Are you really gonna ruin crafting and then release nothing for months SE?

Yeah. But look at Deep Fried Okeanis. I need 45 of these, and 3 pieces of Okeanis meat per one... That's 135 items. That's 13 and a half hours of retainer gathering or god knows how long me doing it myself. That's without other ingredients.

That's two times per day sending out one retainer to get your mats for the week. This is even doable, if you're only playing 60 mins a day (sending him out when you start and when you end playing).. i guess you play more? You don't need to get all 135 in one day. You don't have to only make one food.

5x retainer for Okeanis = meat for 16 crafts; 4x gathering Morels and 2x Spinach (that's 2 times 1/2 ET-day: 0:00 Morel, 06:00 Spinach, 12:00 Morel, being busy with gathering about max 10 mins in those 35 minutes for two days/week) = all timegated mats for 30 Morel Salads.
'Hardest' part done. Rest of the week: Another 4x Morels, 2x Spinach and 5x retainers of Okeanis and you're even done for next week with those mats...

One BSM-craft may take the same time gathering and way more expensive other stuff (cause crafted by other jobs, starting often with 9k+ for even lvl 52 mats)... for just one item.

Okeanis is not a master book recipe. That's the trade-off with CUL, unfortunately.
