In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, simply crafting new armor sets might not suffice as you advance through the game. To tackle the increasingly tough challenges, upgrading your existing armor using Armor Spheres becomes essential. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to acquire and utilize Armor Spheres effectively in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Getting Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds
Armor Spheres are primarily awarded as quest rewards within *Monster Hunter Wilds*. You can earn them by successfully completing both main and optional quests throughout the game.
As you delve deeper into the main storyline, you'll start receiving Armor Spheres as rewards after your first victory against Uth Duna. From that point onward, nearly all main and optional quests following Uth Duna will offer Armor Spheres as part of the rewards.
To view potential rewards, select a quest from your journal and press the R1 button to access the rewards list. Upon completing a hunt successfully, you'll receive your rewards on the results screen.
Thanks to their frequent availability as quest rewards, Armor Spheres are quite farmable. You'll accumulate a substantial number by naturally progressing through the main story, and even more if you diligently tackle optional quests as they become available.
How to Use Armor Spheres
Armor Spheres play a crucial role in upgrading your armor pieces. To upgrade, head to the base camp and speak with Gemma, the smithy. Opt to forge or upgrade your armor, then select a piece of gear you've already crafted. Press R1 to switch to the Upgrade tab.
Choose the item you wish to upgrade, and you'll need to provide Armor Spheres along with Zenny. Be aware that the cost to upgrade increases as you reach higher levels.
