Field gathering and materials
Search Chapter 7 and 8 for ores
Use daily field gathering in Chapters 7 and 8 to collect ore before paying Cooked Rice for additional material runs.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Search Chapter 7 and 8 for ores
Story Pack 7 and Story Pack 8 fields; use Lathel’s Search and Celia’s Absorption.
Before you go
- Unlock the relevant Story Pack fields.
- Have Lathel’s Search ability available.
- Have Celia’s Absorption ability available to collect finds.
Farming steps
- Check your gear recipe and identify which ore is missing.
- Travel to Chapter 7 and inspect the map’s Search-find count.
- Activate Lathel’s Search and approach the revealed field finds.
- Use Celia’s Absorption to collect any finds requiring it.
- Repeat the Search check and collection in Chapter 8.
- Review your ore inventory and determine whether the recipe shortage remains.
- If more ore is needed, check the Lizardman Altar reward preview and compare Rice cost with daily bonuses.
- Field Search is a limited daily collection; it can reduce, but may not remove, the need for Hunting Ground runs.
- Collect only what is currently accessible; story-pack unlocks determine which fields you can visit.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat Search collection in both fields as daily finds become available. Individual hidden rewards are one-time, while the field materials are a daily route. Hunting Grounds provide a separate Rice-funded way to pursue ore.
Common mistakes
- Treating Search as an unlimited farm: collect the available daily finds, then switch activities.
- Using Rice before gathering field materials: check both chapters first.
- Assuming every ore comes from both chapters equally: compare the material inventory and activity reward preview.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the daily Search finds are collected or your recipe has enough ore; use another target for remaining shortages.
