A simple guide that provides the best locations in Bright Sands for the materials needed to craft an uncommon loadout. Data was collected from The Cycle: Frontier Interactive Map – [thecyclefrontier.wiki] , full credit goes to the fine folks that created the map. I’ve also included location information for Old Currency, Focus Crystals, & Jewelry for K-Marks farming.

Dates and brief description of any updates/edits made to this guide will go here.
 
 
 

THE LOADOUT

If you want to make a farming run for a specific item this section should help. The materials needed to craft the item are in BOLD and the locations with the highest spawn points are the bullets under the materials. These are NOT all the locations for the materials, they are the best locations based on spawn points.
