The Gridanian Walnut is a Culinarian ingredient in Final Fantasy XIV used in recipes, including Walnut Bread, Baklava, Nut Bake, and the Collectable, Rarefied Baklava. While the three baked consumables are undoubtedly delectable snacks, the Rarefied Baklava will come in handy for farming Purple Crafters' Scrips, a currency needed for purchasing a wide variety of high-end items and equipment from the Scrip Exchanges in Endwalker.
Therefore, Culinarians of Light looking to increase their Purple Crafters' Scrip income by baking Rarefied Baklava will naturally require an ample supply of Gridanian Walnuts. There are two primary methods of procuring this tree nut in Final Fantasy XIV. The first and most convenient way is through the player-shared Market Board. Presently, Gridanian Walnuts sell on average between 146 to 321 Gil each, making them quite the inexpensive expenditure. However, due to their current demand and fluctuating supply, Crafters might have a hard time acquiring the amount they need. Therefore, they must turn to the second means of obtaining Gridanian Walnuts — Logging.
