Eating Tamale while another uncommon-tier dish is active replaces one of the two slots.

Crocodile Tails are Cursed-Swamp-gated; Leek grows in the Foothills.33+Tamale is the early-game Mastery (crit chance) buff for crit-scaling builds before Burrito unlocks. Since each point of Mastery is worth 0.5% critical hit chance, the +5 buff adds roughly 2.5% crit while it is active, which suits Precision and Agility damage dealers. Both ingredients come from the Cursed Swamps, so farm Leek and crocodile tails together on a single swamp run, then craft in bulk where the 10-second craft time is the only bottleneck.30343135Flavor32363337"Corn dough with filling, wrapped in corn husks and steamed.
