House Borel Tea Set

Taken all the way down to base materials, one House Borel Tea Set is 4 crafting steps deep and needs 8 intermediates — Fig Bavarois ×1, Ishgardian Tea ×1, Sohm Al Tart ×1 and 5 others — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 24 units, plus 42 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,926 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,034 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 1 recipe nests deeper.

Only 8 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 34 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 15 Fire Crystal, 15 Fire Shard and 12 Water Crystal.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 1 intermediate up to the Lv 55 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

5 of the 9 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Coerthan Tea Leaves (0:00, 8:00, 10:00, 12:00, 20:00, 22:00) and Old World Fig (2:00, 4:00, 14:00, 16:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 4 Eorzean hours, about 12 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Sweet Cream has the widest use: 26 recipes call for it, all of them Culinarian recipes.
