Sharp Fangs are a valuable early-game crafting material found in the Windward Plains. They're essential for crafting beginner-level gear like Chatacabra and Talioth armor sets. Access the Windward Plains through optional quests like “Beware the Chatacabra” or “The Desert is Demanding,” offering a generous 50-minute time limit. Remember to consume a meal for buffs before embarking.

Focus your efforts on Area 8 of the Windward Plains, the largest area with diverse smaller monsters. While several monsters can drop Sharp Fangs, Gaijos are the most reliable source.

Targeting Gaijos for Maximum Efficiency

Gaijos, small crocodile-like leviathans, are typically found near or in riverbeds. Their location is easily identified on the map by purple diamond markers near water sources. These creatures possess low health, making them quick to defeat even with early-game weapons. Each defeated Gaijo guarantees a single Sharp Fang upon carving.

The Windward Plains typically spawns four to five Gaijos. Repeatedly completing optional quests provides easy access to the area for efficient farming.

Talioth: An Alternative, Though Less Reliable, Source

Talioths, bipedal creatures found in packs in Area 8 and sometimes Area 13, also have a chance to drop Sharp Fangs. While not guaranteed, hunting Talioths offers a secondary farming method, conveniently allowing completion of the “The Desert is Demanding” quest (requiring 8 Talioth kills).
