Monster Hunter Wilds: Best Gathering Set
For efficient material gathering in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, a strategic mix-and-match armor approach is key. Here's the top-performing set:
- Head: Sild Hood (essential for the Botanist skill)
- Chest: Conga Mail or Melahoa Jacket
- Arms: G. Rathalos Vambraces or Leather Gloves
- Waist: High Metal Coil or Suja Sash
- Legs: Azuz Pants (necessary for Geologist 3)
- Charm: Marathon Charm or Intimidator Charm (choose based on your chest and arm armor selections; prioritize Intimidator if not already included in your armor)
The Sild Hood is a must-have for its Botanist skill. The Conga Mail and G. Rathalos Vambraces offer Intimidator, preventing small monster interruptions, but Leather alternatives provide different benefits. Azuz Pants are crucial for Geologist 3. Select either the Marathon or Intimidator Charm to complement your armor choices.
Best Gathering Skills
Effective gathering requires both the right armor and skills. Here are the essential skills:
Skill | Effect |
---|---|
Botanist | Increases the quantity of herbs and other consumable items gathered. |
Geologist | Increases the number of items gained at gathering points. |
Intimidator | Reduces the chance of small monster attacks after being spotted (exceptions apply). |
Aquatic/Oilslit Mobility | Grants resistance to mobility impairments in water, oilslits, or streams. |
Entomologist | Prevents the destruction of small insect monster bodies, allowing carving. |
Outdoorsman | Improves fishing, grilling, and transporting abilities. |
Botanist and Geologist are paramount. While other skills are beneficial, prioritize these two initially, and the others can be acquired later.
