Bonepile Respawn Time

Respawn Every 15mins

The respawn time for bonepiles is 15 minutes. Once collected, you can open up your map and highlight a bonepile to see its respawn timer.

Resting or Quests Forces Respawn

Bonepiles and other gatherable materials on the field will immediately respawn after taking a rest or departing for a quest. By repeatedly accepting quests, gathering, and then returning from quests, players can efficiently farm items without waiting. To do this, you can choose Return from Quest from the Missions & Quests menu.

Pop-Up Camp in Area 6 is Vulnerable

If you set up a camp in the northern part of Area 6, you can shorten the time it takes to visit the bonepiles in the middle level.

There are also ore veins nearby, so it is possible to collect bones and ore at the same time.

How to Collect Bone Materials

Gather from Bonepiles

Bone materials can be obtained from bonepiles found in the field. Open the map to see the locations of bonepiles. If you select a bonepile location, it can be set as a target location and your Seikret will take you there.

Easier to Collect During Fallow

Plenty	Fallow	Inclemency

The amount of gatherable bonepiles in the Scarlet Forest and the Iceshard Cliffs can vary depending on the current weather environment. Since all possible bonepiles appear during the Fallow period, we recommend gathering them during Fallow.

Monsters Turn Into Bonepiles

After a certain amount of time passes, defeated monsters may turn into bonepiles. Like normal bonepiles, you can obtain bone materials from them. This can also happen even if you weren't the one to defeat it.

Gather More Bones

Bonepiles created from monster carcasses can give you more bones. While a normal bonepile gives you only one piece each time, a carcass gives you an extra one. Furthermore, a carcass can give you a third one if you have the Geologist skill slotted into your equipment.

Obtain via Carving or Rewards

Bone materials can also be obtained by carving Monsters or by completing quests. The type and rarity of the bone material may vary depending on the type of monster and quest.
