No legal markets will even stock them. The main source of symbionts are the mad-as-sockmonkeys Daelkyr and their servants, who make them through arcanoscience.However, they are all sealed underground. Like REEEALLY DEEEP. Symbionts will generally require effort equal to an sidequest to find a dealer since even the most powerful of normal mages can't make them without access to forbidden knowledge.However, there is a simpler way to get it than tracking down a Daelkyr servitor 600 feet under. Just ask your DM to introduce an enemy who already has a symbiont. Kill him and take his symbiont. Unless you specifically target it, you don't damage a symbiont in the process of killing its host.I suggest the former if you're into RP and the pseudosocial interactions of searching for a black market specialist. The later if you just want one quick.Either way, you can't just go off and buy one so you need active DM assistance in tracking one down.</blockquote>
