Cheese Souffle

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Cheese Souffle is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Cream Cheese ×1, Maple Syrup ×1 and Sweet Cream ×1 — which resolve to 5 distinct raw materials totalling 7 units, plus 14 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,963 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 599 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 8 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 6 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 10 Fire Shard and 4 Water Shard.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 1 intermediate up to the Lv 37 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

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

Of the intermediates, Sweet Cream has the widest use: 26 recipes call for it, all of them Culinarian recipes.
