Kalamarakia Tiganita ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Kalamarakia Tiganita is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Dark Rye Flour ×2 and Perilla Oil ×1 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 16 units, plus 22 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,959 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 943 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 Crystal, 3 Fire Cluster and 3 Water Cluster.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 81 intermediate up to the Lv 90 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

5 of the 6 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Lemonette (6:00, 18:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Perilla Oil has the widest use: 31 recipes call for it, spanning two of the eight crafting classes.
