>>>HOW DO I GET LOTS OF MONSTER PARTS?
All sources of loot from monsters (shinies, tail carves, captures, body carves) have the exact same drop table and chances. It's often a complete waste of time to try and cut a monster's tail for one extra carve, as the bulk of rewards is going to be from shinies. That one extra loot is useless. There's only one reason to cut tails and that's explain in the next question.

Guiding Lands monsters drop shinies whenever they stagger, whenever their parts break or whenever you wallbang them. 1 for each specifically. It's possible for a monster drops multiple shinies if these things happen simultaneously, however.

Just hunt a monster the way you'd always do, but be careful; if you do shit like stunlocking a monster with status and traps, it will not be able to stagger at all, so you will miss out on shinies. It's time to get gud.

As of writing, there's also an INTENDED FEATURE NOT A BUG where equipping Geology 1  lets you grab shinies twice so go nuts


>>>FUCK THE GUIDING LANDS I HAVE TO DELEVEL A REGION JUST TO GET THIS ONE NON TEMPERED MATERIAL AGAIN
As long as you've gathered a monster's material once, that material will forever show up at the melder's item melding screen, and can be melded at a 1:1 ratio using the tempered equivalent. That said, TRY TO AT LEAST GATHER ONE OF EACH MONSTER'S MATERIAL. All you have to do is grab their shinies, so just wallbang a new monster you encounter one or two times until it drops its unique material.

>>WHY CAN'T I MELD TEMPERED DRAGON STUFF?
Cause those are the apex materials. That's your ultimate endgame. Have fun

>>>WHAT ABOUT OTHER BONES AND CRYSTALS? YOU KNOW THE PINK/GREEN/ORANGE/YELLOW COLORED ONES?
You have to gather them from bonepiles and mining nodes around the guiding lands. Each region has 2 main areas. These main areas are the ones that spawn bonepiles and mining nodes. These are area 6 and 7 for the forest region, 8 and 9 for the wildspire region, 10 and 11 for the coral region, 12 and 13 for the rotted region and 14 and 15 for the volcanic region.
