In the vibrant and immersive world of Monster Hunter Rise, every hunt brings new challenges and rewards. One such enigmatic resource is the Eroded Skeleton, a sought-after item that holds the potential to forge weapons and armor.
This guide delves into the intricacies of tracking down this elusive material and making the most of it in your quest to become a formidable hunter.
Unveiling the Eroded Skeleton
To embark on the journey of collecting Eroded Skeletons, you must venture into the Low Rank Quests or Expeditions to the Sandy Plains. Within this vast expanse of desert terrain, the Eroded Skeleton can be found nestled within bonepiles scattered throughout the landscape.
To locate these valuable bonepiles, open your map and press X. Then, navigate to the Materials List 2 under the Icon Selection List and select the icon representing bonepiles.
Mastering the Art of Farming
For efficient Eroded Skeleton farming, your primary destination is the Sandy Plains during a Low Rank Expedition. Here, you have the opportunity to explore and harvest each bonepile, amassing a valuable collection of Eroded Skeletons.

Be sure to consult the Locale information before setting out on your expedition, as this can reveal whether an Upsurge of Bonepiles is currently active. To access this information, press R while selecting a Low Rank expedition.
Upsurges, shifts in the distribution of resources, occur in roughly 10-minute intervals. Thus, even if the Sandy Plains lack an Upsurge of Bonepiles when you initiate your expedition, it’s likely to change as you traverse the terrain. Staying attentive to these fluctuations can significantly enhance your Eroded Skeleton farming efficiency.
Sandy Plains: A Treasure Trove of Locations
Every gathering node operates on a 4-5 minute respawn timer. To expedite this process, consider utilizing the Raisin d’etre Dango, a Daily Special Dango available at the Tea Shop.
This delectable treat reduces the respawn time to approximately 3 minutes, granting you more frequent access to precious Eroded Skeletons.
When scouring the Sandy Plains for Eroded Skeletons, keep the following locations in mind:

- Area 1: Southwest of the area marker, nestled within a lower area surrounded by cliffs.
- Area 4: Directly east of the area map marker, near the edge of the map.
- Area 9: Located right on the area marker on the map.
- Area 8: Positioned just above the area marker, in proximity to the rocky area's edge.
- Area 12: To the north of the area marker, within the ruins.
- Area 12 (Underground): Situated directly on the area marker; an additional bonepile can be found to the east. Enter the ruins and access a small room in the south.
- Area 8/5 (Underground): Eastern side of the map, boasting two Bonepiles. One resides atop a cliff facing the ground-level pile. Utilize your Wirebug and Wallrunning abilities to scale the cliff effectively.
This sequence of locations provides an optimal route for your Eroded Skeleton farming expedition.
