To craft the Level 90 Indagator's Tool and Jewelry Sets in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, Crafters of Light will need several high-end materials, including a valuable Reagent called Gripgel. This Reagent serves as a strong adhesive used to hold the complex parts of the Indagator's tools together, improving their capabilities to refine resources of the highest quality. As a result, Disciples of the Hand and Land will be able to gather and produce goods more effectively and efficiently for recreation or a high profit on the Market Board. Accordingly, knowing how to obtain Gripgel is essential for any Level 90 Crafter in Endwalker.
The only way to procure the Gripgel Reagent in Final Fantasy XIV is by spending White Crafters' Scrip at the many Scrip Exchanges found across Hydaelyn. These NPC Vendors offer a wide variety of valuable resources that sell for a high profit on the Market Board or can be used in crafting high-end gear, such as the Indagator's Sets mentioned above.
One of the best Scrip Exchanges that players are encouraged to visit is the one stationed in Radz-at-Han, the trader's paradise in Ilsabard.
Procuring Gripgel in Final Fantasy XIV
The reason the Radz-at-Han Scrip Exchange is superior to other exchanges throughout the planet is not that its prices are low or its offerings are better. Based on gameplay provided by Final Fantasy XIV content creator Zane Lionhart, it is evident that the Collectable Appraiser is very close to the Scrip Exchange, reducing the amount of time players need to go from delivery to vendor in FFXIV.
Regardless, the price is the same for Gripgel across all exchanges; one cube of Gripgel adhesive costs 500 White Crafters' Scrip in FFXIV. Accordingly, those who understand the market and know how to maximize their income in White Crafters' Scrip will be the most successful in procuring large amounts of Gripgel.
According to sources at Dot Esports, Gripgel can be sold on the Market Board in Final Fantasy XIV. However, the adhesive is in high demand and has low stock on multiple servers, meaning that the price in Gil per cube will likely remain high for a while. Typically, prices of new crafting materials tend to go down after several weeks of "Patch Day." Therefore, if players lack sufficient White Crafters' Scrips to spend but do not feel the prices in Gil are worth the Gripgel offerings, waiting until the next patch might be a good business decision in FFXIV.
