Dropped by defeating Spectra — crab-like creatures on coastal shorelines. Not a guaranteed drop every kill, but the rate is high enough to farm quickly.
How to obtain
Dropped by defeating Spectra — crab-like creatures on coastal shorelines. Not a guaranteed drop every kill, but the rate is high enough to farm quickly.
From many early Hearth positions, heading due north reaches a long shoreline where Spectra cluster — use that coast as your primary farm loop.
Spectra on the beach — defeat them to collect Carapace.
Used for
Crafting recipes
Equipment and gear upgrades
Locations
Northern shorelines (long coast north of starter-adjacent Hearth positions)
Coastal beach Spectra spawn clusters
Head north from your Hearth to the long northern shoreline shown here.
Farming tips
Walk the beach to chain multiple Spectra encounters in one run.
After clearing a section, wait for respawns and repeat along the same coast.
Drop rate is generous — a short shoreline pass usually yields enough for the next upgrade batch.
