Preface:

Here is a list of where to farm raw materials for quests and/or upgrading weapons.

Taken from the Nier wiki.

Will be updated with my own notes and findings, as well as other users' comments.

! DESCRIPTIONS CONTAIN SPOILERS !

Time Of Day / Weather

Some zones such as Northern or Southern Plains may have different conditions which affect the type and amount of enemies that spawn.

As far as I know the different conditions are:

Day (Sunny)

Day (Cloudy)

SunsetIf you don't get the desired condition, simply leave and re-enter the area.

Difficulty

According to "Grimoire Nier" (the game companion made for the original Nier):

The enemies' strength on easy or normal won't change in any playthrough, but in hard, they get stronger according to Nier's level. However, word and item drop rates have gone up.I have yet to test if this holds true to the remaster, so far I had mixed results.

Tips And Tricks

For "Memory Alloy":

Set the difficulty to hard. Skip the first robot on the B2 floor. Go on the rail-cart, and in the very next room a robot will spawn. Kill it, and see what drop you get. If you dont get a Memory alloy, let the remaining small drones kill you. You will respawn just outside the room. Repeat until you get an alloy. When you get that one, go ahead and go to the next room to the south where 2 robots spawn. Kill them and see if you get an alloy, if not, die. Repeat.

Fortune Teller's Dream:

After obtaining all 5 key fragments , a quest will be available at the Forest of Myth. Completing this quest will let you access the "dream" as many times as you like. It's packed with enemies and it's an amazing farm location for a lot of upgrade materials.

I farmed the hell out of it for mostly for:

Dented Metal Bat

Rusty Kitchen Knife

Broken Wristwatch
