- Earth + Water = PlantIf you already made Plant in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- Plant + Wind = DandelionOne quick craft for Dandelion: drag Plant onto Wind and keep the result for the chain.
- Dandelion + Water = WineWine is only needed as an ingredient — make it once, don't farm extra copies.

Why this is the cheapest path to Cognac
We rank every known recipe for Cognac by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Brandy and Water — cost 7 and 1 crafts to build from scratch, which is why the whole chain above needs only 7 crafts. The alternatives in the table below are ranked the same way: their "approx. cost" is the pricier ingredient plus one, so you can see at a glance which route actually saves you crafts — and which ones quietly waste five.

Tips for crafting Cognac
- Craft in one sitting. The 7-craft chain for Cognac takes under two minutes once you know the route — the list above is already in dependency order, so just go top to bottom.
- Reuse your inventory. If you've played before you probably own the early intermediates (like Fog) already — skip straight to the first step you can't do.
- Missing an ingredient? Check the alternatives table — e.g. Brandy + Lake also produces Cognac if that route fits your inventory better.
