Gathering materials might not catch your eye at the start, but trust me, it becomes crucial as you dive into the endgame of *Monster Hunter Wilds*. To help you out, here's the ultimate gathering set to boost your material collection:
Monster Hunter Wilds Best Gathering Set
When you're on a dedicated material hunt in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, mixing and matching the right armor pieces is key for optimal bonuses. Here's the top-tier gathering armor set:
- Sild Hood
- Conga Mail or Melahoa Jacket
- G. Rathalos Vambraces or Leather Gloves
- High Metal Coil or Suja Sash
- Azuz Pants
- Marathon Charm or Intimidator Charm
The Sild Hood is your go-to for gathering, as it comes packed with the Botanist skill, which is vital for your material hunts. I personally opt for Intimidator to keep those pesky small monsters at bay while I gather, which is where the Conga Mail and Guardian Rathalos Vambraces shine. However, feel free to switch them out for Leather pieces if other bonuses tickle your fancy.
The Azuz Pants are non-negotiable, offering Geologist 3, which significantly boosts your gathering efficiency.
For the Charm slot, choose between Marathon and Intimidator, based on your armor choices. If you haven't equipped Intimidator on your armor, go for the Intimidator Charm, and vice versa.
Best Gathering Skills
Having the perfect armor is one thing, but you'll also need the right active skills to make the most of your gathering trips in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Here's a rundown of the essential skills:
Skill | Effect |
---|---|
Botanist | Increases the quantity of herbs and other consumable items you gather. |
Geologist | Increases the number of items you gain at gathering points. |
Intimidator | Reduces the chance small monsters will attack after spotting you. Has no effect on certain monsters. |
Aquatic/Oilslit Mobility | Grants resistance against impairments to mobility while in water, oilslit, or streams. |
Entomologist | The bodies of small insect monsters won’t be destroyed, allowing them to be carved. |
Outdoorsman | Improves fishing, grilling, and transporting abilities. |
In my experience, Botanist and Geologist are the must-have skills for your gathering set. Even if you're still working on getting all the armor pieces, prioritize these two skills. The others can be added as you progress.
