How to Obtain Lightcrystal in Monster Hunter Wilds

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, slaying and capturing monsters are key, but sometimes, you'll need to gather materials yourself to craft the best armor and weapons. Let’s dive into how to farm Lightcrystals, an essential resource for your arsenal.

Monster Hunter Wilds Lightcrystal Farming Locations

To obtain Lightcrystals, you'll need to mine them from Mining Outcrops scattered throughout *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Keep in mind, the process can be quite random, so patience is key. Here's a comprehensive list of 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 you’ve mined them, Mining Outcrops will take approximately 15 to 20 minutes to respawn. Use this time to explore other areas for additional resources before returning to your Lightcrystal farming spots.

How to Use Lightcrystals

Once you’ve collected enough Lightcrystals, head back to Gemma at Base Camp. She’ll help you forge or upgrade the following equipment that requires 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

Note that many of these items, except for the Thunder Charm, might be quickly outclassed by better gear. So, while you're forging and upgrading, keep an eye out for superior replacements to keep your equipment top-notch.
