Crafting progression through Gear materials
A practical material-gathering loop for advancing a specific gear craft without wasting daily Rice.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Crafting progression through Gear materials
Gear recipe interface, Lathel’s Search in Story Packs 7–9, and the relevant Hunting Ground for any remaining shortage.
Before you go
- Unlock the story pack field or Hunting Ground that contains the target material.
- Have Lathel’s Search for field gathering; Celia’s Absorption helps collect finds.
- Have Cooked Rice if you need additional Hunting Ground runs.
- Have a specific gear recipe or craft goal.
Farming steps
- Open the intended gear recipe and list its missing materials and gold cost.
- Visit Chapter 7 and 8 fields for daily ore Search finds, or Chapter 9 for wood.
- Activate Lathel’s Search and collect revealed finds, using Celia’s Absorption as needed.
- Recheck the recipe and calculate which material remains short.
- For ore, check Lizardman Altar; for hardwood, check Mountain Keeper’s Shelter.
- Confirm the needed material in the client reward preview and clear the chosen boss to unlock Hunt Request.
- Spend Rice on the remaining shortage, then return to the recipe and craft when all requirements are met.
- Collect daily Search materials before using Rice; field gathering and Hunting Grounds are separate routes.
- Use the current gold or Slime bonus when deciding whether to delay a non-urgent material farm.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat Search when daily finds are available. Hunting Ground farming can be repeated with Rice after the chosen difficulty’s boss clear; crafting consumes materials and is not itself a farm.
Common mistakes
- Farming without a recipe target: list exact shortages first.
- Spending Rice before daily field gathering: Search the relevant chapters first.
- Assuming a named target guarantees every material: verify the current reward preview.
When to stop or switch
Stop gathering a material once the recipe is supplied; switch to the next missing component or return Rice to boosted gold or Slimes.
