Monster Hunter Wilds: Best Gathering Set
For efficient material gathering in Monster Hunter Wilds, you'll need a strategic armor combination. This is the best setup:
- Sild Hood: Essential for the Botanist skill, boosting herb and consumable item drops.
- Conga Mail or Melahoa Jacket: Provides Intimidator, minimizing small monster interruptions. Alternatively, use Leather pieces for different bonuses.
- G. Rathalos Vambraces or Leather Gloves: Pairs well with Conga Mail for Intimidator; Leather Gloves offer alternative benefits.
- High Metal Coil or Suja Sash: Offers flexibility depending on your chosen armor pieces.
- Azuz Pants: Absolutely necessary for Geologist 3, significantly increasing gathering efficiency.
- Marathon Charm or Intimidator Charm: Choose Marathon if you already have Intimidator from armor; otherwise, select the Intimidator Charm.
Best Gathering Skills
The right armor is only half the battle; you also need these key active skills:
| Skill | Effect |
|---|---|
| Botanist | Increases gathered herbs and consumables. |
| Geologist | Increases item yields at gathering points. |
| Intimidator | Reduces small monster attacks. (Exceptions apply.) |
| Aquatic/Oilslit Mobility | Improves mobility in water and similar environments. |
| Entomologist | Prevents small insect monster bodies from destruction, allowing carving. |
| Outdoorsman | Enhances fishing, grilling, and transport. |
Prioritize Botanist and Geologist for your gathering set. While other skills are beneficial, these two are paramount. The rest can be acquired over time.
