Crab Croquette

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Crab Croquette is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Cottonseed Oil ×1, Firm Tofu ×1 and Gyr Abanian Flour ×1 — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 18 units, plus 28 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,380 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 984 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 7 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 21 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 21 Fire Shard, 4 Fire Crystal and 3 Water Crystal.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 61 intermediate up to the Lv 64 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.
