Monster Hunter Wilds does not exactly hand out its most prestigious trinkets to anyone with a net and a dream. The Rarity 6 Special Items are the botanical, geological, and occasionally gross little prizes that make collectors mumble about moon phases and rotting carcasses. Most hunters will stumble through dozens of hunts without ever seeing one. That is normal. That is also why the Explorer of the Eastlands achievement exists.
The task sounds simple on paper: find ten Rarity 6 Special Items. There are eleven in total, so a hunter can miss one and still escape with the achievement. In practice, the game hides these items behind weather windows, emergence events, and a full moon that apparently never lines up with anyone's sleep schedule.
How Many Rarity 6 Special Items Are There?
The Explorer of the Eastlands achievement asks for ten Rarity 6 Special Items. There are 11 total. Here is the full list:
Great Windward Aloe
Thundering Fulgurite
Eternal Scarlet Amber
Queensbloom Pollen
Bulky Treasure
Antimite Mass
Large Goldenscale Vase
Time-honed Wylk Gem
Nightflower Pollen
Genesis Opal
Wyvernsprout
Some are simple gathering point finds. Others demand a specific map event to pop up before they even exist. Almost all of them reward patience, memorization, and a willingness to sit in a tent waiting for the weather to cooperate. The items also double as trading fodder with various NPCs.

Where To Find Every Rarity 6 Special Item
The game arranges these treasures in the Item Box in a particular order, so hunters can check what they are missing and then plan a route. Below, each item gets its moment.
Great Windward Aloe 🌵
Area: Windward Plains
Event: Great Windward Succulent Emergence
The Great Windward Aloe comes from the Great Windward Succulent. Hunters should look for it only during the Plenty. The emergence event must also be active. Once it appears, a hunter on foot can grab it once. The Botanist skill can increase the haul, which is a nice reason to bring that skill along.
Thundering Fulgurite ⚡
Area: Windward Plains
Event: Thundering Fulgurite Emergence
This item only shows up during the Sandtide. Hunters also need the Thundering Fulgurite Emergence event. The fastest approach is to camp and set the environment to Inclemency, then wait. It is not glamorous, but it works.
Eternal Scarlet Amber 🔴
Area: Scarlet Forest
Event: Colossal Amber Emergence
Eternal Scarlet Amber appears on Colossal Amber deposits. The catch is that Colossal Amber only shows up during the Colossal Amber Emergence event. Strangely, this event favors the Fallow rather than the more generous Plenty. Hunters should keep an eye on the environment forecast.
Queensbloom Pollen 🌸
Area: Scarlet Forest
Event: Blooms during the Plenty in daytime
Queensbloom Pollen is more complicated. The Rafflesia Bloom gathering points only open during the Plenty. Usually only one or two are open at a time. They also do not show up on the map until they are open. Once daytime arrives during the Plenty, the blooms open and stay open for the rest of that weather period.
Bulky Treasure 💰
Area: Scarlet Forest
Event: Bountiful Treasure Emergence
Scarlet Forest gets another exclusive item. Bulky Treasures only appear during the Bountiful Treasure Emergence event. This event occurs in the Plenty. Hunters looking for this item should wait for that weather condition and then search.
Antimite Mass 🪲
Area: Oilwell Basin
Event: Giant Hopper Crystal Emergence
Antimite Mass belongs to the Oilwell Basin. It appears only during the Giant Hopper Crystal Emergence event. The gathering point looks like Giant Hopper Crystal, which is fitting. These are most common during the Plenty, but they do not linger long. Hunters should move quickly once they appear.
Large Goldenscale Vase 🏺
Area: Iceshard Cliffs
Event: Remarkable Relic Emergence
The Iceshard Cliffs are not overflowing with Rarity 6 Special Items, but this vase is there. It comes from the Remarkable Relic gathering point during a Remarkable Relic Emergence. The event usually appears during the Plenty.
Time-honed Wylk Gem 💎
Area: Windward Plains, Oilwell Basin, and Ruins of Wyveria
Event: Wylky Crystal Outcrop Emergence
Time-honed Wylk Gems are spread across three areas. They tend to appear near the Landspine. Hunters still need the Wylky Crystal Outcrop Emergence event. This one can happen during both the Fallow and the Inclemency, which is almost generous.
Nightflower Pollen 🌙
Area: Windward Plains and Scarlet Forest
Event: Nighttime on a Full Moon
Nightflower Pollen is the chaos item. It only exists in two specific spots in each of the two areas. The Botanist skill does not activate on it, so hunters get one pollen per bloom. The Ephemeral Bloom only appears during a Full Moon, which happens once every seven days. Hunters should not sleep directly into nighttime. Instead, rest until evening and let night arrive naturally. That is when the Ephemeral Blossom blooms. The minimap filters can help locate it.
Genesis Opal ✨
Area: Windward Plains, Oilwell Basin, and Ruins of Wyveria
Event: Magnificent Fossil Emergence
Genesis Opal is gathered from Magnificent Fossils. These fossils only appear during the Magnificent Fossil Emergence event. It can happen in most weather conditions, but the Fallow and Inclemency are the most common windows.
Wyvernsprout 🍄
Area: Anywhere
Event: Rotten Carcass of a Small Monster
Wyvernsprout is strange. A hunter defeats a Small Monster and then waits for the body to rot. Usually, the carcass becomes a bonepile after a few minutes. Rarely, it turns into a Carrion Mushroom instead, marked by visible mycelium. Gathering from that mushroom yields the Wyvernsprout. The spawn rate is low, so hunters might want to defeat a few small monsters and practice patience.
Final Thoughts 🎯
Finding ten of these eleven items sounds like a scavenger hunt designed by a very proud environmental director. It is also completely doable with enough tent waiting, map checking, and small-monster murder. The upside is that all those Rarity 6 Special Items can be traded for other rare goodies. The Explorer of the Eastlands achievement is just a bonus, along with the smug satisfaction of knowing exactly when the moon is up.
Hunters should bring snacks. Lots of snacks.
Data referenced from TrueAchievements underscores why long-tail collectibles like Monster Hunter Wilds’ Rarity 6 Special Items (e.g., full-moon-only Nightflower Pollen or emergence-gated Wylk/Gensis nodes) typically become “checklist” objectives for completionists: achievement-focused communities tend to document the exact conditions and repeatable loops that turn rare, weather-locked spawns into reliable progress toward goals like Explorer of the Eastlands.
