Upgrading your armor is crucial for survival in Monster Hunter Wilds, but simply crafting new sets isn't always the most efficient strategy. Upgrading existing armor keeps you competitive against increasingly challenging monsters. Here's how to acquire and utilize Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Obtaining Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds

Armor Spheres are primarily awarded as quest rewards. This means completing both main and optional quests will steadily provide you with this essential resource.

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 unlocked after this pivotal battle, will frequently include Armor Spheres among their rewards.

To preview potential rewards, access your quest journal, select a quest, and press R1. Successful hunts yield rewards displayed on the results screen.

Farming Armor Spheres is relatively straightforward. While progressing through the main story naturally provides a consistent supply, diligently completing optional quests significantly boosts your acquisition rate.

Utilizing Armor Spheres

Armor Spheres are vital for armor upgrades. At the base camp, speak with Gemma, the smithy, and select the option to forge or upgrade armor. Choose a crafted piece of gear and press R1 to access the Upgrade tab.

Select the armor piece you wish to enhance. You'll need Armor Spheres and Zenny to upgrade. Remember, the cost increases with each subsequent upgrade level.

That's how you obtain and use Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds. For more helpful tips and game information, check out The Escapist.
