Giant Popoto Pancakes

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Giant Popoto Pancakes is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Golden Honey ×1, Northern Sea Salt ×1 and Upland Wheat Flour ×1 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 20 units, plus 38 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,876 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,010 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 22 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 30 Fire Crystal and 8 Water Crystal.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 74 intermediate up to the Lv 88 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

5 of the 6 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 1 comes from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

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