How to get the Sewer Skink minion in Final Fantasy XIV

There are two ways to get the Sewer Skink in FFXIV.

• Explore Criterion dungeons

The Sewer Skink is a minion that can pop out randomly from chests discovered in The Sil’dihn Subterrane. You can also get the Sponge Silkie minion using the same method. This is the Variant dungeon, introduced with Patch 6.25.

Here’s our guide on how to unlock the Variant dungeons. Once done, you can access the duty via a specific Finder and hope to be lucky when opening chests by exploring the different paths that exist in the duty.

• Buy on the Market Board

The Sewer Skink is tradeable, which means players can sell it on the Market Board. If you get no luck with Variant runs, just head to the Market Board and buy them. The price is ridiculously high since it was just released, but will likely decrease over time.
