How to Obtain Lightcrystal in Monster Hunter Wilds

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, simply slaying and capturing monsters won't be enough for crafting your arsenal. You'll need to roll up your sleeves and gather materials yourself, particularly Lightcrystals, which are essential for forging and upgrading your armor and weapons. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to effectively farm Lightcrystals in the game.

Monster Hunter Wilds Lightcrystal Farming Locations

Lightcrystals in *Monster Hunter Wilds* can be harvested from Mining Outcrops, but keep in mind that obtaining them is somewhat random, so patience is key. Here's where you can find Mining Outcrops to farm 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

Once you've mined an outcrop, it will take approximately 15 to 20 minutes to respawn. Use this time to explore other areas and gather different resources before returning to your Lightcrystal farming spots.

How to Use Lightcrystals

After collecting sufficient Lightcrystals, head back to Gemma at Base Camp in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. You can use these crystals to forge or enhance various pieces of equipment. Here's a list of items that require 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

Bear in mind, while most of these items will serve you well initially, they may soon be outclassed by superior gear. So, don't get too attached—better replacements are likely to come your way as you progress through the game.
