What is the most effective way to grind for drops from the three spirit dragons?
Dinraal, Naydra, and Farosh are benign spirits flying around their respective regions in the form of elemental dragons. Attacking them with arrows will make pieces fall to the ground depending on where they are hit. These pieces are used for a few shrines, but also for enhancing some Armours.
- What is the best strategy to accumulate these pieces?
- What sort of appearance patterns do each dragon have? Is this purely random, or is there a way to influence their arrival?
- Is there a more effective trick to get a higher number of drops during a single encounter?
The pieces that drop are as follows:
- Dragon's Scale: Shed by hitting the dragon over most areas of its body.
- Dragon's Claw: Shed by hitting the dragon's limbs.
- Dragon's Fang: Shed by hitting the dragon's mouth.
- Shard of Dragon's Horn: Shed by hitting the dragon's horns.
Each dragon has their own set of four pieces.
Best Answer
While I use the Naydra method in the other answer, I prefer these two spots for the other two dragons.
Farosh:
Go to the Lakeside Stable, just south of Faron tower. Rest there until morning, then go across the bridge and to the section in the middle that looks like platform with a Korok puzzle on it. You'll see Farosh spawn above the waterfall directly in front of you, then come down the Waterfall and below the bridge. As he goes under the bridge, jump off and shoot him where you need to. Then, simply go back to Highland Stable and rest at cooking pot till morning again.
Dinraal:
Go to Tabantha Stables. Rest at the cooking pot till night. Then, go the middle of the bridge. At around 10:30, Dinraal will fly under the bridge. If you look north up the canyon, you'll see him as he spawns. If he hasn't appeared by 10:00, go back to the stable and rest again. When he goes under the bridge, jump down and shoot off whatever piece you need. Go back to the stable and repeat.
Both these methods have the advantage of you not needing large amounts of wood and flint/fire weapons for large scale farming.

The three dragons in Breath of the Wild can be found at the following locations: Naydra - Mount Lanayru peak. Farosh - Lake Hylia at 12AM. Dinraal - area north of Eldin Mountain at 9AM.Where do I grind in Naydra?
Around 6 AM, you'll see Dinraal in the distance; wait for it to get close and shoot it, then just wait for the part to drop. You can only get one part per day, so if you need more than one you'll need to start this process over from the stable.Soul Shards - Where you can farm them and which Bosses have the best drop rate in Diablo 3 Season 25

Answer 2
I have not done this but I have seen a lot of speed runners do this: They make a campfire by where the dragon will come to at either day noon or night (the start of that time). Then they shoot the dragon, use the campfire and do it again. They do that for a few minutes and what the dragon drops dose not despawn. So when you feel like you've done enough you can just pick up all of the scales.
