Restaurant Showcase

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Restaurant Showcase is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Beeswax ×6, Moon Gel ×5, Dishware ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 9 distinct raw materials totalling 46 units, plus 131 crystals.

That bill outweighs 12,540 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,508 of the 1,591 Alchemist ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 64 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 67 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 86 Water Crystal, 39 Lightning Crystal and 6 Water Shard.

Every step is Alchemist work, from a Lv 10 intermediate up to the Lv 86 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

5 of the 9 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, Moon Gel has the widest use: 54 recipes call for it, spanning five of the eight crafting classes.
