Lightcrystal Acquisition in Monster Hunter Wilds

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, slaying and capturing monsters is just part of the adventure. To fully gear up, you'll also need to gather materials like Lightcrystals to forge and upgrade your arsenal. Here’s your comprehensive guide to farming Lightcrystals effectively.

Monster Hunter Wilds Lightcrystal Farming Locations

Lightcrystals in *Monster Hunter Wilds* are sourced from Mining Outcrops scattered across the map. The process can be hit or miss due to the random nature of mining, so patience is key. Below, I've detailed the prime spots for farming 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

Keep in mind, after you've mined from an outcrop, it takes about 15 to 20 minutes to respawn. Use this time wisely by heading to another area to continue your material hunt before looping back.

How to Use Lightcrystals

Once you've gathered a sufficient amount of Lightcrystals, head back to Gemma at Base Camp. Here, you can use these crystals to forge or upgrade a variety of weapons and armor. Below is a list of equipment that requires 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

While these items can enhance your arsenal, remember that many, except for the Thunder Charm, may soon be outclassed by better gear. Stay adaptable and always be on the lookout for superior upgrades.
