Rachnoid Mesmersilk is a new crafting material found in Monster Hunter Rise's Sunbreak expansion. Hunters can use it to make several weapons and armor sets, and this guide will go into detail about where it's found and how to get it.
Rachnoid Mesmersilk's in-game description calls it "the strongest thread" that a Rachnoid can make and can hold its own weight many times.
Where to Find Rachnoid Mesmersilk
Monster Hunter Rise players must be in Master Rank to acquire Rachnoid Mesmersilk. The material can only be obtained by carving a small monster called Rachnoid, which has a big white bulb on its back. They also breathe fire, so players should be careful when attempting to kill one.
These small creatures can be found in Master Rank Lava Caverns and Sandy Plains biomes, but it's far easier to find in the former area. Through carving, there's a high 53% chance for the Rachnoid Mesmersilk to be obtained. There's also a 15% chance of getting a Tough Claw and a 32% chance of getting Monster Essence.
For hunters that have already made it to the four-star Master Rank questline at the counter, they can find Rachnoids easily by taking on a quest called "Tears for Temnocerans," which requires players to slay 15 Pyrantula or Rachnoid.
By starting this quest, players will see the locations of both creatures on the map indicated by small red dots. Players won't be able to tell which dots are which creatures, but Rachnoids should be hanging out near Zone 13, Zone 11, and Zone 10 in the Lava Caverns.
As for the Rachnoid locations in the Sandy Plains, players should look in Zones 7 and 11. The small monsters can be scared away by large monsters, so make sure to kill and carve them before they try to escape.
