Monster Hunter Rise Frocium: Location, Crafting & Use

Frocium is a useful item in Monster Hunter Rise, and you can use it to craft different Weapons and Armor sets. As it is a master rank ore, you won’t get it before you hit the master rank. Master Rank was added in the new Sunbreak DLC. While mining for it, remember that it has an 8 Rarity, so you won’t come across it easily.

What Is Frocium In Monster Hunter Rise?

Let’s first overview the Frocium and its uses in MHR:

How To Get To Master Rank

• To collect Frocium, achieve Master Rank by unlocking the Sunbreak DLC.
• Defeat Thunder Serpent Narwa to unlock the Sunbreak storyline.
• Talk to Rondine at the bridge entrance to Kamura Village to trigger the ‘Uninvited Guest – Hunt a Daimyo Hermataur’ Urgent Quest.
• This quest marks the start of Master Rank; defeat the Daimyo Hermataur to unlock Master Rank at MR1.

Frocium Location

Okay, so you’ve made it into Master Rank, and the Master Rank items are finally available. Now, you can finally find Frocium at its mining locations. But before you start mining, here’s what you need to do. I suggest that you should try to get the Level 3 Geologist skill. It will allow you to gather materials from the mining outcrops one extra time. You can eat a few of the Dango to improve your Stamina consumption.

If you still feel that your stamina consumption is too high, then you might want to consider reading our Monster Hunter Rise Latent Power guide to reducing stamina consumption.

Okay, so once you’re ready to explore the world for Frocium Ore, it’s time to head towards the Frost Islands. Then, Open the detailed view of the map by pressing Y. On the map, you’ll find several options, such as zooming in and out, fast traveling, or searching for items/materials.

Now, navigate to the ‘Materials 2’ section on the map screen. Then, scroll down until you see the ‘Mining Outcrop’ option. Click on it, and the map will then pinpoint the location of the Mining Outcrop. You’ll have to head over there and mine it.

Mining Outcrops are the primary source of ores in Monster Hunter Rise. There are crystals in each of the game’s areas. All you have to do is walk towards them, and a button will prompt up. Press the button and forage away.

As for the prominent places to look for, the Frocium on Frost Island in Monster Hunter Rise, you’ll have to check on the edges of cliffs. You’ll get 4 or 8 pieces of Frocium once you pick up the Mining Outcrop.

Secret Locations Of Frocium

While you’re harvesting or mining the materials in Monster Hunter Rise, it’s better to check out the map. The map will indicate where you can find the next Mining Outcrop. That will reduce your time as you’ll have to spend less time exploring the map for them.

There’s no fixed location where you can find Frocium ore. But during our search for Frocium, I got lucky and found our required amount for the first time in a few minutes. It took a lot more than expected when we were searching for it during our guide.
