Lightcrystal Acquisition Guide for Monster Hunter Wilds

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, mastering the art of gathering materials like Lightcrystals is crucial for crafting and upgrading your arsenal. Here's your comprehensive guide on how to efficiently farm Lightcrystals and make the most of them.

Monster Hunter Wilds Lightcrystal Farming Locations

Lightcrystals in *Monster Hunter Wilds* can be harvested from Mining Outcrops, though their acquisition is somewhat random. Don't get discouraged if it takes a few tries; persistence is key. Below are the prime locations where you can find these valuable resources:

• 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

After mining, Mining Outcrops will respawn in about 15 to 20 minutes. Use this time to explore other areas and gather different resources before returning to farm more Lightcrystals.

How to Use Lightcrystals

Once you've collected enough Lightcrystals, head back to Gemma at Base Camp. Here, you can forge or upgrade various pieces of equipment. Here’s a list of items that require Lightcrystals:

• Guild Knight Sabers I
• Dragon Perforator II
