Creamy Hot Chocolate

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Creamy Hot Chocolate is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Palm Sugar ×1 and Whipped Cream ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 17 units, plus 32 crystals.

That bill outweighs 7,161 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 967 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 16 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 8 Water Crystal.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 82 intermediate up to the Lv 96 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

4 of the 5 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, Palm Sugar has the widest use: 31 recipes call for it, spanning two of the eight crafting classes.
