Odyle is a crafting material used to imbue gear with its power, and it feeds most Blacksmithing, Armorsmithing, and Handicraft recipes as well as Substance Morph. What makes it awkward to collect is that its nodes do not sit on the ground. They float in the air, so you need your Wings to reach them and run Essence Extraction mid-flight.

Quick answer: Gather Odyle from floating nodes with your Wings and Essence Extraction. Verteron (706 spots) and Altgard (650 spots) hold by far the most nodes, and each extraction returns one of four Odyle grades.


The four Odyle grades and what they sell for

A single Odyle node can yield any of four materials, separated by grade. All four are Tier 1 Misc materials, can be traded, and serve the same purpose in Crafting and Substance Morph. The higher the grade, the higher the required level to use it and the more it sells for.

MaterialGradeRequired levelSell (Kina)
OdyleCommon1520
Fine OdyleRare2560
Pure OdyleEpic35180
Radiant OdyleUnique40540

Every Odyle node is a Novice grade node and only needs Proficiency Level 1 to gather, so you can work them from the moment you can fly. Each extraction gives one material plus a chance at a Poko’s Skin Bundle (Bound) as a bonus.


Where Odyle nodes spawn, by region

Odyle nodes appear across the open world and inside several dungeons. The two starting regions carry the heaviest concentration, which makes them the fastest places to run laps. The dungeon instances each hold a small fixed pocket of nodes if you want a few extractions while clearing them.

Altgard650
Chaotic Lower Reshanta240
Draupnir15
Ferocious Horn Den15
Fire Temple15
Krao Cave15
Urugugu Canyon15
Vakron Sky Island15

Within a region, nodes cluster in the air above key points. In Verteron, dense pockets sit around Ellun River Midstream, Dawn Legion Base, Aullaeu Village, and Kraka Footpath. In Altgard, look above Nameless Cemetery, Sanctum Outpost, Fafnite Deposit, and Black Claw Village. The simplest rule is to fly near any camp, town, or point of interest and look up.


How to extract Odyle from a floating node

Activate Wing mode and fly up toward the glowing node. Odyle tends to hover above landmarks, so approach from a nearby camp or outpost and gain altitude until you spot one.

Hover beside the node and begin Essence Extraction. Wing mode drains its own stamina bar while you fly, and if that bar empties the extraction is cancelled. Top up your Wing Energy before you start so the cast can finish.
Let the extraction complete to receive one Odyle material by the grade rolled, from Common Odyle up to Unique Radiant Odyle. The material lands in your inventory (the Cube), which confirms the gather worked.

Extraction skills that raise your Odyle yield

Open the Extraction Skill Tree (Alt + F on PC) and invest in the Odyle specialization perks before you commit to a farming run. They make nodes easier to find and push both the quantity and the grade of what you pull.

  • Odyle Seeker — reveals Odyle locations on your map.
  • Plentiful Harvest — lets you harvest larger quantities of Odyle.
  • Odyle Appraiser — improves your odds of uncovering Odyle of a higher grade.

Beyond those, max out Proficient Handling, Delicate Touch, and Lady Luck. Each raises your success rate per attempt, so fewer extractions fail and you spend less Wing Energy per material.


Hidden Cubes that drop Odyle bundles

Gathering is the steady source, but Hidden Cubes give you a shot at multiple grades at once, including the Unique tier. Many of these cubes also sit on high ledges that only flight can reach.

Fly to a Hidden Cube. One sits on a rocky plateau in Western Cantas Valley in Verteron, near Dawn Legion Base and Coastal Camp, tucked beneath the large red mushroom caps.

Land on the ledge and interact with the cube. Choose Open with Key so it consumes a Key: Hidden Cube (Bound), which yields the better reward pool instead of the basic drop.

From the cube you can pull a Lucky Gathering Materials Bundle (Bound) alongside items like Inscribed Stigma Shard and Silverium. Open the bundle to roll its materials, which include Odyle, Fine Odyle, Pure Odyle, Radiant Odyle, and Orichalcum Ore.

The bundle can roll Unique gathered materials, so saving a Key: Hidden Cube (Bound) for these cubes is the surest non-gathering route to Radiant Odyle.


Other ways to pick up Odyle

Odyle also comes from quest rewards and field events, which top up your supply while you play through content. The field events that can award Odyle are:

  • Defend Shugo Merchants
  • Goldrin’s Treasure
  • Hidden Lugi
  • Jump Jump
  • Mysterious Track
  • Not This Tile?
  • Odyle Flight Frenzy
  • Up! Up! Up!
  • Wraith Evasion

These are supplements, not a core farm. For volume, keep returning to the Verteron and Altgard skies with Odyle Seeker active, and you will outpace what events and quests hand you.
