Not all crafting materials in Monster Hunter Rise are solely sourced from mainline quest monsters or 'flagship' monsters. Seasoned players of the franchise are aware that a significant portion of the essential crafting materials originates from the exploration of Monster Hunter Rise's diverse biomes. To be precise, these materials are often obtained by discovering items scattered on the ground, collecting from plant life, extracting from Mining Outcrops, or carving from Small Monsters.

Firestone is a crucial component in Monster Hunter Rise that can be found primarily in Mining Outcrops within both Low-Rank and High-Rank versions of Fire Caverns. While there are quests that offer Firestone as a reward, it is generally more efficient to embark on a Lava Caverns Expedition and gather from all the Mining Outcrops on the map. This method is further expedited if a group of friends play together. As Firestone spawns in both versions of the Lava Caverns, it is a fundamental element in crafting weapons and armor for both Low and High-Rank gameplay. In Monster Hunter games, farming materials is an intrinsic part of the overall gameplay experience, whether it is the recent release Monster Hunter Now or any of the timeless classics. Players often find themselves engrossed in the combat loop of the game, eventually willingly venturing out on expeditions to gather essential materials. The process of exploring maps and collecting plants, bugs, and mining outcrops has a cozy charm to it. Firestone is yet another mineral that players will need in abundance to create the gear they desire in Monster Hunter Rise. To assist in this process, let's delve into the details of this material, as well as its common locations.
