Ovim Cordon Bleu

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Ovim Cordon Bleu is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Cream Cheese ×1, Frantoio Oil ×1, Upland Wheat Flour ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 16 units, plus 32 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,959 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 943 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 18 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 20 Fire Crystal, 7 Water Crystal and 5 Fire Shard.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 6 intermediate up to the Lv 80 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

4 of the 7 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Ala Mhigan Salt Crystal (0:00, 12:00) and Lemonette (6:00, 18:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 6 Eorzean hours, about 18 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Upland Wheat Flour has the widest use: 61 recipes call for it, all of them Culinarian recipes.
