Best Monsters to Farm Afflicted Materials

Aim to Break Monster Parts

If you can break a part of a monster's body and finish the quest, you can obtain Afflicted Materials as a reward for breaking said parts. For every broken part and every carve (body or tail), you will have a 40% chance to get Afflicted Materials.

Aim to break as many body parts as you can to stack up bonus rewards at the end of the hunt. Cutting the monster's tail will also net you an extra carve where you may get an extra material!

How to Break Monster Parts

Prioritize Faster Clears in Higher Levels

It is better to prioritize faster clears or hunts in higher Investigation Levels because breaking every part will take up a lot of time. Monsters in higher levels will have higher part health, and can cost you a lot of time in an already long fight.

Eat Dango Weakener Before Hunts

As Afflicted Monsters boast more health than their normal counterparts, it is recommended to choose the Spud-luck Dango and use Hopping Skewers to raise it to Level 4 when eating your meal before hunts.

The Dango Skill Dango Weakener, which is obtained from Spud-luck, can reduce the health of the monster that you will be hunting and can make farming for Afflicted materials easier and faster. Note that this works best for Anomaly Quests as monsters in Anomaly Investigations seem to have fixed health per level.
