Monster Hunter Rise has released for PC and many new players are diving into the series for the first time.

Many of those new players might not have a clue where to begin or how to find some of the more vital resources such as the Dragonhusk Shard.

Dragonhusk Shards can be found in bonepiles in the Flooded Forest, Frost Islands, and Lava Caverns while alternatively obtained through quest rewards. The Shards can then be used in forging weapons and armor.

Locations with Dragonhusk Shards

Players can gather Dragonhusk Shards from bonepiles. These are different nodes that respawn every 4-5 minutes. These can be farmed for resources and the respawn rate can be cut down to just three minutes with the Raisin d'etre Dango.

Here are all locations with a Dragonhusk Shard bonepile in Monster Hunter Rise:

  • Frost Islands: Area 3, Area 8, Area 9, and underground in Area 12
  • Flooded Forest: Area 13, Area 11, and Area 7
  • Lava Caverns: Area 2, Area 5, underground in Area 10, and underground in Area 8

You can map out your own routes through these areas to create a farming path. This will ensure that each bonepile respawns before you make it back during the rotation.
