Know what to farm.
And where to go.
Wild Hearts turns Kemono hunts and Azuma exploration into weapon and armor upgrades. Volatile Kemono supply region-specific Core Orbs for Limit Break, while ordinary gathering and small creatures provide crafting materials. Chapter Three opens region-specific ore routes such as Golden Hematite in Akikure Canyon; the final updates also add deeper challenge hunts and Serial Hunts.
