Sweetmuffin

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Sweetmuffin is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Dark Rye Flour ×1 and Royal Maple Syrup ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 16 units, plus 31 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,959 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 943 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 16 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 24 Fire Crystal and 7 Water Crystal.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 81 intermediate up to the Lv 94 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

3 of the 5 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 2 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Dark Rye Flour has the widest use: 23 recipes call for it, all of them Culinarian recipes.
