Discover all Scarletite locations in Final Fantasy XVI, including Hunt rewards and side quest drops. Learn where to find this crucial crafting material to forge powerful gear.
Alright, so you're looking to track down some Scarletite in Final Fantasy XVI? It's a pretty important crafting material, mainly used for some of the best gear. You'll snag most of it from taking down powerful Hunts, but a couple of side quests toss some your way too. Let's break down exactly where you can find it.
You can find the locations for all the Hunts by checking the Mark Bills on the Hunt Board whenever you're ready to go hunting.
Here's a rundown of where to find Scarletite:
| Activity | Name | Location | Quantity |
| Hunt | Dozmare | Norvent Valley, near Lostwing Village (Caer Norvent River Gate Obelisk) | 1 |
| Hunt | Fastitocalon | Northeast Velkroy Desert | 2 |
| Hunt | The Ten of Clubs | Vamare (south central Field of Corava) | 1 |
| Hunt | Holy Trumpitour | Cellar Passage (south of Lostwing) | 1 |
| Side Quest | Hot Water | Dalimil Bathhouse, Drake’s Breath | 1 |
Scarletite is essential for a couple of key crafting recipes. First up is the Drakeslayer Set, which you'll get after finishing the 'Blacksmith’s Blues' side quest. You'll need two Scarletite for that. Later on, you'll need it again to craft the legendary Excalibur weapon. You'll get the Design Draft for Excalibur from the 'Blacksmith Blues II' side quest, which unlocks after you've progressed through the main story to the 'Out of the Shadow' quest.
Once you've gathered up your Scarletite, you'll need to head over to Blackthorne. You can find him at The Black Hammer in the Hideaway, always busy at his anvil. Just talk to him, select the equipment you want to craft, and if you've got all the necessary materials, he'll forge it for you on the spot.
