List of raw materials in Dragon Quest Builders

Raw materials are found while exploring the world, and there is no way to create them manually. The most common methods of acquiring materials are defeating monsters, smashing blocks, and cutting down plants. The following is a list of unrefined materials that the Builder, can work into a variety of tools and items.

This list also includes decorative items that cannot be created by the builder of the villagers, only found in the wild lands of Alefgard like the Tattered standard, for example.
