Use plant-type monsters as the first test category, then confirm the exact source from the post-battle loot list. Do not assume that every plant enemy or every floor shares the same drop table.
What Thick Fluid is
A potent mucus obtainable only from certain plant-type monsters. Prized across varying trades for its adhesive properties, from leatherworkers to blacksmiths—even stonemasons.
The description is useful for identifying the material family and likely source category. It is not enough to publish a precise map pin or drop percentage, so this page separates confirmed item data from route leads.
Where to get Thick Fluid
Use plant-type monsters as the first test category, then confirm the exact source from the post-battle loot list. Do not assume that every plant enemy or every floor shares the same drop table.
- Note the exact plant enemy and quest area.
- Repeat the encounter before calling it a reliable farm.
- Record Cardinal Rank and game version with the result.
Thick Fluid test route
There is not enough versioned evidence to name a specific enemy, floor or drop rate. Use this small test record instead of turning the plant-type clue into a fabricated farming location.
| Test step | Record before moving on | When the clue becomes useful |
|---|---|---|
| Choose one plant-type enemy group | Enemy name, quest area, Cardinal Rank and version. | The same named enemy appears in another player's versioned report. |
| Clear a short repeatable route | Whether Thick Fluid appears in the post-battle loot list and how many runs were made. | At least two independent runs agree on the source. |
| Open the Smithy after a drop | Any recipe, amount and progression gate visible in your current save. | A recipe can be linked only after the in-game requirement is recorded. |
Until those checks produce a consistent result, the safest answer is that Thick Fluid is an adhesive material with plant-type source clues—not a confirmed floor route.
Thick Fluid recipes and uses
| Result or use | Amount | Evidence note |
|---|---|---|
| Leatherwork | Not listed | The localized description identifies it as an adhesive used by leatherworkers. |
| Blacksmithing | Not listed | The material description also associates it with blacksmith work. |
| Stonework | Not listed | Stonemasons are another stated use; exact Smithy recipes remain unresolved. |
Community recipe indexes are useful for planning a shopping list, but the live Smithy remains authoritative for availability, cost and whether a blueprint or Cardinal Rank gate is still missing.
Farm without wasting a quest
- Open the Smithy recipe first and confirm how many copies are needed.
- Activate the nearest Safety Area or Warp Terminal before testing a route.
- Fight the smallest repeatable enemy group that matches the current source clue.
- Check the loot notification after every run and stop if the expected material never appears.
- Return with enough material for the recipe rather than filling inventory without a target.
Thick Fluid FAQ
Is there a confirmed drop rate?
No verified rate is present in the current local export. A percentage should only be added after a versioned drop table or a sufficiently large repeat test is available.
Why is the material not at the Smithy?
Owning a material does not guarantee that every related recipe is already visible. Recipe availability can depend on discovered blueprints, story progress, towns and Cardinal Rank.
Should I sell spare copies?
Keep enough for the recipe you are actively targeting and avoid selling the last copies of a material whose acquisition route is still uncertain.
