Oddly Specific Paste ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, one Oddly Specific Paste is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 1 intermediate — Night Vinegar ×1 — which resolves to 2 distinct raw materials totalling 6 units, plus 21 crystals.

That bill outweighs 4,542 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 531 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 14 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 7 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 14 Fire Crystal and 7 Water Crystal.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 75 intermediate up to the Lv 80 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

1 of the 2 raw materials matches a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 1 comes from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Night Vinegar has the widest use: 15 recipes call for it, all of them Culinarian recipes.
