Gem Selling Strategy — What to Sell vs What to Fuse

Cook 5x Gourmet Meat (from wolves, bears, moose in Hebra) for a Meat Skewer that sells for 490 rupees. Farm the three Snow-White Wolves near the Tabantha Snowfield tower — they respawn every Blood Moon. At 490 rupees per skewer, one Blood Moon cycle yields 1,500+ rupees easily.

Materials respawn after a Blood Moon. Create farming loops: Hyrule Field for Hightail Lizards and Hyrule Herbs, Faron for Mighty Bananas and Electric Safflina, Hebra for Cold-Resistance ingredients, Eldin for Fireproof Lizards. Mark high-yield spots on your map with stamps and revisit each Blood Moon cycle.

Rubies (110 rupees), Sapphires (150 rupees), and Diamonds (500 rupees) are the highest-value raw materials. However, cooked Gourmet Meat Skewers (490 rupees) are more farmable. Never sell Diamonds unless desperate — they are needed for armor upgrades. Luminous Stones (70 rupees) are common in caves and safe to sell.

Each dragon (Dinraal, Farosh, Naydra, Light Dragon) drops specific parts depending on where you hit them: scale (body), claw (feet), fang shard (mouth), horn shard (horn). Wait at their spawn points: Dinraal at Eldin Skeleton, Farosh at Lake Hylia cave entrance, Naydra at Mount Lanayru peak. One part per encounter, reset by waiting at a fire.
