Salmon Muffin ★★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Salmon Muffin is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Ishgardian Muffin ×1, Sunset Wheat Flour ×3 and Cornmeal ×1 — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 12 units, plus 15 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 4 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 11 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 4 Fire Crystal, 4 Fire Shard, 3 Water Crystal and 2 other kinds.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 7 intermediate up to the Lv 70 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

5 of the 7 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 2 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Sunset Wheat Flour has the widest use: 29 recipes call for it, all of them Culinarian recipes.
