Purecrystal location in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Flooded Forest
Purecrystal locations are fairly easy to find in Sunbreak.

Purecrystal is obtained from mining nodes in the Flooded Forest (Master Rank). While you can gather Purecrystal while hunting, we recommend equipping the Leather X armor set and selecting the Flooded Forest Expedition Tour. 

This will enable you to leisurely go around the map collecting all the Purecrystals you need, without having to slay any beasts. The Geologist skill from the Leather X armor will also increase the number of times you can use a gathering spot, which is particularly handy for mining.

Every Purecrystal location can be found on the map above. We recommend teleporting to the base camp in area 11, then making your way around the map, mining every ore node you come across. 

Simple rinse and repeat until you have all the Purecrystal you need to forge your desired weapons and armor. If you have the Geologist skill equipped, you should quickly find yourself with plenty of Ore in no time.
