Slaying monsters is exhilarating, but if you're aiming to collect every monster part for crafting armor in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll need to master the art of trapping. To achieve this, you'll need Trap Tools, and here's your guide to acquiring them.
Where to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds
*Monster Hunter Wilds* might not walk you through trapping monsters or acquiring Trap Tools, but if you're familiar with previous titles in the series, you'll find the process intuitive.
You can procure Trap Tools by visiting the Provisions Stockpiler NPC at your Base Camp. Engage in a conversation with him and browse his inventory until you spot the Trap Tools, priced at 200 Zenny each. It's wise to stock up on several if you're planning to farm specific monsters or aim to capture every creature in the game.
Remember, Trap Tools are exclusively available for purchase at Base Camp and cannot be scavenged from the wild like other resources.
How to Use Trap Tools
With your Trap Tools in hand, it's time to deploy them effectively. Combine a Trap Tool with a Net (using Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap, or pair it with a Thunderbug Capacitor for a Shock Trap.
Both types of traps are effective, but be mindful that certain monsters have resistances. For example, Shock Traps are ineffective against Rey Dau, the lightning dragon, making Pitfall Traps the better choice in this case.
Also, keep in mind that you can only carry one Trap item at a time, so use them strategically when the monster is weakened.
