In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, simply forging new armor sets isn't always the best strategy. At times, upgrading your existing armor can be more beneficial to tackle the increasingly tough challenges. Here's a comprehensive 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; post this victory, Armor Spheres become a common reward for quests following Uth Duna.
To see what rewards you can earn, 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.
Armor Spheres are quite farmable, meaning you'll accumulate a good number of them by naturally progressing through the main story. Additionally, completing optional quests diligently will boost your Sphere collection even further.
How to Use Armor Spheres
Armor Spheres are crucial for upgrading your armor pieces. To do this, head to the base camp and talk to Gemma the smithy. Choose the option to 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 cost to upgrade increases as you reach higher levels.
