Pastry Fish

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Pastry Fish is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 4 intermediates — Pie Dough ×1, Raisins ×1, Table Salt ×2 and 1 other — which resolve to 7 distinct raw materials totalling 11 units, plus 14 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,999 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 734 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 9 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 5 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 40 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

6 of the 7 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, Table Salt has the widest use: 51 recipes call for it, all of them Culinarian recipes.
