How to get Shark Fin in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

Upgrading your weapons in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth makes sense for the most part. You dump in a bunch of raw materials like metals and elemental fragments and buff up the stats. You would expect the higher levels to cost rarer materials, which is also true, but the types of materials you will eventually need are often rather confusing. Shark Fin, for example, will probably have you scratching your head about where you can even find such a thing, let alone how one would be used to make your weapon hit harder. Regardless, it’s what you need and there are ways to get it, none of which involve risking your life in the ocean. Here’s how you can get a few Shark Fin quickly and easily.

Where to get Shark Fin

Unless you want to pray to the RNG gods by running the Labyrinth and hoping this material will drop, there are two places you can reliably go to buy Shark Fin. The first is the recycling center on Aloha Beach. This woman will exchange any trash you collect from the beach for points you can spend on various items in her stock. One such item is, of course, the Shark Fin. This is one of the most expensive items she has, however, so it will take a lot of trash collecting to earn enough points. You must also consider that she only has three, so you can’t spend all day gathering bottles and cans to stock up.

The other option has unlimited Shark Fins to buy but is more dangerous. Robo Michio outside the Labyrinth also sells this crafting item in exchange for the Robo Disks you collect while running through the dungeons. Again, this is an expensive buy and will cost 15,000 disks for each one. However, since you do have a chance of finding one in the Labyrinth itself, it isn’t a bad way to hedge your bets if you’ve exhausted the first method.

How to get fire quartz in Stardew Valley
A player getting a mineral in Stardew Valley.

There are tons of common items and materials in Stardew Valley that don't require you to look up any tips or tricks to find. Things like regular quartz are almost impossible to miss, while things like Powdermelon and fire quartz aren't quite as easy to come by. The rarer the material, the more uses it has, which is the case for this red version of quartz called fire quartz. Despite how pretty they look, you probably won't want to give them away as gifts once you learn how to reliably find them.
How to find fire quartz

Like any mineral in Stardew Valley, fire quartz needs to be foraged out in the world rather than made yourself. The Mines are where you will need to spend your time searching, but only after you have explored far enough to reach floor 80 and beyond. After floor 80, fire quartz will start to appear for you to forage. Beyond finding it on its own, you can also find some inside of either Magam or Omni Geodes. Because it is fairly common to spot on its own, you shouldn't need to rely on looking for geodes to get enough.

How to get a prismatic shard in Stardew Valley

There are tons of tips and tricks around for things like farming and which gifts to give each villager in Stardew Valley, but crafting weapons is just as important to learn. One of the best weapons in the game alongside Meowmere is the Galaxy Sword, which requires prismatic shards to obtain. That's just one of the uses for this rainbow mineral, but you will never get enough to unlock everything they provide without knowing where to look. This isn't like learning where to find the Bookseller, though, because there is some randomness to consider. Let's run through all the ways to find a prismatic shard in Stardew Valley.
How to get a prismatic shard

There are only two consistent ways to get prismatic shards in Stardew Valley. Otherwise, you will need to deal with some RNG. That said, there are two methods that have far better odds than anything else. The only guaranteed way to get one is to go to the chest at the very top of the Volcano Dungeon. The other is to make the Statue of True Perfection. This piece of furniture can only be made after you reach 100% Perfection and interact with the Perfection Tracker in Qi's Walnut room, which will take dozens of hours to accomplish. However, if you managed to grind that much then you will get a free prismatic shard every day you check your Statue of True Perfection.

How to get Nautilus Shells in Stardew Valley

It won't take you many seasons to learn most of Stardew Valley's tips and tricks and become familiar with how to get the more common materials you need. On the other hand, there are some more mysterious items that you will need from time to time but have no idea where to find. The Nautilus Shell isn't that great of a gift, but it is required for a few specific quests and for dyeing. If you've been searching the beach all summer long but haven't found one, you're close but not quite there yet. Here's how to get Nautilus Shells.
How to get Nautilus Shells
Nautilus Shells are most easily found on the beach by foraging through the sand, which is probably where most people would think to look for them. However, if you look during the summer, when you would most likely be at the beach, you won't find any. That's because the only time you can forage a Nautilus Shell from the beach is when it is winter.

Besides foraging in the cold sand, there are a few other ways you can get Nautilus Shells, but they are all up to chance. They can be received as a gift from Demetrius at any time or from any villager during the Feast of the Winter Star. If you have either the Shrine of Challenge or Danger In The Deep quest enabled, they can spawn within the first 29 levels of the Mines.
