Gathering materials might not seem crucial at first in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, but it becomes vital as you progress into the endgame. Here's the optimal gathering set to maximize your material collection efficiency.

Monster Hunter Wilds Best Gathering Set

For dedicated material gathering in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, assembling the right armor set is key. Here’s the top-tier gathering armor configuration:

• Sild Hood - Essential for the Botanist skill, boosting your herb and consumable gathering.
• Conga Mail or Melahoa Jacket - Opt for Conga Mail for Intimidator to deter small monsters during your gathering sessions.
• G. Rathalos Vambraces or Leather Gloves - Choose G. Rathalos Vambraces for additional Intimidator or Leather Gloves for alternative bonuses.
• High Metal Coil or Suja Sash - These provide additional utility for your gathering setup.
• Azuz Pants - A must-have for Geologist 3, significantly enhancing your gathering efficiency.
• Marathon Charm or Intimidator Charm - Select based on your armor choices; Marathon for endurance or Intimidator to complement your gear.

The Sild Hood is indispensable due to its Botanist skill, crucial for effective gathering. I prefer the Intimidator skill to avoid interruptions from small monsters, which is why I recommend the Conga Mail and G. Rathalos Vambraces. However, you can switch to Leather pieces if you're after different bonuses. The Azuz Pants are non-negotiable for their Geologist 3 skill, which boosts your gathering efficiency. For the Charm slot, choose between Marathon and Intimidator based on your armor setup.

Best Gathering Skills

In addition to the right armor, equipping the correct skills is essential for efficient material gathering in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Here are the key skills you should prioritize:

In my experience, Botanist and Geologist are non-negotiable skills for any gathering set. Even if you're still working on acquiring all the necessary armor pieces, prioritizing these two skills will significantly enhance your gathering efficiency. The other skills can be added as you progress and gather more gear.
