Monster Hunter Rise: Where To Find Carbalite Ore (& What…

Players looking to live their monster-hunting fantasies have Monster Hunter Rise to thank for rather engaging experiences. After all, not only do players choose their own weapons in Monster Hunter, but they may also team up with other players and even gather resources to make their own weapons. This crafting aspect of Monster Hunter games gives players a more personal experience with their hunting experience.

Moreover, players may be able to make their resource-gathering and crafting process more intensive by studying available resources more efficiently. In this case, Carbalite Ore is one of the most flexible components found in Monster Hunter Rise. However, how exactly can players capitalize Carbalite Ore into their crafting experience?

What Is Carbalite Ore?

Before players proceed to grab Carbalite Ore as a Material in Monster Hunter Rise, it may help to first understand the nature of the item. At its core, Carbalite Ore is a Material that is mostly acquired from Mining Outcrops around the game world. Carbalite Ore is also a frequent reward of High-Ranking Quests, and may be acquired from certain monsters to craft more powerful sets of Monster Hunter Rise Armor and even Weapons. Due to its nature as a rather rare item, Carbalite Ore is an often sought-out Material to craft powerful gear. Other relevant statistics related to the Carbalite Ore are:

Rarity: 6

Acquiring Carbalite Ore

Players of Monster Hunter Rise who fancy Carbalite Ore may be able to find them through a variety of means. However, the percentages of acquiring Carbalite Ore aren’t as high as fans might expect from any of these sources. As such, Hunters who plan on using Carbalite Ore for their gear may want to strategically plan for its acquisition in the Monster Hunter game, especially since Carbalite Ore farming can become quite grindy if players are not aware of its sources. Here are some of its most common locations:

Monster: Basarios

In Monster Hunter Rise, only the Basarios drops Carbalite Ore upon being killed or after doing certain activities. This is a Large Monster that is often considered the younger version of the more powerful Gravios, explaining why its body may contain the rather rare Material. Players who want to acquire Carbalite Ore from this Fire-type monster may want to don their best Monster Hunter Riise build and acquire the Ore through a variety of means:

Reward (Target) - 12%
Carving (Body) - 10%
Carving (Tail) - 10%
Carving (Back) - 60%
Broken Part (Chest) - 25%
Broken Part (Back) - 40%
Dropped (Flinch) - 31%
Dropped (Wyvern Riding) - 39%
From Palico - 26%

Gathering: Master, High Rank

Due to its nature as a rather rare material, players may only acquire Carbalite Ore from a select number of locations throughout the game’s overworld. This makes Carbalite Ore all the more desirable, especially for higher-level Monster Hunter Rise builds. Moreover, players may only be able to mine Carbalite Ore from select High Rank and Master Rank locations, with extremely specific spots in these areas. For reference, here are areas players may want to visit for Carbalite Ore:

Fighting Monsters in Monster Hunter Rise

Players who want to grind for Carbalite Ore may also do so through Quests, although Carbalite Ore is often offered in this manner as Quest Rewards similar to how other rare items work with certain Monster Hunter bosses. However, Quests that offer Carbalite Ore as rewards only occur beginning from 5-Stars and ending with certain 7-Star Quests. Not only that, but the drop rates associated with these Quests also are not as high as players anticipate. Here are the Quests where the Carbalite Ore is a potential reward:

5* - Flooded Forest Fiasco - 13%
5* - Grasp the Great Sword - 10%

Using Carbalite Ore

Similar to most Materials in Monster Hunter Rise, Carbalite Ore is almost always a component of various Weapons and Armor.

In fact, a lot of the weapon sets that require Carbalite Ore as a Material fall on the High Rank and Master Rank sets, which can be annoying in the Monster Hunter game as it can stunt player growth for those players who don’t know where to get the material.
