How to Obtain Lightcrystal in Monster Hunter Wilds

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, simply slaying and capturing monsters isn't enough. To craft the best armor and weapons, you'll need to gather materials like Lightcrystals on your own. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to farm Lightcrystals effectively.

Monster Hunter Wilds Lightcrystal Farming Locations

Lightcrystals are found at Mining Outcrops scattered throughout *Monster Hunter Wilds*. The drop rate can be a bit unpredictable, so patience is key when farming these valuable resources. Here are the prime locations where you can find Mining Outcrops:

• 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, these outcrops take about 15 to 20 minutes to respawn. Use this time to explore other areas and gather different resources before returning to your Lightcrystal farming spots.

How to Use Lightcrystals

Once you've collected enough Lightcrystals, head back to Gemma at Base Camp in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. You can use these crystals to forge or upgrade a variety of weapons and equipment. Here’s a list of items that require Lightcrystals:

• Guild Knight Sabers I
• Dragon Perforator II
• Dual Hatchets II
• Triple Bayonet II
• Iron Assault II
• Iron Gale II
• Chain Blitz II
• Iron Accelerator II
• Hyperguard II
• Buster Sword II
• Iron Hammer II
• Metal Bagpipe II
• Chrome Drill II
• Iron Katana II
• Iron Beater II
• Ingot Vambraces
• Thunder Charm III

Keep in mind that many of these items, except for the Thunder Charm, might be outclassed quickly. It’s wise not to get too attached to your gear, as you’ll likely find superior replacements soon.
