How to Get Lightcrystal in Monster Hunter Wilds

In Monster Hunter Wilds, conquering monsters is only half the battle. Crafting powerful armor and weapons requires gathering essential materials, and Lightcrystals are key. This guide details where to farm them and how to use your hard-earned loot.

Monster Hunter Wilds Lightcrystal Farming Locations

Lightcrystals are found by mining Mining Outcrops scattered throughout Monster Hunter Wilds. The drop rate is random, so persistence is key. Don't get discouraged if it takes some time!

Here are the areas with Mining Outcrops you can farm:

• 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 respawn in approximately 15-20 minutes. Utilize this downtime by farming in different areas before returning.

How to Use Lightcrystals

Once you've gathered enough Lightcrystals, head back to Gemma at Base Camp. She'll use them to forge and upgrade various weapons. Here's a list of equipment requiring 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, many of these items (excluding the Thunder Charm) will likely be outclassed relatively quickly. Don't get too attached—better gear is always around the corner!
