Efficient Material Farming Routes

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.

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.

Ore deposits are found on cliff walls, inside caves, and scattered throughout the Depths. Hit them with a Rock Hammer (fuse any rock to a weapon) for maximum drops. The Depths has significantly more ore than the surface. Goron City and Death Mountain regions have the highest surface-level ore density.
