Green Leaf, Yellow Leaf & White Leaf
There’s a very easy way to gather large amounts of these. Head North of Amanki to the Trial. Enter the trial, fail as quickly as possible and it will take you back outside. All of the nearby items will respawn, giving access to plenty of Green Leaf, White Leaf and Yellow Leaf very easily and quickly.

Crimson Leaf
You can find Crimson Leaf at “The Hunting Grounds” near the beginning of the game.

Boar Hide
Boar’s are one of the most common animals near the beginning of the game. They can be found in large quantities at “The Hunting Grounds”.

The rest of the animals should be visible on the map pretty easily. Just make sure you are zoomed in enough for them to show up. If you need anymore help or anymore of the ingredients locations make sure to hit us up below. Thanks for reading!

  1. “Far Cry 3 features an in-depth crafting system” really!? o.0
    Make that a basic crafting system. No refining, no use of tools… just simple one step “raw material to product” crafting.
    Don’t get me wrong: I wouldn’t have wanted any other way in a game like this but I have to wonder why people in general keep exaggerating the complexity of this game!?

    1. I wrote the intro to the guide right at the start of the game. We write the guides as we go and at the time, it appeared to hold some potential. It’s a simple crafting system but there are quite a few options 😀

      1. Guess that makes sense. I was expecting something more at first too. But after all it is “just” a 1st person shooter and not trying to be an action RPG. And as such it still is pretty excellent.
