In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, it's not just about slaying and capturing monsters; sometimes, you need to roll up your sleeves and gather materials yourself. Here's your ultimate guide on how to farm Lightcrystals to forge and upgrade your arsenal.
Monster Hunter Wilds Lightcrystal Farming Locations
To get your hands on Lightcrystals, you'll need to mine them from Mining Outcrops scattered throughout *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Remember, the drop rate can be a bit of a wild card, so patience is key!
Here's where you can strike it rich with Lightcrystals:
- Windward Plains: Areas 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 10, 17
- Oilwell Basin: Areas 4, 6, 7
- Iceshard Cliffs: Areas 8, 16
- Ruins of Wyveria: Area 5
After you've mined an outcrop, it will take about 15 to 20 minutes to respawn. Use this time to explore other areas and gather different resources before circling back.
How to Use Lightcrystals
Once you've amassed a collection of Lightcrystals, head back to Gemma at Base Camp. Here, you can use them to forge or upgrade various weapons and equipment. Here’s a rundown of what you can craft with Lightcrystals:
- Guild Knight Sabers I
- Dragon Perforator II
- Dual Hatchets II
- Triple Bayonet II
- Iron Assault II
- Iron Gale II
- Chain Blitz II
- Iron Accelerator II
- Hyperguard II
- Buster Sword II
- Iron Hammer II
- Metal Bagpipe II
- Chrome Drill II
- Iron Katana II
- Iron Beater II
- Ingot Vambraces
- Thunder Charm III
Keep in mind, most of these items, except for the Thunder Charm, might get outclassed pretty quickly. Don't get too attached; better gear is always around the corner in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
