Upgrading your armor is crucial for survival in Monster Hunter Wilds, but simply crafting new sets isn't always the most efficient strategy. Armor Sphere upgrades are key to keeping pace with the escalating challenges. Here's how to acquire and utilize these vital resources.
Obtaining Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds
Armor Spheres are primarily awarded as quest rewards. This means completing both main story and optional quests will steadily replenish your supply.
You'll begin receiving Armor Spheres after defeating Uth Duna for the first time. From that point forward, most main and optional quests will include Armor Spheres among their rewards.
To preview potential rewards, select a quest from your journal and press R1. Your earned rewards will be displayed after a successful hunt.
Farming Armor Spheres is relatively straightforward. Progressing through the main story will yield a significant number, but diligently completing optional quests will significantly boost your stockpile.
Utilizing Armor Spheres
Armor Spheres are essential for upgrading your armor. At base camp, speak with Gemma the smithy and select the "Forge/Upgrade Armor" option. Choose a crafted piece of gear, then press R1 to access the Upgrade tab.
Select the item you wish to upgrade. You'll need to provide Armor Spheres and Zenny to proceed. Keep in mind that upgrade costs increase with each subsequent level.
That's how you acquire and use Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds. For more helpful guides and game information, be sure to check out The Escapist.
