Cheese Collection

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Cheese Collection is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 6 intermediates — Lignum Vitae Lumber ×5, Cottage Cheese ×4, Cream Cheese ×4 and 3 others — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 37 units, plus 73 crystals.

That bill outweighs 11,564 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,209 of the 1,552 Carpenter ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 59 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 54 Wind Crystal, 12 Fire Shard and 7 Ice Crystal.

The chain crosses two disciplines — Carpenter to Lv 80 and Culinarian to Lv 36 — so no single class can finish it unaided.

3 of the 7 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 4 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Lignum Vitae Lumber has the widest use: 134 recipes call for it, spanning seven of the eight crafting classes.
