How to Get Lightcrystal in Monster Hunter Wilds

Efficiently Farming Lightcrystals in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Comprehensive Guide

Simply defeating monsters isn't enough in Monster Hunter Wilds. Resource gathering is crucial for crafting superior weapons and armor. This guide focuses on efficiently farming Lightcrystals.

Lightcrystal Farming Locations

Lightcrystals are acquired by mining Mining Outcrops. The drop rate is variable, so persistence is key. These locations consistently yield Lightcrystals:

• 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

Mining Outcrops regenerate within 15-20 minutes. Utilize this downtime by farming other resources in different areas before returning.

Lightcrystal Applications

Once you've amassed sufficient Lightcrystals, visit Gemma at Base Camp to craft or upgrade equipment. Lightcrystals are required for the following items:

• Guild Knight Sabers I
• Dragon Perforator II
• Dual Hatchets II
• Triple Bayonet II
