The best part of Monster Hunter: World, outside of gathering together with like-minded hunters, is bringing your latest haul back to camp and seeing what cool helmet, sword, axe and/or other equipment you can forge. But how common is it to get back to the Workshop, only for Smithy to inform you you’re still missing one or two vital crafting ingredients?
We’ve compiled a list of all the drops from the Monster Hunter: World bestiary to make it easier for players to c plan ahead for the items they will need. (Even if you don’t have enough research to see the loot tables for your target in the Monster Field Guide.) There may still be a few gaps as we round out the research portion of the game, but the data below should be more than enough for anyone with less than 30 hours of play time. And if you spot something we left out, just let us know down in the comments section.
All “+” items come from High Rank versions of the corresponding creature. Anything tagged with an “(R)" is one of the rarer drops on that monster’s loot table. Those marked (DM) are dropped materials that hunters must pick up off the ground after breaking. Reward items are claimed with the rest of your Special Rewards after completing quests and investigations.
