Acidic Secretions are monster drops used for crafting recipes like alchemist reagents or quests in Final Fantasy XIV. Obtain them by defeating specific creatures.
How to Farm Acidic Secretions
Farm by repeatedly killing enemy mobs that drop Acidic Secretions. Focus on overworld areas for efficiency:
- Target Monsters: Engage Bees, Wasps, or similar insect-type enemies.
- Drop Mechanics: Drop rates are low per kill; expect 10-15% chance. Kill mobs quickly to increase farm speed.
- Optimal Approach: Form small parties to clear groups faster. Avoid dungeons as overworld respawns are more consistent.
Best Locations for Farming
These zones have high mob density and easy access:
- Central Shroud: Near Buscarron's Druthers (x:20, y:22) hunt Wasps and Hornets. Ideal for levels 10-15.
- East Shroud: Around Amdapor Perimeter area (x:26, y:21) target Bee swarms. FATEs here sometimes spawn extra mobs.
- New Gridania: South Shroud entrance has Bee clusters; quick teleport from aetheryte.
Farming Tips and Tricks
Maximize yield with these strategies:
- Time Management: Farm during low-traffic hours to reduce player competition for mobs.
- Boost Rates: Use gear or consumables with increased drop rate attributes, or party with blue mages for AOE damage.
- Inventory Prep: Clear your inventory before sessions to avoid interruptions. Aim for 30-60 minutes per run.
