Upgrading your armor is crucial for survival in Monster Hunter Wilds, but simply crafting new sets isn't always the most efficient approach. Upgrading existing armor allows you to keep pace with increasingly challenging hunts. This guide explains how to obtain and utilize Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds.
Obtaining Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds
Armor Spheres are primarily acquired as quest rewards. Completing both main and optional quests will yield these valuable resources.
You'll begin receiving Armor Spheres after defeating Uth Duna for the first time in the main storyline. Subsequent main and optional quests, particularly those following the Uth Duna encounter, frequently include Armor Spheres as rewards.
To preview quest rewards, access your journal, select a quest, and press R1. Your rewards will be displayed upon successful quest completion.
Farming Armor Spheres is relatively straightforward. While progressing through the main story naturally provides a steady supply, diligently completing optional quests significantly boosts your acquisition rate.
Using Armor Spheres
Armor Spheres are essential for armor upgrades. At base camp, interact with Gemma the smithy, selecting the "forge or upgrade" option. Choose an existing piece of crafted gear, then press R1 to access the Upgrade tab.
Select the armor piece you wish to upgrade. You'll need to provide Armor Spheres and Zenny to proceed. Note that upgrade costs increase with each subsequent level.
