How many maple leaves does it take to complete the series?
PS- after just 2 hours of doing leaf catching I feel really bad for people with reflex issues, they should at least give you 4 tries to catch the leaf before it poofs instead of the 1 extra try
You need a total of 51 maple leaves to craft all maple recipes (one of each). This can be done within an hour or two, assuming you are only grinding for the leaves and doing nothing else.
