Forspoken Resources Guide: Where to find Wild Musk, Nuggets, Feathers, Crag Grass and more

Take on the Tantas with a store cupboard full of powerful ingredients!

Guide by James Billcliffe Guides Editor

Published on Feb. 3, 2023

Across Frey’s quest to defeat the corrupted Tantas of Athia in Forspoken, she gathers many different kinds of resources to brew potions, craft items and improve her powers and equipment.

Some types of plants, ore and gemstones are more plentiful than others, but most of the time that’s because they’re useful ingredients that get used up in large amounts.

Because the different categories of resources in Forspoken are so numerous and disparately spread, we’ve opted to organise them into one convenient page that you can skip around at your leisure.

But while it might not be immediately obvious what everything you acquire is for, once you start to unlock the magic skills which allow Frey to improve her best gear, you’ll begin to burn through resources much more quickly.

Remember to fully upgrade your equipment, you need to unlock the magic skills Vivify from Purple Magic, Amplify from Red Magic, and Fortify from Blue Magic.

The below list isn’t exhaustive of every single item in Forspoken, but should allow you to upgrade pretty much everything you want to as you roll the credits on your adventure and beyond.
