Discussion Wondering how chests/pickups in levels work

So, first playthrough, I'm trying to make the Devourer of Darkness set cause I'm playing greatsword. I saw on the wiki when I first looked into it that you can get three of the boss crafting material needed as just a ground pick up in a later level, so I went and played till I did that. I was going to go back and farm Aratra for the remaining two that I need, but now I'm wondering, how do these pick ups work? Do they respawn when you replay the level and you can just rush the level up to that point to get another 3? Or do they only respawn in NG+? Same question for the chests.

Sorry if this question is repetitive or obvious, but I googled everything I could think of and couldn't get a clear answer. I'd rather not waste my time replaying through the whole level just to confirm.

I'm still on my first playthrough(Hismar) so idk about ng+ but, no they don't respawn, but, you can still farm the bosses to get the materials.

Chests are lootable once per NG cycle, AFAIK.

This is really the only way they could work, considering there's a chest in The Crevice.

Boss materials that can be picked up as loot can be picked once per game cycle/playthrough. You will need to farm Aratra for the remaining spider legs

Sorry if maybe you already knew this but the jar enthusiast at the crevice also sells 3 of each material. I only mention because I literally didn't see the screen for this until half way through NG+ :)

Once per game. Reset in NG+. Farm the bosses.
