Suspicious Juice Crafting Recipe
Crafting it takes 8 materials across 4 types.
Where to Find Suspicious Juice
1 Pal drops Suspicious Juice when defeated or captured, which is usually the faster route if you are already out hunting — the drop list below is sorted by how reliably each one gives it up.
If you would rather just buy it, the cheapest seller is Caravan Shop at 3,120 Gold, and 1 other shop stocks it too.
Farming Lovander for it is a night job. Lovander is nocturnal and only appears in the wild after dark, and even then the juice drops just 1% of the time, one bottle per kill. Unless you need a single bottle before your bench is up, crafting — or buying from a Caravan or Dungeon merchant — is far quicker.

Using Suspicious Juice Well
You brew it at a medicine bench, not a cooking station. The Medieval Medicine Workbench is enough — it opens at technology level 12 for 2 points — and the Electric and Advanced versions later in the tree take the same recipe. Whichever bench you use needs a Pal with Medicine Production assigned to it, and each bottle is 30,000 workload, so a single low-level medic will crawl through a batch.
The ingredient list is the real bottleneck. Bone and Horn stack up from routine hunting, but three Beautiful Flower per bottle means gathering flowers in quantity, and Aquatic Pal Fluids has to come from aquatic Pals. Stockpile those two before queueing a big batch. If you outgrow the buff, Strange Juice is the next step up, at a much steeper SAN cost.
