FFXIV – Complete Alchemist Ingredient Guide List

Hello, Final Fantasy XIV‘s Alchemists! I hope you’ve got an itch for some item information, because we certainly do have it here.

This guide is outdated as of the 2.1 patch! I will be fixing it all up once I can. Please check my FFXIV guide list for updates. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Below is a list of Alchemist ingredients to help those looking for quick and easy item access. This list should be complete, but if you notice something is missing or any errors, please let me know!

A few things to keep in mind as you move forward:

• Ingredients are sorted by their functional type (not seen in-game, but personal opinion) and are further sorted in alphabetical order.
• Listings that simply say “vendors” can be found at a variety of NPCs, often tradecraft suppliers in each city. These NPCs are not individually noted.
• A listing noted with (*) gives a link to monster drop information found on either Gamer Escape or XIVDB, depending on the exact information needed.

(With 2.1 just about here/here depending on you read this, you need to know that the information contained in these guides is going to be slightly out of date for up to 36 hours, depending on how quickly I can obtain and update the information in each guide. Please note the powerleveling guides will be INEFFECTIVE until XP numbers have been updated and I have recalculated everything. Enjoy 2.1 and sorry for the inconvenience!)
