Black Market
Potion Solvent may also be purchased from the black market for Mesos where the price sometimes goes up or down.
This may not be the best way to acquire Potion Solvents unless you have plenty of Mesos to spend on them as this can become quite costly for something that you can just farm instead.

Best Place To Farm Potion Solvent
Although there are several places that have little to high chances of dropping Potion Solvents, there are many places to choose from but there are certain things to keep in mind.
The rotations you can do such as moving from one spot to another and even pulling enemies to one location to kill them fast.
Enemies that spawn in the area may not all be the types that drop Potion Solvent so it’s best to find a location that has majority or only those types that drop it.
The difficulty that it takes to kill the enemies also matters as you want to farm Potion Solvent efficiently and make the most of your time.
Here are some of the best places to farm Potion Solvent:
Red Wall (Level 41)
Red wall is a great place to farm Potion Solvents, especially if you have just reached level 50 and want to get a pet which requires Potion Solvent.
Most of the enemies here are humanoid and will be easy to deal with due to the lower level compared to you if you are level 50 and above.
With the lower level enemies around and the good pathways for you to lure them or do a rotations heading from spot to spot, farming Potion Solvent here should be quite easy.
Red Wall has the following enemies:
| Monster | Level | Type |
Jawbreaker Trainee | 41 | Humanoid |
| Jawbreaker Master | 42 | Humanoid |
Napas Karr | 42 | Humanoid |
Cave Of Eternity (Level 48)

Tips
- Try to avoid farming in spots that do not have the types of enemies that drop Potion Solvent as this can be a waste of time
- If there is a good rotation available follow it to save time and farm efficiently and also consider luring enemies to one spot for one quick kill
- Check the map for enemies that are spawning in the location if you decide on looking for different areas to farm Potion Solvent
- Higher level areas can be more rewarding in terms of Mesos, items and other drops
- Stick to levels where you can deal a lot of damage to save up time farming for a longer duration
- A lot of Mesos can also be acquired while farming as well as other items that may drop from enemies for later on
- If you plan on farming Potion Solvent to tame several pets, you might want to get one pet first so you can level it up while you are also farming Potion Solvents.
Overview
Potion Solvent is available for purchase in the Black Market but this can be a bit costly if you are out going for taming a ton of pets so it’s best to farm them instead.
Most of the time Potion Solvents will drop easily so picking the right place to farm them is important and getting comfortable to the rotation you do.
Aside from being needed for a few quests, Potion Solvents are mainly used for creating Dryad Snares for taming pets.
