Bouillabaisse ★

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Bouillabaisse is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Olive Oil ×1 — which resolves to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 9 units, plus 6 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,492 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 644 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 1 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 3 Fire Crystal, 2 Water Crystal and 1 Fire Shard.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 11 intermediate up to the Lv 50 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

All 6 raw materials are gathered, and one of them is time-gated: Dzemael Tomato (13:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Olive Oil has the widest use: 19 recipes call for it, all of them Culinarian recipes.
