A repeatable way to turn suitable High Rank hunts into appraised decorations for weapon and armor builds.
PC / Global, base game through February 2026 endgame updates
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
High Rank roaming monsters on a region map; Alma registers and launches saved Investigations.
High Rank Investigations are a focused way to collect decoration orbs while hunting. The monster itself does not determine which orb you receive: inspect the guaranteed reward preview and register a hunt only when its listed orbs fit your goal. Sword Orbs become weapon decorations and Armor Orbs become armor decorations; both appraise automatically when the hunt ends. The resulting jewel is random, so treat an orb as a chance at useful skills rather than a promise of a particular decoration. Equip good results in compatible slots, and keep unwanted jewels for Vio’s melding pot in Suja.
Have access to Alma and enough Guild Points for registration, as shown in game.
Decide whether your build needs weapon or armor decorations.
Open the world map and review roaming monsters in available regions.
Select a candidate and inspect its guaranteed reward list.
Choose a hunt that lists the orb type and rarity relevant to your goal.
Ask Alma to save that roaming hunt as an Investigation.
Launch the saved hunt through Alma and complete it.
Collect the results and let any orbs appraise automatically at hunt completion.
At a tent or Gemma’s Smithy, equip useful jewels in compatible slots and set aside spares for melding.
Farming tips
Read the reward preview before registering; the monster name alone does not reveal whether the listed orbs suit your build.
Use limited Investigation attempts on reward sets you would be happy to claim more than once.
Repeat, collect and use
Limited per saved Investigation: one saved hunt can be completed up to three times. Register another suitable roaming monster when its attempts are used.
Common mistakes
Registering before checking guaranteed rewards; inspect the preview first.
Expecting to choose the jewel from an orb; appraisal is random, while targeted melding is a separate option.
Assuming a jewel equips itself; slot it manually in compatible equipment.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the build’s needed jewels are covered or the saved hunt is spent. Switch to a better reward preview or meld spare decorations to address a specific gap.
