Material Farming Routes

Material Farming Routes

Data policy (Preludes 15): Drop tables and merchant prices follow community catalog as synced on our item pages. Weapon acquisition changed in P15 — most gear drops fully built with Tempers; see Preludes 15 notes. Verify routes in your client.

Quick Answer

• Gossamer Quartz: Circade crypt sarcophagi — need Crypt Keys (Pay Respects Grave Digger guaranteed; Hotfix 4 removed keys from dungeon Rare Chests). Full community catalog table: Gossamer Quartz item page.
• Moranite / Sappheline: Kearnhold southeast Mockery + crypt loop; Fort Kearnhold siege on ~3h timer — Moranite & Sappheline item pages (community catalog).
• Scrap & Dracs: Dermak Undercity container loops (community — verify); community catalog sells metals at 150 Dracs when he spawns.
• P15 weapons: most 1–2★ drop whole with Tempers — Refine with Chordstones; 3★ exceptions listed below.
• Agari: 30-min overworld loop for Cogah mats — use Agari Timer; siege nodes run a separate ~3h clock.

Farming Basics

Material farming in Soulframe revolves around three sources: open-world gathering, dungeon chests, and enemy drops. Efficient farming means knowing which source is best for each material and planning routes that cover multiple nodes.

Ways to acquire materials: exploration chests, quest completion, enemy kills, breaking containers (barrels/crates), and purchasing from merchants. Start with the Gossamer Quartz and Moranite item pages for community catalog-verified drop tables; use Crypt of the Circade and Dermak Undercity guides for dungeon loops.

Crafting takes real time: weapons and upgrades at Tuvalkane (and Oden Tempering at the Nightfold forge) queue in the background — start a craft before you leave for a Crypt or Agari loop. New to the forge? Read How to Craft in Soulframe for the five-step Tuvalkane workflow, then Oden & Tempering for endgame metal costs.

Gossamer Quartz (Uncommon)

Used in weapon crafting, armour upgrades, and the Garren Rood Pact. Full community catalog drop list: Gossamer Quartz item page.

community catalog-listed sources

| Type | Source (community catalog) | |------|-----------------| | Container | Basic Chest (Glades / Midrath / Undercity), Collector Crate, Crypt Sarcophagus, Dendrit Chests, Echo Stone | | Dungeon / operation | A Hidden Harvest, Avakot's Stocks, Hark, the Collector | | Merchant | community catalog — 150 Dracs, qty 1 |

Community-reported (verify in-game)

| Tip | Notes | |-----|--------| | Circade sarcophagus ~50% | Community-reported rate — not on the published drop table; verify in-game | | Fey statue repair (Glades) | One-time quartz cited in guides — confirm in client | | Bring 3–4 Crypt Keys | Key economy; keys are not sold on community catalog |

Recommended route

1. Guaranteed key: complete Pay Respects Sparrow's Tale — Grave Digger step (community catalog) — details on Crypt Key.
2. Supplement from Basic Chests, Crypt Sarcophagi, and overworld foes on the Crypt Key page — foe drops are extremely rare (community catalog).
3. Hotfix 4: Crypt Keys no longer drop from dungeon Rare Chests — do not rely on that route (see Crypt Key item page).
4. Enter Crypt of the Circade and open sarcophagi (community: ~50% quartz — verify).
5. Backup: community catalog when he spawns (150 Dracs per community catalog) or buy via Gossamer Quartz merchant row.

Moranite (Rare)

Azure crystal for high-tier weapons, armour, and Tempering. Full community catalog drop list: Moranite item page.

community catalog-listed sources (summary)

| Category | Examples on community catalog | |----------|-------------------| | Containers | Collector Crate, Crypt Sarcophagus, Dendrit Chest (Glades, Midrath, Undercity, Alca's Bounty, Kith enclave) | | Cogah foes | The Mendicant King (Cogah), Wraith of Wastes (Cogah), Gourdo (Cogah), Gruul Seekers (Cogah), Kabocha (Cogah), Knell Knight (Cogah), and others — see item page | | Merchant | community catalog — 1,500 Dracs, qty 1 | | Faction | Kith of Kings stock (4,500–12,000 Dracs bundles per community catalog) |

community catalog lists drop sources only, not per-kill rates.

Craft quantity (catalog / weapon data)

• Bog & Myrtle — Moranite ×8 in Nightfold craft recipe (plus Scrap Iron ×25, Scrap Brass ×25).

Suggested loop (community catalog-aligned — verify drops)

1. Primary: Mockeries + Crypt Sarcophagi southeast of Fort Kearnhold — community relog loop; often paired with Sappheline. Details on the Moranite item page; dungeon walkthrough: Crypt of the Circade.
2. Timed: Fort Kearnhold siege (~3h) — ranked Moranite after burning the Skylantern.
3. Overworld: Collector Crates, Glades Dendrit chests, or Hark the Collector rows on the item page.
4. Cogah supplement: drink The Cogah Elixir before Agari on the world-boss-agari route — not the only Moranite path; see elite hunting for Cogah mechanics.
5. Buy-out: community catalog 1,500 Dracs or Kith of Kings bundles (community catalog).

Sappheline (Rare)

Often farmed on the same Kearnhold southeast crypt loop as Moranite. Full community catalog table: Sappheline item page. Pair with Moranite and Crypt of the Circade for sarcophagus routes. Siege rewards (Mirifuir, Curlail, Kearnhold) can supplement — secondary to crypt/sarcophagus routes per item-page notes.

Metal scraps overview

Soulframe has three common metal scraps (no separate “Scrap Copper” item on community catalog). All three list Avakot merchant — 150 Dracs, qty 1 on community catalog (Preludes 15).

Hotfix 13 (Jul 23): Weapon Racks (Sword/Polearm) now always drop resources — official notes say respawn frequency is slightly lower. In parties, only the player who interacts with a rack sees the drop (multiplayer co-op).

Dropped by Sproutfolk enemies. Used in starter weapon crafts and consumables.

Best Source

• Every Sproutfolk kill drops Fronds

Recommended Route

1. Southern Midrath low-level areas have dense Sproutfolk
2. Camps respawn quickly after clearing
3. Good for practicing combat while farming

Weapons & Tempers (Preludes 15)

Live in Preludes 15: Most 1-star and 2-star weapons drop fully built from enemies, chests, and activities — preview Craftwork and Tempers before pickup. 3-star paths split: Marrow's Bane, Gathannan, etc. still use fragments → craft at Tuvalkane; Purity drops whole from Mendicant King, then Reforge (instant). Forged results get random Craftwork. Refine favourites with Chordstones (farm Lampyrites from sieges, Cogah, chests). See Preludes 15 notes.

Lampyrite → Chordstone → Refine loop

Farm Lampyrites from sieges (Mirifuir, Kearnhold, Curlail, Turret Jotar), Cogah Agari kills, and dungeon Rare Chests — Hotfix 8 raised Lampyrite rates in Dermak Undercity, Rovgot (Fallen Skycastle), and Glades of Andurin. Cast Chordstone tiers at Tuvalkane, then Refine keeper whole-weapon drops on the Refine tab. Walkthrough: Chordstone refining · metal queue (separate track): Oden & Tempering.

New Ode'n drops (P15)

| Weapon | Type | community catalog farm focus | |--------|------|-------------------| | Veilk | Polearm | Discharged Nimrod, Polearm Rack | | Ilverac | Long blade | Gruul Seeker Ruthos, Sinecure-errant Vella | | Vrusht-IX | Heavy mace | Sinecure Elite Soldier (Mace), Polearm Rack | | Grinn | Short blade | Siege of Turret Jotar, Nimrod, Sinecure foes |

Legacy fragment table (3-star & special unlocks)

Many entries below are still valid for 3-star crafts or quest unlocks — not the primary path for common weapons anymore.

Weapons no longer only drop as fragments for most tiers — verify each weapon's catalog page for P15 farmMethod notes.

Fragment Sources by Weapon

| Weapon | Fragment Source | |--------|---------------| | Vetch (Long Blade) | Sparrow's Tales quest rewards | | Unsula (Short Blades) | Rare chests | | Juniper (Bow) | Music Shrines — whole bow (P15); legacy: hidden chest fragments | | Rook (Polearm) | Kill Corrupted Stag at night / Sparrow's Tales — vs Gathannan | | Igne Mora (Long Blade) | Find and absorb Fenn Jotar's soul in Dermak Undercity | | Duhk Halic (Polearm) | Heal corrupted World Trees | | Navalha (Long Blade) | The Wreck of Mestra Carmo quest reward |

Crafting Flow

1. Collect enough fragments (check progress in Codex) — or pick up a whole 1–2★ drop and skip fragment farming
2. Gather required crafting materials
3. Craft at Tuvalkane's station in the Nightfold (3★) or Refine whole weapons with Chordstones
4. Requires completing The Steelsinger quest first for the forge unlock

For the Lampyrite → Chordstone pipeline, see Lampyrite → Chordstone → Refine loop above.

Dracs (Currency)

Universal in-game currency for purchases and dialogue options.

Best Sources

• Breaking containers: Barrels and crates are the most consistent Dracs source
• Dermak Undercity: Container-dense, ideal for Dracs farming — see Dermak Undercity guide
• Enemy kills: Small amounts per kill
• Sparrow's Tales: Procedurally generated short quests

---

Ode'n Moaners (XP Farming)

Special rock structures found near water.

Farming Method

• Locate Ode'n Moaners (strange rock structures near water)
• Destroy both of their heads
• Grants weapon XP (community-reported — verify in your client)
• Reloading the area resets them for repeated farming

Recommended Use

• Quick weapon leveling without combat difficulty

Agari World Bosses

Mini-bosses across Midrath. community catalog indexes overworld map pins and dungeon-only Agari rows with 30-minute respawn — plus three siege waypoints (~3h) and separate event rows that do not use the Agari timer.

Full location table: World boss Agari · Cogah mechanics: Elite hunting · Moranite supplement: Moranite item page.

Key Info

• Standard Agari: 30 min respawn (community catalog); Mirifuir / Kearnhold / Curlail sieges use ~3h cadence
• Virtue Lith removed in P15
• Every Agari kill drops Agaric Mushroom → craft The Cogah Elixir

Recommended Strategy

1. Use the Agari Timer for 30 min overworld/dungeon Agari only
2. Gather ore nodes and break containers while traveling between spawns
3. Co-op kills are faster — learn each boss's 2–3 attack patterns
4. Pair siege loops when Agari rows are on cooldown (see world-boss-agari)

---

General Farming Tips

1. Use the Agari Timer — track boss respawns, never miss a kill window
2. Combine routes — gather materials while traveling between objectives
3. Break every container — seems minor but adds up significantly
4. Dermak Undercity is the best early farm — container-dense, repeatable (community — verify)
5. Spectral Sight finds hidden loot — many chests and materials require it
6. Sparrow's Tales fill gaps — procedural short quests reward materials and XP
7. community catalog spawns randomly — check community catalog prices on item pages before buying
8. Hotfix 12 (Jul 15): party leave/rejoin loot exploit patched — co-op farm rates from older guides are unverified; confirm drops after grouping up (multiplayer co-op)
9. Hotfix 13 (Jul 23): party chest/rack loot only visible to the opener — coordinate who breaks weapon racks in co-op (multiplayer co-op)
10. Hotfix 14 (Jul 29): party Temper on rejoin and rack/chest pickup presentation from weapon racks and chests patched — see multiplayer co-op
