The table below lists the best monsters to hunt for specific Afflicted Materials.
It is recommended to use Light Bowguns when hunting Afflicted Monsters to create some distance between you and a monster which lessens the risk of being hit with a powerful move while dealing damage from far away.

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!

It is better to prioritize faster clears or hunts in higher Investigation Levels because partbreaking 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.
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.
Almost all Rarity 10 Weapons require Afflicted Materials from Afflicted Monsters, alongside Anomaly Tickets.
Sunbreak Weapons List: All Weapon Guides
All Afflicted Materials can be used to augment your weapons and armor at the Smithy. You can put in many types of improvements which boost your stats and decoration slots.
Qurious Crafting:
Weapon and Armor Augments
A bunch of endgame decorations, such as Phoenix Jewel 2 and Cornerstone Jewel 1, can only be unlocked and crafted once you obtain certain Afflicted Materials.
