Monster Hunter Wilds Lightcrystal Farming Locations

Lightcrystals are found by mining Mining Outcrops scattered throughout Monster Hunter Wilds. The drop rate is random, so persistence is key. Here are the areas with 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

Mining Outcrops respawn in approximately 15-20 minutes. Use this downtime to farm other materials in different areas before returning.

How to Use Lightcrystals

Once you've collected enough Lightcrystals, head back to Gemma at Base Camp. She'll use them to forge or upgrade the following equipment:

  • 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

Keep in mind that many of these items (excluding the Thunder Charm) will likely be replaced by better equipment as you progress.
