Comprehensive Guide to Ores and Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds

Players can gather essential crafting materials through mining, monster hunting, and Festival Shares across various regions in the game.

Ores and crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds are vital for crafting and upgrading weapons, armor, and equipment.
Mining Outcrops, marked by distinct icons on the map, are the primary source for collecting these resources across biomes like Windward Plains, Scarlet Forest, and Iceshard Cliffs.
Players can also obtain rare materials by defeating specific monsters, such as Xu Wu or Tempered Monsters, which drop unique crafting items like Golden Corneum and Wyverian Bloodstones.
Festival Shares offer an alternative method to acquire certain ores, with NPCs in key villages providing these resources as players progress through the game.
High Rank gameplay introduces rarer ores and crystals, such as Novacrystals and Fucium Ore, further expanding crafting possibilities for advanced gear.
