Chicken Pasta ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Chicken Pasta is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Cooking Mezcal ×2, Garlean Cheese ×1, Vermicelli ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 8 distinct raw materials totalling 20 units, plus 37 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,876 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,010 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 6 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 31 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 16 Fire Crystal, 15 Fire Shard, 3 Fire Cluster and 1 other kind.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 52 intermediate up to the Lv 100 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

4 of the 8 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Abalathian Rock Salt (10:00, 22:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Garlean Cheese has the widest use: 17 recipes call for it, all of them Culinarian recipes.
