Tree Toad Legs

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Tree Toad Legs is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Smooth Butter ×1 and Sunset Wheat Flour ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 9 units, plus 4 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,492 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 644 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 2 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 2 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 3 Fire Shard and 1 Water Shard.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 7 intermediate up to the Lv 7 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, Smooth Butter has the widest use: 33 recipes call for it, all of them Culinarian recipes.
