Mine Mining Outcrops in the Oilwell Basin to get Firestone. In low rank, focus on areas 13–16; in high rank, add areas 4, 6, and 7 to your route. Firestone is a random ore yield, so check several outcrops rather than relying on one.
Where to find Firestone
Firestone comes from Mining Outcrops in the Oilwell Basin. You do not need a mining tool or pickaxe to gather from them. Outcrops can yield different regional ores depending on rank, and Firestone is not guaranteed at every node. [Shacknews; Prima Games; Game8]
To make the nodes easier to locate, open the detailed map and use its icon filters to show Mining Outcrops. [Prima Games]
Which areas to mine
Low rank
Prioritize areas 13 through 16. Shacknews identifies these lower-level Oilwell Basin outcrops as the low-rank Firestone route. [Shacknews]

High rank
Include areas 4, 6, and 7 as well as the lower-level route. Game8’s route visits areas 7, 6, and 4, then continues through areas 14 and 16 near Mining Cave and areas 13 and 17 near Limestone Cavern. [Game8]
How to farm Firestone efficiently
- Filter the detailed map for Mining Outcrops. This makes the gathering nodes easier to spot while moving through the basin. [Prima Games]
- Follow the route for your rank. In low rank, cover areas 13–16. In high rank, start at area 7 from Base Camp, visit areas 6 and 4 near Dilapidated Roadway camp, then gather in areas 14 and 16 near Mining Cave and 13 and 17 near Limestone Cavern. [Game8]
- Gather from multiple outcrops. Since the ore result is random, checking several nodes is more dependable than waiting at one for Firestone. [Game8]
- Return after the nodes refresh. Game8 reports a 15-minute Mining Outcrop cooldown. It also describes a way to refresh by starting an Oilwell Basin Optional Quest, gathering, and selecting “Return from Quest.” The timer and reset behavior are guide-reported mechanics, not confirmed by an official Capcom source, so check that the method still works in your current game build before depending on it. [Game8]
Other ways to obtain Firestone
Game8 also reports that Yabran at Azuz may offer Firestone through a trader inventory that rotates daily. Treat this as a secondary option: availability depends on the changing stock, and the information comes from a third-party guide. [Game8]

Firestone is a crafting material for weapons and armor. Shacknews names Quematrice weapon upgrades and several high-rank armor pieces among its uses. The in-game item description, reproduced by MHWildsBuild, reads: “Ore that is scorching even at room temperature. Its heat can be used to fuse materials.” [Shacknews; MHWildsBuild]
