Gathering and monster materials
Gather rare parts from targeted hunts
Targets a specific monster material through reward previews and repeatable High Rank Investigations.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Gather rare parts from targeted hunts
High Rank Field Investigations registered from roaming monsters; use Hunter’s Notes for material conditions.
Before you go
- Unlock High Rank Investigations and discover the target monster.
- Have the monster’s Hunter’s Notes available.
- Identify the exact material and its listed reward condition.
Farming steps
- Open Hunter’s Notes and find the target monster’s material entries.
- Identify whether the item is associated with target, break, carve, or wound rewards.
- Open the region map and inspect the roaming monster’s guaranteed Investigation rewards.
- Save a hunt whose listed reward matches the material when available.
- Launch it through Alma and focus on the body part or wound condition indicated in the Notes.
- Complete the hunt and collect part-break, wound, and quest rewards that appear.
- Compare inventory with the crafting recipe and repeat only if the part remains missing.
- Use Focus Mode and Focus Strikes to expose and attack wounds when the material condition calls for wound rewards.
- Verify an item’s capture or slay condition individually; do not assume a series-wide rule.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat eligible Investigations while the material is missing. Saved attempts are limited and rare rewards are not guaranteed.
Common mistakes
- Breaking a different part from the one tied to the item; check Notes first.
- Assuming a break guarantees its reward; inspect the results and continue if needed.
- Registering without checking reward slots; preview guaranteed rewards before spending attempts.
When to stop or switch
Stop once the recipe has the required part. Switch targets if the Field Guide points to another condition or the Investigation offers no useful reward.
