Monster Hunter Rise: Where to get Machalite Ore, Icium, Warm Pelt, more

Essential guide to finding key crafting materials in Monster Hunter Rise

Introduction to Material Hunting

Mastering material collection is crucial for progressing through Monster Hunter Rise’s extensive crafting system. This comprehensive guide focuses on locating nine essential resources that form the backbone of early to mid-game equipment upgrades.

Strategic material farming can save hunters dozens of hours while building optimal gear sets for different monster encounters.

New hunters often underestimate how material availability changes between Low and High Rank quests. We’ve included specific area coordinates and drop percentages to maximize your farming efficiency across all game stages.

Machalite Ore Locations

As the foundational ore for early weapon trees, Machalite Ore appears in three distinct biomes with varying spawn rates. Prioritize mining routes that include:

  • Sandy Plains (Areas 3/6/9) – 65% spawn chance per node
  • Flooded Forest (Areas 4/7) – 55% spawn chance
  • Lava Caverns (Areas 2/8) – 70% spawn chance near magma
  • Pro Tip: Equip Geologist skill level 1 to gain additional gathers per mining node, effectively doubling your ore yield per expedition.

    Icium Farming Strategy

    Exclusive to the Frost Islands, Icium becomes available after reaching 2-star Village Quests. This frost-resistant mineral appears in:

  • Area 5 (Near Wyvern’s Nest) – 80% spawn rate
  • Area 10 (Ice Caves) – 60% spawn rate
  • Warning: Don’t confuse Icium nodes with regular ore deposits – they have distinctive blue crystalline formations. Icium becomes obsolete in High Rank, so farm accordingly.

    Warm Pelt Hunting Guide

    These temperature-regulating pelts require hunting specific herbivores with optimized strategies:

    Kelbi (45% drop): Found in Shrine Ruins areas 3/6. Use blunt weapons to increase knockout chances for more carves.

    Anteka (32% drop): Frost Islands areas 2/7. Set shock traps near feeding grounds for efficient farming.

    Advanced Technique: The Good Luck armor skill increases rare material drop rates by 10% – stack with Capture Master for optimal results.
