Assorted Fruit

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Assorted Fruit is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Walnut Lumber ×1 — which resolves to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 7 units, plus 14 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,963 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 599 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 12 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 2 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 6 Fire Shard, 6 Water Shard and 2 Wind Shard.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Culinarian to Lv 50 and Carpenter to Lv 25 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 5 raw materials are gathered, and one of them is time-gated: Prickly Pineapple (9:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Assorted Fruit is itself consumed by 1 further recipe, all of them Goldsmith recipes.
