WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Farm Nobushi & Kairagi

Inazuma — start at Jinren Island’s northern waypoint; Fort Hiraumi on Seirai Island is another route.

Defeat Nobushi and Kairagi, collect their Handguard drops, and use alchemy to convert lower tiers when needed.

How to farm

Before you go

Kageuchi Handguard requires Nobushi/Kairagi at Lv. 40+; Famed Handguard requires Lv. 60+ (use the tier appropriate to the needed material).

For a short concentrated run, teleport to Jinren Island’s northern waypoint and sweep the larger island’s beaches, cliffs, rocks, and sandbar; Highground reports about 15 Nobushi/Kairagi across the island.
For a Seirai cluster, teleport to the waypoint by Fort Hiraumi, clear groups east and west, then continue southeast to the nearby island’s southern beach.
For a broader route, sweep Narukami Island, Kannazuka including Kujou Encampment and Nazuchi Beach, then Yashiori Island; follow the Traveler.gg minimap route images as visual references, without assuming each image’s island from the page.
Defeats may yield no Handguard; continue through more groups rather than treating a kill as guaranteed loot.

Farming tips

Some Nobushi spawn only when approached; some are associated with quests. The Prima route excludes one-time-only encounters and Relay Stone puzzle enemies that do not drop loot.

Prima Games documents the Adventurer’s Handbook blind spot and locations across Narukami Island, Kannazuka (Kujou Encampment and Nazuchi Beach), and Yashiori Island. It says the Handbook commonly points to Jinren Island and cliffs near Court of Flowing Sand. Highground Gaming recommends Jinren Island (use the waypoint on the smaller northern island, then sweep the larger island) and Fort Hiraumi (Seirai Island waypoint; clear east and west groups, then the three on the nearby southern beach). Traveler.gg provides five additional minimap route images; its page does not label each image with an island name.
