Hunting monsters and gathering their parts aren’t the only means of acquiring materials to craft your equipment in Monster Hunter World. Gathering hotspots are scattered throughout various locales and gathering from them is an integral part of Monster Hunter. Here are all the Monster Hunter World ore locations, including Hoarfrost Reach from the Iceborne expansion.
The yellow circles are blue mining mining nodes and are more common.
