Farm Great Spiritvein Gems from threat-level-3 Guiding Lands monsters

Before you go

• Complete Iceborne’s story and unlock the Guiding Lands.
• Unlock a relevant region and raise it to the level needed for a tempered threat-level-3 target.
• Have an augment or armor upgrade recipe requiring Great Spiritvein Gems.

Farming steps

1. At the Smithy, open the intended augment recipe and confirm the gem requirement.
2. Check Hunter’s Notes → Guiding Lands for eligible monsters and their material group.
3. Raise the chosen region to level 7 if targeting a Tempered Elder Dragon there.
4. Use a lure or wait for the qualifying tempered monster, confirming its tempered icon/status before departure.
5. Hunt it in the Guiding Lands and pick up dropped materials before leaving.
6. Finish the hunt and inspect the Guiding Lands rewards and inventory for Great Spiritvein Gems.
7. Repeat with another eligible monster or lure until the recipe requirement is met.

• The route is gated by the monster’s reward tier; a regular monster is not interchangeable with its tempered version.
• The level-7 region requirement is relevant to tempered Elder Dragon spawns; verify the chosen target in Hunter’s Notes.
• No fixed drop quantity is guaranteed per hunt.
