What is Gracium Ore in Monster Hunter Wilds?

Gracium Ore is a valuable High Rank mining material that becomes available only after you’ve:

Completed the Low Rank story campaign.
Defeated the game’s flagship monster.
Unlocked High Rank quests and expeditions.

This shimmering blue-white ore is relatively rare compared to other mining materials, making it a precious resource for crafting some of the game’s most powerful gear.

How to Get Gracium Ore in Monster Hunter Wilds

Gracium Ore can only be found in the High Rank version of the Iceshard Cliffs region. You’ll need to specifically jump into a High Rank expedition to this area – the ore won’t appear in Low Rank expeditions. The best place to farm Gracium Ore is in Area 8 of the Iceshard Cliffs. There are three Mining Outcrops close to each other, and this area is really close to the base camp. To find these spots quickly:

Open your map at the base camp.
Set waypoint markers on a Mining Outcrop in Area 8.
Mount your Seikret and follow the markers.
Mine each outcrop you encounter.

Farming Strategies for Gracium Ore

Since Gracium Ore has a relatively low drop rate, you might not get it on your first try or even on your fifth. Sometimes, Monster Hunter somehow knows what material you are looking for, making it almost impossible to find. Maybe it’s a placebo effect, but who knows?

You can try wearing armor with the Geologist skill to increase your mining yields and consider eating a meal with Truffle Du Conga before mining, which grants you Gatherer Meal to increase the chance of getting Gracium Ore. Nevertheless, if you are having a hard time finding Gracium Ore, here are some methods to help you:

Method 1: Circuit Farming

Create a mining circuit through Area 8.
Hit all three Mining Outcrops in sequence.
Fast travel to Area 18 camp to farm 2 outcrops.
Return to Area 8 after outcrops respawn (approximately 5 minutes).

Method 2: Reload Farming

If you’re short on time and need Gracium Ore quickly:

Mine all outcrops in Area 8 and 18.
Return to the title screen.
Load back in and repeat.
This resets all Mining Outcrops immediately.

So, is Gracium Ore worth farming in Monster Hunter Wilds? Absolutely. Gracium Ore is a bottleneck material for many High Rank progression paths.
