You need the Natron in there or your Tart won't look like a pastry...baking powder, you don't need it?

In my country that's in the dough.

It would be better to add somethign more like a 'spice market' where we can buy most of the crap we need. the biggest pain i have is collecting all those exotic ingredients >.>;;

I miss the old ways when all crafts looked like the one OP listed.

It would be interesting if there were wildcard slots like in the OP for all the recipes. And you could experiment with the recipe to figure out what combination of extra items would boost the HQ most. It could add a little depth to the otherwise simplified crafting system.

blood currant- bought from npc (1310g)
maple sugar- crafted from maple syrup, which is bought from npc (11g)
salted butter - bought from npc (90g)
pie dough - crafted from sunset wheat flower (65g), salted butter (see above), table salt (11g), mineral water (60g)
sun lemon - bought from NPC (897g) or gathered
natron - bought from npc (220g)
gridanian walnut - gathered
mineral water - bought from npc (60g)




the only thing holding you back is the gridanian walnut. if you don't want to spend time gathering those (they're pretty easy), check the wards. if they're not plentiful enough to support your grind, you can always just go pick up leves, craft, abandon, and pick them up again... which is pretty much what everyone else does to grind.

maybe you just picked a really poor example, but try to keep in mind that most any other craft will find it unrealistic to grind on whole finished items to level. they're generally stuck grinding parts which they then NPC.

Then use another recipe
Acorn Cookie (lv35 recipe):
Rye Floor - 43 gil
Table Salt - 11 gil
Iron Acorn - gathered
Mineral Water - 60 gil

If you don't want to buy or grind the items, use leve like every other crafter who don't want to buy or grind the items.
