Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail: how to get Surgelight Solvent

Surgelight Solvent can be obtained by completing the third fight of the Arcadion raid series on Savage difficulty. The boss will drop one Surgelight Solvent once you defeat them, with the person who rolls the highest on the loot obtaining it.

You can also obtain a Surgelight Solvent by handing in four AAC Illustrated: LHW Edition III books to the Arcadion raid vendor Hhihwi in Solution Nine. These books are obtained once per week when you complete the third fight on Savage difficulty, making it a fallback option if you’re unlucky with your loot.

It’s recommended that if you are planning on doing these savage difficulty fights you come prepared, either by joining a static or using the party finder. Similarly, you’ll want to ensure you have the highest item level possible and know your role and your rotation. Looking up a guide is also recommended, as these fights are no joke.

Unfortunately, that’s the only way to gain Surgelight Solvent at the moment in Final Fantasy XIV. However, once the new alliance raids are released in Patch 7.1, you’ll be able to trade in one coin obtained from the raid for one Surgelight Solvent, giving non-savage players a way to upgrade their Quetzalli gear.
