I have two 4-way switches going to the same boxes. Feed on one side and switch leg on the end. I have run the first switches with 3/wire. Can I run the second set switches with just the travelers?
From the neutral on the first 3/wirehow would you get the neutral from the light to the feed?
if I have a box withI think you'll need to post a diagram or spell out more explicitly each box, what it contains, and what wire type you want to use between what pairs of boxes.

i have a BX feed coming into a 3 gang box to feed three 4-way switches, being switched from three locations for a chandelier, and sconces, and recessed lights. my first 3-way, 4-way, 3-way is run with a 3/wire cable which includes my neutral for all three boxes and my travelers for the first switch. (At this point I’m confident there is a neutral at every switching location). My question is: can I run the next switch with just 2/wire cable that includes just my travelers?I think you'll need to post a diagram or spell out more explicitly each box, what it contains, and what wire type you want to use between what pairs of boxes.

Sorry, still not following your description. If you don't want to upload a diagram, how a description like this:I thought I replied to your comment but something strange happened. Please take a quick look at the thread comments

Sorry, still not following your description. If you don't want to upload a diagram, how a description like this:
Box A has 14/2 supply, 14/3 to Box B, and a 3-way switch
Box B has 14/3 from Box A, 14/2 to the load, 14/3 to Box C, and a 4-way switch
Box C has 14/3 from Box B and a 3-way switch
