Of all the crafting materials inMonster Hunter: World, Warped Bones are among the trickiest to find.Since they only spawn in the dark and deadly Rotten Vale, players will have to spend a lot of time digging through decaying bonepiles and fighting the same couple of monsters repeatedly to get enough to crafttheir next weaponand armor set.

Thankfully, there are some additional methods to harvesting this much-sought-after resource beyond hunting and foraging. These can alleviate a bit of the tedium if one ever needs a break from the least visually pleasing area in the whole game.

Getting Warped Bones From Quests

While not the best method forfarming this rare material, hunters can still passively nab quite a few Warped Bones through rewards given upon completely specific quests. The percentage chances of them appearing as quest rewards are relatively low, as is the quantity given in most cases, however, they still provide a low-effort means to gather Warped Bones while performing a different task.

Getting Warped Bones From Hunting Monsters

The small monster Raphinos can be helpful in this farming pursuit as both low and high-rank investigations (no master-rank ones) of this flying species can yield Warped Bones, albeit rarely. However, out of the dozens of organisms that proliferate this vibrant world,the only monster that naturally drops Warped Bones is the Radobaan.

Though keep in mind that one cannot traditionally carve, break, or harvest the desired material from these huge and spiky monsters;players can only mine Warped Bones from a Radobaan’s back to get themwhen the fiend is incapacitated or otherwise immobile. During combat, this can be tricky, especially since Radobaans are exceptionally resistant tothe Sleep effect(1-star), so players seeking a way to stop this bony beast from moving around without slaying it should implement Paralysis or Stun tactics, as they have average effectiveness (2-stars) on the spiny monster.

Getting Warped Bones From Bonepiles & Tailraider Safaris

The most intuitive method for acquiring Warped Bones is obviously searching the many bonepiles that are scattered around every location in the game, thoughonly bonepiles in the Rotten Vale can drop Warped Bones. It can be tedious to repeatedly search the same series of skeletons over and over, however,searching bonepiles is definitely the fastest and most efficient method for farming Warped Bones.

When one heads to the Rotten Vale, do a circuit of one’s desired route, and then leave before returning to do the same thing. Boring, yes, but drop rates don’t lie; this method will grant the most Warped Bones in the shortest time. Since all bonepiles have the same chance to drop Warped Bones,the optimal farming routeone takes is completely subjective.

If a hunter has more pressing matters to attend to in-game, they can always ask a Felyne friend to help them out in terms of harvesting Warped Bones. One can do so by setting up a Tailraider Safari to the Rotten Vale, which has low odds of allies returning with the desired crafting material, though not much lower than any othermethod of farmingthese rare skeletal pieces. As a passive way to acquire more of these hard-to-find resources, it is surely worth the effort of sending one’s Palico pals on a safari.
