Sweet and Sour Frogs' Legs

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Sweet and Sour Frogs' Legs is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Beet Sugar ×1, Cottonseed Oil ×1, Gyr Abanian Flour ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 22 units, plus 36 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,402 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,028 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 8 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 28 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 28 Fire Shard, 4 Fire Crystal and 4 Water Crystal.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 61 intermediate up to the Lv 65 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

6 of the 8 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, Gyr Abanian Flour has the widest use: 18 recipes call for it, spanning two of the eight crafting classes.
