In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, simply forging new armor sets won't always cut it. As the game progresses, upgrading your existing armor with Armor Spheres becomes crucial to tackle tougher challenges. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to acquire and utilize Armor Spheres effectively.
Acquiring Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds
Armor Spheres in *Monster Hunter Wilds* are primarily obtained as rewards for completing both main and optional quests. You'll start receiving these valuable items as quest rewards after defeating Uth Duna for the first time. From that point onward, nearly all quests following Uth Duna will offer Armor Spheres as part of their rewards.
To see what rewards you can earn, simply select a quest from your journal and press the R1 button to view the rewards list. Once you successfully complete a hunt, the rewards will be displayed on the results screen.
Thanks to this system, Armor Spheres are quite farmable. By naturally progressing through the main story, you'll accumulate a good number of them. Additionally, if you're thorough about completing all available optional quests, you'll amass even more Spheres.
Using Armor Spheres
Armor Spheres are essential for upgrading your armor pieces, which is key to enhancing your combat effectiveness. To upgrade your gear, head to the base camp and speak with Gemma, the smithy. Choose the option to forge or upgrade your armor, then select an already crafted piece of gear. Press R1 to switch to the Upgrade tab.
Once you've selected the item you wish to upgrade, you'll need to spend Armor Spheres and Zenny. Keep in mind that the higher the upgrade level, the more resources it will cost to reach the next level.
