Monster Hunter Wilds Lightcrystal Farming Locations
Lightcrystals are obtained by mining Mining Outcrops found throughout Monster Hunter Wilds. The drop rate is random, so persistence is key. Here are the areas with 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
Mining Outcrops respawn in approximately 15-20 minutes. Utilize this downtime by farming other materials 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 or upgrade the following 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 that many of these items (excluding the Thunder Charm) will likely be quickly surpassed by better equipment as you progress.
