All Wild Hearts crafting materials and how to acquire them

As players explore Wild Hearts, they will see a wealth of crafting materials they can get. The vast majority of these will come from slaying Kemonos. Depending on the tier of the Giant Kemono, these materials will also vary. If you want the best materials, you must tackle the more deadly varieties of Kemono.

That said, minor/small Kemono in Wild Hearts drop crafting materials you can farm up. Some materials exist in the open world, varying from region to region.

All Kemono crafting materials in Wild Hearts

Most of your crafting materials in Wild Hearts will come from the heat of battle. That means primarily fighting the giant Kemono that shows up in the wild. Not all of these items are obtainable solely by killing your foe, either. Like in Monster Hunter and other games, players sometimes need to break off parts of the enemy.

In this section, I’ll go over every known giant Kemono drop in Wild Hearts for each tier of the monster that’s known. There are Normal, Mighty, Volatile, and Deeply Volatile. Not all monsters even show up in the Normal tier. The first two chapters of the game have Normal foes. Mighty is introduced in Chapter 3 and 4, and Volatile/Deeply Volatile appear in Chapter 5.

If you want to fight Deeply Volatile foes, you’ll also need a specific amount of Keystones in the region you’re exploring, so this will take more work to fight in Wild Hearts.

This list could expand in the future, as more difficulties of monsters become known, and other materials appear in Wild Hearts. These aren't the only ways to farm up materials in the game, either. Players must also be aware of Small Kemono, which offers their own resources to unlock.

Small Kemono in Wild Hearts and what items they unlock

Small Kemono are less powerful creatures throughout each region in Wild Hearts. You can either pet these or kill them. Either way, you can pick up a valuable resource. If you want to pet them, crouch and sneak up behind them, and you will receive a prompt when close enough.

Of course, you could also murder these innocent creatures for meat or other useful crafting materials. These Wild Hearts creatures will be divided up into regions for easy searching.

However, these are even smaller creatures you can work on capturing for materials in Wild Hearts. These require using a Karakuri, and each region has its own tiny critters.

Wild Hearts creature materials using Wildlife Cages and Pens

Using the Wildlife Cage and Pen Karakuri, you can catch tiny critters in each region. Each of these has specific items that you can pick up from them. You can also keep them as pets to get items. These critters drop 1 item each time.

Once you've farmed items on these creatures, you will need to hunt a large Kemono in Wild Hearts, to get these to reset and farm more items. You can also switch the animals in your cages and pens, putting the swapped monster back into your inventory.

Simply exploring areas in Wild Hearts can also lead to fruitful, useful items to collect. These are also separated by region, so it's easy to know where to go for specific items.

Wild Hearts open-world materials per region

Some raw materials in Wild Hearts are common, while others are only found in specific regions of the map. You can easily find these as you explore, but you might also want to use Flying Vines to acquire some off-the-beaten path. Anytime you find these materials in the wild, grab them.
