How to find Purecrystal in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak

Purecrystal is one of many crafting resources players can find in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.

This material is used as an ingredient to craft a large amount of armor and buddy equipment. That makes it an essential item for players to get their hands on while playing the Sunbreak expansion.

To find this resource, they will need to search the mining outcrops of the Flooded Forest. Heading there during a Master Rank expedition will provide ample time to farm Purecrystal.

Mining outcrops are where most materials are gathered in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. In the Flooded Forest, just like in other regions, users will come across two types of mining outcrops.

The first type is a blue mining outcrop. It provides "run-of-the-mill" ores, and Purecrystal has a chance of being found in them. Here are the blue outcrops to search:

• On land southeast of area 7's body of water
• Directly southeast of area 11
• Right above the area 9 marker on the map, touching the coastline
• At the top of the pyramid structure south of the area 3 map marker
• Behind the pyramid structure, to the farthest southeastern portion of Flooded Forest
• Southwest of area 8, but directly east of the temple area

White mining outcrops are home to more uncommon and rare resources. This gives gamers a higher chance of finding Purecrystal. These are the white ones to search:

• Right next to the first blue mining outcrop by area 7
• Northeast of area 10
• On the elevated section of the forest north of area 4
• On top of the pyramid structure south of area 3
• Slightly southwest of the last blue outcrop listed above, behind the pyramid

The best route to take to farm Purecrystal, ensuring more spawn in after finishing the path, is by fast traveling to the camp outside area 11. Climbing down and heading south will see each outcrop reached, and the process can be repeated.

Additionally, they can send their buddies here to look for resources. There are no guarantees, and it does take a while, but it is an excellent way to gather materials while continuing to hunt monsters.
