Flaugnarde ★★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Flaugnarde is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Birch Syrup ×1, Highland Flour ×1 and Sweet Cream ×1 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 12 units, plus 22 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,221 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 773 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 16 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 16 Fire Shard, 3 Fire Cluster and 3 Water Cluster.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 6 intermediate up to the Lv 60 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

2 of the 6 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 4 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Sweet Cream has the widest use: 26 recipes call for it, all of them Culinarian recipes.
