Lightcrystal Acquisition Guide for Monster Hunter Wilds

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, slaying and capturing monsters is just part of the adventure. To truly equip yourself with the best armor and weapons, you'll also need to gather materials like Lightcrystals. Here's your comprehensive guide on how to efficiently farm Lightcrystals in the game.

Monster Hunter Wilds Lightcrystal Farming Locations

Lightcrystals in *Monster Hunter Wilds* are primarily obtained from Mining Outcrops. The drop rate can be quite random, so patience is key when farming these precious materials. Here are the prime locations where you can find Mining Outcrops:

• 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 that after mining, these outcrops will take about 15 to 20 minutes to respawn. Use this time to explore other areas and farm different resources before returning to the same spot.

How to Use Lightcrystals

Once you've collected enough Lightcrystals, head back to Gemma at Base Camp. These crystals are essential for forging and upgrading your gear. Here's 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

Remember, while these items can give you a boost, many of them, except for the Thunder Charm, will likely be outclassed as you progress through the game. Keep an eye out for upgrades and replacements to stay ahead of the curve.
