Requirements

  • You must have 10 Scarlet Crimson Ore and 5 Scarlet Crimson Sand to craft the Nichirin Katana.​
  • The craft prompt only appears once you reach at least Tsuchinoto rank in Slayer progression.​

Pickaxe setup

  • Press P to reveal Points of Interest, track “Pickaxe,” travel to the marker, and press E to acquire it.​
  • After pickup, you can mine Scarlet Ore and Scarlet Sand nodes around the map.

Scarlet Ore route

  • From the Slayer Recruiter, head toward the river with a fallen tree and the nearby waterfall; the first Scarlet Crimson Ore nodes sit by the falls.
  • Climb the stone wall to the right of the waterfall to find several additional ore deposits and mine until you have 10.​
  • If lower spots are empty, check the upper cliff where four more ore nodes can spawn, or wait for respawns/server‑hop since nodes return periodically.

Scarlet Sand route

  • Press P and track the Water Breathing Trainer; take the path toward that marker but branch off before reaching the trainer.​
  • Mine the glowing red Scarlet Crimson Sand deposits near rocks and water until you have 5.

Crafting location

  • Open Points of Interest and locate the Wandering Swordsmith in the beginner town, then interact to forge when all requirements are met.​
  • If the craft button won’t click even with materials, you are almost certainly below Tsuchinoto; rank up and try again.​

Rank checkpoint (Tsuchinoto)

  • Tsuchinoto is the fifth Slayer rank, two tiers above Kanoto, so plan to clear Final Selection, reach Kanoe, then grind missions/PvP until Tsuchinoto.
  • Early playtests didn’t always surface this in the UI, causing confusion; the Swordsmith validates both materials and your rank before enabling the craft.

Fast route checklist

  • Press P → grab the Pickaxe (E).​
  • Farm 10 Ore at the waterfall base and the cliff nodes to the right.​
  • Farm 5 Sand on the path toward the Water Trainer (branch before the trainer).​
  • Hit Tsuchinoto → craft at the Wandering Swordsmith in beginner town.​

Troubleshooting

  • “Cannot craft” with mats: Reconfirm you hold exactly 10 Ore and 5 Sand and that your rank shows Tsuchinoto or higher.​
  • “Pickaxe marker gone”: That means you already picked it up; proceed directly to ore and sand nodes to mine.

Pro tips

  • Use P throughout to keep POIs highlighted so you can loop Recruiter → Falls (Ore) → Water‑trainer path (Sand) → Swordsmith efficiently.​
  • If competition is high, climb to the upper cliff for extra ore nodes or server‑hop since ore deposits respawn on a timer.
