Best Dragonhusk Shard Farming Route

Frost Islands: Dragonhusk Shard Farming Route

From Area 1 fast travel to Sub-camp 2


From the Main Camp, head to the short cliffs in Area 1. Gather from the bonepile there and then fast travel to Sub-camp 2. Jump down to the lower area and collect the bonepiles inside the large carcass.

Go inside Area 12 then exit to Area 9


Head to Area 12 by entering through Area 10. A single bonepile can be found there but it gives time for the other bonepiles to reset. Proceed to exit the cave, heading to Area 9.

Collect the Area 9 Bonepiles


Once reaching Area 9, you can collect the bonepiles on there. By this time the Bonepiles around the map will refresh, allowing you to repeat the farming cycle again.

Head to the Frost Islands During Bonepile Upsurges

It's most efficient to farm Dragonhusk Shards from the Bonepiles in the Frost Islands.

Also, try to catch the Frost Island expedition tour while it has an Upsurge in Bonepiles. This way, you'll get triple the number of goodies from Bonepiles!
