## Notes we already publish

- (location) Despite the MaterialOre tag, none of these nodes are a rock you swing at. They appear as small glowing patches lying on the sand and you pick them up with the interact key — no pickaxe, no Mining Pal, no ore drill. The 271 node count is the total across the desert, but the patches only materialise after dark: ride out at midday and the same ground is bare.
- (location) The Desiccated Desert is the whole hunting ground. Two landmarks concentrate it: the ground behind the PIDF Tower, which is the cheapest circuit because the tower entrance is a fast travel point you can hop to the moment night falls, and the open arena where Paladius and Necromus patrol, which is dense enough to be worth the trip on its own.
- (strategy) You do not have to fight anything for the arena patches. Paladius and Necromus only engage once you close on them, so hug the edges of the basin, grab the glow, and leave — the sand is a pickup, not a drop, and nothing about the fight gates it.
