U4GM - How to Gather 19 Special Materials in 99 Nights in the Forest Without Fighting

[clearpebblex]

If you’ve spent some time in 99 Nights in the Forest (often called NITF), you’ll know that gathering special materials can be tricky—especially if you’d rather avoid combat. Many players assume the only way to get all 19 required special materials is by defeating high-level enemies, but with some patience and clever route planning, you can collect them without swinging your weapon once.

The key to this strategy is understanding spawn locations, timing, and safe routes. Most special materials appear in fixed spots, often in less hostile zones if you know where to look. For example, rare plants like Moonshade Fern or Crystal Bark often spawn near abandoned shrines or deep glades. Visit these areas during early dawn or late dusk when aggressive creatures are less active.

Another essential tip is using the terrain to your advantage. High ground paths and riverside trails tend to have fewer patrols, allowing you to slip by unnoticed. Always carry enough stamina-restoring food so you can sprint past potential danger zones. If you’re still short on a few rare drops, check the trade posts—other players often exchange excess materials, and you might be able to trade basic resources for them.

While this method saves you from unnecessary battles, it does take time. If you’re in a hurry to speed up your overall progression—especially if you’re also looking to enhance your equipment—some players choose to buy 99 Nights in the Forest diamonds or even buy 99 NITF diamonds through trusted marketplaces like U4GM. This can give you the resources to invest in better tools, making your non-combat gathering runs even smoother.

With patience, a good map, and the right preparation, you’ll be able to gather all 19 special materials without lifting your sword. The satisfaction of completing the task peacefully is worth the effort—and it might even make you see the forest in a new light.
