In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, simply forging new armor sets isn't always the best strategy. Upgrading your existing armor can be a more effective way to tackle the increasingly tough challenges you'll face. Here's a detailed guide on how to acquire and utilize Armor Spheres in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Getting Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds
Armor Spheres are primarily obtained as quest rewards in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. You'll start receiving them after completing both main and optional quests. The key milestone is defeating Uth Duna for the first time; after this, Armor Spheres become a common reward for quests that follow.
To see what rewards you can expect, select a quest from your journal and press the R1 button to view the rewards list. Upon successfully completing a hunt, you'll see your rewards on the results screen. This makes Armor Spheres quite farmable; you'll accumulate a good number just by progressing through the main story, and even more if you tackle optional quests diligently.
How to Use Armor Spheres
Armor Spheres are crucial for upgrading your armor pieces. To do this, head to base camp and talk to Gemma the smithy. Choose to either forge or upgrade your armor. Select a piece of gear you've already crafted, then press R1 to switch to the Upgrade tab. Choose the item you wish to upgrade, and you'll need to spend Armor Spheres along with some Zenny. Keep in mind that the higher the upgrade level, the more it will cost to reach the next level.
That's the complete guide on how to get and use Armor Spheres in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
