 as that is the next highest and needed Rank to make the whole damn thing work. Because without your Bsm being close to 46, you can't complete it so why tease someone and get them excited to finally make that epic piece only to be slapped and HA HAAAA thrown in your face? Does that make sense?
