Collect crafting materials from repeatable Netherrealm maps and preserve the supplies that support your next gear upgrade.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Netherrealm map device and Void Chart, using available material-focused investment such as the Commodities branches associated with Flame Sand and Embers.
A useful material farm is a map loop that yields supplies your build can actually spend. In the current endgame route, Flame Sand and Embers are named crafting targets, and Void Chart investment can favor material-oriented map content. Choose a difficulty where you can finish the map and boss reliably, then run the same reward focus long enough to judge its usefulness. Keep materials required for your next craft; trade only surplus items after checking current demand. No fixed material yield is guaranteed, and higher difficulty is only worthwhile when your clear remains steady.
Have chart points available to invest in a material-focused reward path.
Choose a Timemark and difficulty your character clears consistently.
Know which crafting materials your planned gear upgrade requires.
Pick a map tier where ordinary encounters and the regional boss do not regularly stop your run.
Open the Void Chart and invest toward the available material-oriented path that supports your target supplies.
Use the map device to run eligible maps at that tier and complete the selected encounters rather than abandoning them for harder content.
Collect Flame Sand, Embers, and other materials relevant to your planned craft; use a loot filter to make the target drops easier to identify.
After each run, sort the materials into a reserve for the next upgrade and surplus you may sell or exchange.
Repeat several maps with the same chart focus so you can judge the route by completed clears and useful materials collected.
If the investment no longer serves your current bottleneck, reallocate future chart choices toward a different supported reward path.
Farming tips
The endgame guide identifies Flame Sand and Embers as crafting supplies, so decide what you need before selling accumulated materials.
Compare completed maps and usable materials across a session; a tougher tier that slows clears may yield less practical progress.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeatable while you have map access and can continue running the selected content. Material drops vary, and the chart focus steers rewards rather than guaranteeing a particular item.
Common mistakes
Spreading chart points across every mechanic: concentrate on the material goal for several maps, then reassess.
Selling supplies earmarked for a craft: reserve the amount needed for the next upgrade before listing surplus.
Raising difficulty solely for presumed better returns: step back if deaths, slow bosses, or failed clears interrupt the loop.
When to stop or switch
Stop this material focus when you have the supplies for the intended craft or when another build bottleneck matters more; change the chart direction or return to the easier sustainable tier.
