Gateau au Chocolat

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Gateau au Chocolat is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Fermented Butter ×1, Palm Sugar ×1, Upland Wheat Flour ×1 and 1 other — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 24 units, plus 45 crystals.

That bill outweighs 8,926 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 1,034 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 15 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 30 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 31 Fire Crystal, 7 Fire Shard and 7 Water Crystal.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 53 intermediate up to the Lv 95 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

4 of the 6 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, Upland Wheat Flour has the widest use: 61 recipes call for it, all of them Culinarian recipes.
