How to Get Lightcrystal in Monster Hunter Wilds

Efficiently Gathering Lightcrystals in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Comprehensive Guide

Beyond monster hunting, crafting powerful armor and weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds requires gathering essential materials. This guide focuses on efficiently farming Lightcrystals.

Lightcrystal Farming Locations

Lightcrystals are acquired by mining designated Outcrops in Monster Hunter Wilds. The acquisition rate is variable, so persistent mining is key. High-yield locations include:

• 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

Exploited Outcrops regenerate within 15-20 minutes. Utilize this downtime by farming in other areas before returning.

Utilizing Lightcrystals

Once you've amassed sufficient Lightcrystals, return to Gemma at Base Camp to craft or upgrade equipment. Lightcrystals are integral to forging these items:

• 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

• Chrome Drill II
• Iron Katana II
• Iron Beater II

Note that many of these items (excluding the Thunder Charm) may become obsolete quickly, so prioritize efficient progression.
