How to Obtain Lightcrystal in Monster Hunter Wilds

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, slaying and capturing monsters is just part of the adventure. To fully equip yourself with the best armor and weapons, you'll also need to gather materials like Lightcrystals. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to farm Lightcrystals and what to do with them once you've collected enough.

Monster Hunter Wilds Lightcrystal Farming Locations

Lightcrystals are primarily obtained from Mining Outcrops scattered throughout the game's world. The process can be a bit random, so patience is key as you farm 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 will respawn in about 15 to 20 minutes. Use this time to explore other areas and gather different resources before returning to farm more Lightcrystals.

How to Use Lightcrystals

Once you've gathered a sufficient amount of Lightcrystals, head back to Gemma at Base Camp. Here, you can use them to forge or upgrade various pieces of equipment. Below is 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, may be outclassed relatively quickly. It's wise not to get too attached to your gear, as you'll likely find better replacements as you progress through the game.
