Thavnairian Calamari is a Culinarian ingredient in Final Fantasy XIV used for cooking Calamari Ripieni and Kalamarakia Tiganita, two new recipes added in Patch 6.1. Calamari Ripieni is a meal for Crafters, increasing max CP by 21% to 26% and boosting Craftsmanship by 4% to 5%. Conversely, Kalamarakia Tiganita is primarily for Gatherers, granting a 6% to 7% Perception buff and a 2% to 3% increase for Gathering in Final Fantasy XIV.
As a seafood ingredient, Thavnairian Calamari is naturally acquired through Ocean Fishing, specifically within Thavnair. Likewise, those aiming to catch this cephalopod will need to own Endwalker and progress far enough through the MSQ to reach this location in the expansion.

The recommended bait for this ocean fish type is the Mackerel Strip, a Level 90 bait purchasable from a Scrip Exchange Merchant for Purple Gatherers' Scrips ×5. However, those on a budget can also use the Level 1 Versatile Lure at the cost of lower efficiency.
