How to farm Scarletthorn in Wuthering Waves

Scarletthorn doesn’t bloom like a flower — instead, you’ll need to keep an eye out for crimson-hued mineral clusters with sharp, needle-like formations.

These are typically found on rocky surfaces, often alongside other ores like Floramber.

Once you spot a Scarletthorn deposit, it’s time to gather your bounty. The good news is you don’t need any special tools.
