How to Get Lightcrystal in Monster Hunter Wilds

Efficiently Farming Lightcrystals in Monster Hunter Wilds

Simply hunting 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 harvested from Mining Outcrops scattered throughout the game world. The yield is random, so persistent farming 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 replenish after approximately 15-20 minutes. Utilize this downtime by farming other resources in different areas before returning.

Utilizing Lightcrystals

Once you've accumulated sufficient Lightcrystals, return to Gemma at Base Camp. She'll use them to forge or upgrade the following equipment:

• 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

Note that many of these items (excluding the Thunder Charm) may quickly become obsolete. Don't be overly attached; better replacements are readily available.
