Dominating the wilds of Pandora demands the fiercest weaponry. But crafting such power requires the finest ingredients: Superior and Exquisite materials. How do you track down these coveted treasures? This guide will equip you with the knowledge to forge weapons worthy of a Na’vi warrior.
Superior and Exquisite materials stand at the pinnacle of rarity in Avatar: Frontier of Pandora, distinguished by their distinct colors when scanned with your Na’vi senses. Superior materials emanate a regal purple hue, while Exquisite materials gleam with a captivating gold tint.
Clan Favor Exchange
The easiest route to obtaining these coveted materials is through direct exchange with Na’vi merchants using “Clan Favor.” To unlock higher-quality materials from these merchants, invest in the “Renowned Crafter” skill found in the Memories of the Maker skill tree.
Hunting and Collecting
If Clan Favor is scarce, your next best option is to embark on the journey of hunting and collecting. Utilize your Hunter’s Guide to identify the specific material you seek and its common locations. The guide provides information on both common and rarer versions of materials, guiding you to the optimal spots for finding Superior or Exquisite specimens.
1. Pristine Plant-Based Materials
For plant-based materials, perfection is key. Ensure a “pristine” collection by delicately executing the gathering minigame. Hold the right trigger gently and find the optimal angle before plucking. Moreover, seize the opportunity to collect during optimal conditions such as rain, sunlight, day, or night. While these actions won’t upgrade a Fine material to Superior, they do enhance the quality of already rare Superior or Exquisite materials.
2. Clean and Merciful Kills for Hunting-Based Materials
When dealing with hunting-based materials, precision is paramount. Achieve clean kills by targeting an animal’s weak spot, and aim for merciful kills by minimizing the number of shots, ideally accomplishing one-shot kills. To further enhance your hunting prowess, advance through the “Memories of the Hunter” skill tree, unlocking abilities that facilitate clean and merciful kills.
Tips for Crafting Success
In addition to the above strategies, consider these tips to elevate your crafting game:
- Set Difficulty in Options: Adjust the difficulty of the gathering minigame in the options menu to suit your preferences and avoid potential damage to your materials.
- Memories of the Hunter Skill Tree: Progress through the “Memories of the Hunter” skill tree to unlock abilities that optimize your hunting results.
Armed with this knowledge, crafting superior gear in Avatar: Frontier of Pandora should now be a more straightforward and rewarding endeavor. May your crafting endeavors lead you to wield the most formidable weapons in this enchanting virtual world. Happy hunting!
