Unofficial Ingredient Tier

This is for the Facebook game "Restaurant City".

The game lists ingredients in terms of rarity, but these rarities do not reflect the true rarity of the ingredients in the game. Therefore, I have decided to create an ingredient ranking that reflects the current trading market.

Many things go in to the determination of the rarity of the ingredients. The number of dishes that require the ingredient is one important factor. Sugar leads the way in this category, with 19 dishes that require it. Another important factor is the availability of the ingredients.

For example, ingredients such as vanilla and raisins are in abundance because they were recently available from the Gourmet King. Ingredients that can be grown in the garden (such as sugar) can only be obtained by growing them or on the market. They are not given out as first time friend ingredients, daily ingredients, or food quiz ingredients.

All such factors will be considered for making this list. This list will be changed constantly based on the fluctuation of the current market. This list is maintained by Eddie Kim.
