Chilled Red

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Chilled Red is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Grape Juice ×1, Orange Juice ×1, Silver Ingot ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totaling 10 units, plus 9 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,754 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 690 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 1 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 8 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 4 Fire Shard, 2 Water Shard, 2 Wind Shard and 1 other kind.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Culinarian to Lv 30 and Goldsmith to Lv 23 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

All 4 raw materials are gathered, and not one of their spots is timed, so nothing in the tree waits on the Eorzean clock.

Chilled Red is itself consumed by 1 further recipe, all of them Carpenter recipes.
