Rarefied Giant Popoto Pancakes

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rarefied Giant Popoto Pancakes is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Upland Wheat Flour ×2 and Golden Honey ×1 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 14 units, plus 30 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,557 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 851 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 14 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 22 Fire Crystal and 8 Water Crystal.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 74 intermediate up to the Lv 89 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

All 4 raw materials are gathered, and not one of their spots is timed, so nothing in the tree waits on the Eorzean clock.

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