How to Get Lightcrystal in Monster Hunter Wilds

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the thrill of slaying and capturing monsters is just the beginning. To truly equip yourself for the challenges ahead, you'll need to gather materials like Lightcrystals to forge your armor and weapons. Here's your guide to effectively farming Lightcrystals in the game.

Monster Hunter Wilds Lightcrystal Farming Locations

Lightcrystals are harvested from Mining Outcrops scattered throughout the world of *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Keep in mind that finding these crystals is somewhat random, so patience is key when farming them. Below, I've outlined the prime locations for you to target:

• 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 you've mined an outcrop, it will take approximately 15 to 20 minutes to respawn. Use this time to explore other areas for additional resources before returning to your Lightcrystal spots.

How to Use Lightcrystals

Once you've gathered a sufficient number of Lightcrystals, head back to Gemma at Base Camp in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. 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

Remember, many of these items, with the exception of the Thunder Charm, may soon be outclassed by better gear. Don't get too attached; always be on the lookout for upgrades as you progress through the game.
