Spicy Tomato Relish ★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Spicy Tomato Relish is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Dark Vinegar ×1 and Table Salt ×1 — which resolve to 4 distinct raw materials totalling 7 units, plus 25 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,963 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 599 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 21 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 4 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 15 Fire Shard and 10 Water Shard.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 1 intermediate up to the Lv 50 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

All 4 raw materials are gathered, and one of them is time-gated: Dzemael Tomato (13:00). That window comes round once per Eorzean day, every 70 real-world minutes.

Spicy Tomato Relish is itself consumed by 1 further recipe, all of them Culinarian recipes.
