Marrow-Draining Thorn

If you want to complete the list and pre-farm all of ZZZ Nangong Yu's materials before her release, I might have some bad news. Nangong Yu's Notorious Hunt and weekly boss materials are not available in the live version of the game and will only be released on the same day as her launch. For now, the best thing you can do is save some Hidden Treasures (which can be bought from Outpost Logistics) and stock up on Batteries.
