Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, like its predecessor, will require you to find and collect various resources to upgrade your adventuring and hunting equipment. These resources can be brought back to Elgado Outpost and submitted to the smithy to craft gear for your journeys and hunts. Meldspar Ore is one such resource and while it’s not as rare as the area-specific Sapphirons or the ultra-rare Ultimas Crystals, it’s still considered an uncommon ore which can be tricky to find.
How to Find Meldspar Ores in Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak
First off, you’ll not find Meldspar ore outcrops in lower-rank regions. So if you’re still at a low level- you’ll have to play the game more and unlock Master Rank areas. You’ll also need to make sure you have at least 3 points in Geologist’s skill. This helps you detect upsurges in mining outcrops and choose the best ones to mine. A good upsurge can even lead up to 12 Meldspar Ores in a single mining deposit. Ideally, if you want to farm it in one go we recommend using Expedition Mode. These ores also have a slightly orange glow to help you better locate them in the scenery. With those out of the way, here are some ideal locations to farm for Meldspar ores:
Lava Caverns
This location is in the base game itself so if you want to have some ready before downloading the latest expansion pack- you can do so. You can take the underground trail of narrow tunnels heading northeast to get a hefty sum of ores in one go.
Flooded Forest
Mining ores scattered in this region yield Meldspar Ores. Here are some of their locations-
The Citadel
Meldspar Ore outcrops are also scattered around this area and you can find them roughly at these locations-
It’s advisable for players to bring their Palamute to make movement around the map faster and easier. To avoid multiple trips it’s also recommended players bring a couple of Palicos to contain a whole bunch of ores which may not all fit into their inventory.
