How to Get Lightcrystal in Monster Hunter Wilds

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

Monster Hunter Wilds Lightcrystal Farming Locations

Lightcrystals are found in Mining Outcrops scattered throughout various regions in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. While the drop rate can be unpredictable, perseverance is key. Below are the areas where you can find these 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, the outcrops will respawn in about 15 to 20 minutes, giving you ample time to explore other areas for different resources before returning to farm more Lightcrystals.

How to Use Lightcrystals

Once you've gathered enough Lightcrystals, head back to Gemma at Base Camp. She'll help you forge or upgrade the following pieces of equipment:

• 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, while these items are useful, many will be outclassed quickly as you progress. Don't get too attached to your gear; better replacements will become available as you delve deeper into the game.
