Know what to farm.
And where to go.
Monster Hunter: World turns hunts into equipment progression through monster parts, randomized Investigations, and endgame augmentation. In Iceborne, the Guiding Lands supply region-specific monster and gathering materials used by weapon augments. Tempered Investigations supply bonus reward boxes and Feystones, while the Smithy shows rarity-specific upgrade costs.

What matters before you farm
Unlock requirements, costs and tips to help you get started.
Choose investigations for the target reward
Investigations have limited attempts and randomized bonus boxes. Compare the target and reward boxes before registering; gold boxes usually offer the best materials.
Sources & fact checks
Check region levels before pursuing a Guiding Lands drop
Guiding Lands materials depend on region, monster, level, and Tempered status. Confirm the target is available in the region before raising it or using a lure.
Sources & fact checks
Inspect the augment recipe before spending materials
Augment costs vary by weapon rarity, and replacing an augmentation does not return its materials. Check the Smithy recipe before starting a targeted hunt.
Sources & fact checks
Farm with a purpose
Put focused endgame rewards and named augment materials first, followed by the systems that unlock or apply them, then broader repeatable investigation and part-break routes.
