Tailor-made Eel Pie ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Tailor-made Eel Pie is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Pie Dough ×1, Smooth Butter ×1, Sunset Wheat Flour ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 12 units, plus 7 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,221 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 773 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 4 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 4 Fire Shard, 2 Fire Cluster and 1 Water Cluster.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 1 intermediate up to the Lv 50 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

5 of the 8 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 3 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Table Salt has the widest use: 51 recipes call for it, all of them Culinarian recipes.
