Monster Hunter Wilds: The Best Gathering Set
Crafting the ultimate gathering set in *Monster Hunter Wilds* requires a strategic mix-and-match of armor pieces. Here's the top recommendation:
- Head: Sild Hood (essential for the Botanist skill)
- Chest: Conga Mail or Melahoa Jacket
- Arms: G. Rathalos Vambraces or Leather Gloves
- Waist: High Metal Coil or Suja Sash
- Legs: Azuz Pants (necessary for Geologist 3)
- Charm: Marathon Charm or Intimidator Charm (choose based on your chest and arms selections; select Intimidator if you didn't choose Intimidator armor pieces, and vice-versa)
The Sild Hood is indispensable, providing the crucial Botanist skill. The Conga Mail and Guardian Rathalos Vambraces offer Intimidator, preventing small monster interruptions. Alternatively, Leather pieces offer different beneficial skills. Azuz Pants are non-negotiable for the significant Geologist 3 bonus. Finally, choose between the Marathon or Intimidator Charm to complement your chosen armor.
