Rarefied King Crab Cake

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rarefied King Crab Cake is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Perilla Oil ×2 and Upland Wheat Flour ×2 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 13 units, plus 30 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,426 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 825 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 15 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 23 Fire Crystal and 7 Water Crystal.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 74 intermediate up to the Lv 83 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

2 of the 4 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, Upland Wheat Flour has the widest use: 61 recipes call for it, all of them Culinarian recipes.
