Rarefied Peperoncino

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Rarefied Peperoncino is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Vermicelli ×3, Olive Oil ×1 and Highland Flour ×3 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 13 units, plus 26 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,426 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 825 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 10 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 16 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 16 Fire Shard, 5 Fire Crystal and 5 Water Crystal.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 11 intermediate up to the Lv 58 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

All 6 raw materials are gathered, and one of them is time-gated: Abalathian Rock Salt (10:00, 22:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 12 Eorzean hours, about 35 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Olive Oil has the widest use: 19 recipes call for it, all of them Culinarian recipes.
