Where to Find High Quality Recovery Meds
4 Pals drop High Quality Recovery Meds 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 seller is Caravan Shop at 12,600 Gold.
It also shows up as world loot — crates on the oil rigs, treasure chests in the Sakurajima and treasure chests in the Feybreak, and 19 more pools besides, usually 5 at a time. Higher-grade chests carry the better rolls, so the ones guarded by a camp are usually worth the detour.

Using High Quality Recovery Meds Well
The recipe is gated behind the Electric Medicine Workbench, which costs a Technology point at level 43. Once that bench is up you can also brew these at the Advanced Medicine Workbench (level 61) or an Ancient Workbench, so there is no reason to keep the older bench around for them.
It works on Pals as well as on you. A Pal in your party is healed by using the meds and picking it as the target; a Pal working at your base is healed from the Pal menu with the feed option. No grade of recovery meds revives a Pal that has already gone down, so treat these as damage upkeep rather than an emergency button.
Because the healing ticks over several seconds instead of landing at once, this is the grade to drink before you push into a zone that out-levels you, or when broken armour leaves you taking steady heat or cold damage — the regeneration outruns the chip damage while you run for shelter or swap gear.
