Any time something is crazy expensive in crafting, it's because there is a time sink connected to it. You will get to a point in Culi where you find it all hinges on one or two components that if you buy you lose Gil on making an item but getting said components means leveling other classes. Gathering in this case. I looked at the recipe for Jellied Compote and that's going to be the case. Level Gathering classes with the intent to make Jellied Compote. You might end up selling resources used to make it and get enough Gil you don't even need to make your own.
