Gather mining outcrops and bonepiles in Guiding Lands
Regional mining and bonepile materials are part of Iceborne’s endgame augment material supply, and gathering also advances node progression.
PC / Global, base game with Iceborne expansion systems
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Mining outcrops and bonepiles across the Guiding Lands regions in Iceborne.
Guiding Lands mining outcrops and bonepiles yield region-specific materials. Which material you receive depends on region and node progression, so identify the recipe’s regional requirement before collecting. As nodes are harvested, their progress can reveal larger gathering nodes; use the materials at the Smithy only after verifying the relevant weapon or armor recipe.
Guiding Lands — map of the Tundra section (areas 16 and 17), with connections to the Forest section.
GET STARTED
How to farm
Before you go
Own Iceborne, finish its story, and unlock the Guiding Lands.
Check the Smithy recipe for the regional gathering material you need.
Know which region supplies that material.
Open the relevant weapon or armor augment recipe at the Smithy and note its gathering material.
Enter the Guiding Lands and travel to the region tied to that material.
Gather from available mining outcrops and bonepiles in that region.
Check the gathered items against the recipe to confirm you are collecting the right regional tier.
Continue harvesting available nodes as you move through the area.
Watch node progression and gather from larger nodes when they appear.
Return to the Smithy and apply the augment or upgrade once the full material list is met.
Farming tips
Gather while moving between target hunts to combine node collection with monster farming.
Node materials vary with region and node level, so confirm the material name in your inventory before doing more laps.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat gathering whenever you need more regional materials; nodes are a renewable activity, and the material yield is tied to region and node progression.
Common mistakes
Gathering in the wrong region: check the recipe’s material and region before entering.
Stopping at the first node: harvest both outcrops and bonepiles, since recipes may call for either source.
Assuming a node guarantees the exact tier you need: check inventory and node progress as you collect.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you hold the listed quantities for the augment, or switch to another region if the recipe calls for a different regional material.
