Mist Spinach Saute

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Mist Spinach Saute is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Fermented Butter ×1 and Night Vinegar ×1 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 12 units, plus 28 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,221 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 773 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 14 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 14 Fire Crystal, 7 Fire Shard and 7 Water Crystal.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 53 intermediate up to the Lv 78 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

3 of the 4 raw materials come out of the ground, and one of them is time-gated: Mist Spinach (0:00, 12:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Fermented Butter has the widest use: 32 recipes call for it, all of them Culinarian recipes.
