In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, simply forging new armor sets isn't always the best strategy. Upgrading your existing armor can be a more efficient way to tackle the game's challenges. Here's a comprehensive guide on acquiring and utilizing 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 throughout the game.
As you advance through the main storyline, you'll begin to earn Armor Spheres as rewards once you've defeated Uth Duna for the first time. From that point onward, nearly all main and optional quests will offer Armor Spheres as part of their rewards.
To see what rewards are up for grabs, select a quest from your journal and press the R1 button to view the rewards list. Upon successfully completing a hunt, you'll receive your rewards on the results screen.
This makes Armor Spheres relatively easy to farm. You'll naturally accumulate a good number of them by progressing through the main story, but completing all optional quests diligently will significantly boost your stockpile.
How to Use Armor Spheres
Armor Spheres are crucial for upgrading your armor pieces. At the base camp, engage with Gemma the smithy and opt to either forge or upgrade your armor. Choose a piece of gear you've already crafted, then press R1 to navigate to the Upgrade tab.
Select the item you wish to upgrade, and you'll need to use Armor Spheres along with some Zenny to enhance it. Keep in mind that as you progress to higher upgrade levels, the cost to reach the next level will also increase.
