Morel Salad

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Morel Salad is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Olive Oil ×1 — which resolves to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 11 units, plus 12 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,999 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 734 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 11 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 1 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 6 Fire Crystal, 5 Water Crystal and 1 Fire Shard.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 11 intermediate up to the Lv 60 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

All 6 raw materials are gathered, and 2 of them are time-gated: Morel (4:00, 16:00) and Young Cieldalaes Spinach (6:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

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