Gathering ingredients is something you will be doing fairly often in Atelier Ryza 3, as these will be the backbone of the items you create during Synthesis. Each ingredient has different traits and quality, but there’s one way you can get the highest quality ingredients the most often.
Enter rare ingredients, which you will be able to occasionally find in certain areas of the map. These will automatically be of higher quality, and sometimes will have Super Traits that you can bring to the items you Synthesize. Here’s how you can go about finding these rare ingredients for yourself.
How To Find Rare Ingredients
In order to spot rare ingredients, you will need to pay attention to the symbol above the retrievable ingredient. If it is white, it is a regular item, but if it is gold, you have found yourself a rare ingredient. It will also have gold sparkles shining around it, making it easier to spot.
When searching for rare ingredients, usually you’ll find them spread around large areas with regular ingredients surrounding them. Also, if you find a rare ingredient in one location, often times if you return to the area there will still be rare ingredients for you to gather. So, make note of these locations when you find them if you want to return to get a high quality version of the ingredient.
Now that you are aware of how you can spot rare ingredients in the world, we are going to provide you with some early game locations for rare ingredients.
