"Guide to Acquiring Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds"

While slaying monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is thrilling, capturing them is crucial for gathering all the necessary parts for forging armor. To successfully trap these creatures, you'll need Trap Tools. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to obtain and utilize Trap Tools in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Where to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds

*Monster Hunter Wilds* might not offer explicit tutorials on trapping monsters or acquiring Trap Tools, but if you're familiar with the series, the process should feel intuitive.

Your primary source for Trap Tools is the Provisions Stockpiler NPC located at your Base Camp. Engage in conversation with him and browse his inventory until you find the Trap Tools, which are priced at 200 Zenny each. It's wise to stock up on these, particularly if your goal is to farm specific monsters or complete your collection by capturing every monster in the game.

Remember, Trap Tools are exclusively available for purchase at Base Camp and cannot be scavenged in the wild like other resources.

How to Use Trap Tools

Once you've acquired your Trap Tools, it's time to employ them effectively. Combine them with a Net (using Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap, or pair them with a Thunderbug Capacitor to craft a Shock Trap.

Both types of traps are effective, but be mindful that some monsters have resistances. For example, Shock Traps are ineffective against Rey Dau, a lightning dragon, making Pitfall Traps the better choice in this case.

Also, note that you can only carry one Trap item at a time, so timing is crucial. Use your traps when the monster is weakened for the best chance of success.
