Baked Goods Showcase

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Baked Goods Showcase is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Upland Wheat Flour ×7 — which resolves to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 23 units, plus 77 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,647 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,031 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 56 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 21 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 49 Fire Crystal and 28 Water Crystal.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 74 intermediate up to the Lv 80 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: Ala Mhigan Salt Crystal (0:00, 12:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

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