Ore and creature materials
Produce regional ore with Tsukumo Ore Shrines
A placed Ore Shrine provides a passive regional-material source while you hunt or explore.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Produce regional ore with Tsukumo Ore Shrines
Place a Tsukumo Ore Shrine Dragon Karakuri at a camp in the region whose materials you need; use Akikure Canyon for its regional ore.
Before you go
- Reach Chapter Three and access the target region.
- Unlock the Tsukumo Ore Shrine Dragon Karakuri.
- Have the construction resources required by the build menu.
Farming steps
- Open the Dragon Karakuri build menu at a camp in the target region.
- Choose the Ore Shrine and place it where you can return easily.
- If the shrine offers an upgrade, review its material cost and improve it when useful.
- Leave to hunt or explore; the shrine gathers regional materials passively.
- Return to the shrine and interact with it to collect the stored output.
- Check the collected items against the equipment recipe you are working toward.
- Place the shrine in the region tied to the material you need; a shrine elsewhere will gather that region’s materials.
- Treat shrine stock as supplementary income. Search deposits directly when a recipe is urgent.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat the gather-and-collect cycle as you continue playing. Output is passive and region-specific, not an instant or guaranteed named-item pickup.
Common mistakes
- Placing the shrine in the wrong region: move your gathering setup to the region associated with the desired material.
- Expecting a full recipe’s worth immediately: collect between hunts and use direct gathering to fill urgent gaps.
- Spending every collected material without checking your upgrade plan: compare the stock with the recipe first.
When to stop or switch
Stop collecting when you have the amount needed for your current recipe, or switch the shrine’s location if your target material changes.
