Monster Hunter Wilds Lightcrystal Farming Locations
Lightcrystals are found by mining Mining Outcrops in Monster Hunter Wilds. The drop rate is random, so be patient! Here are locations 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 time to farm other materials in different areas before returning.
How to Use Lightcrystals
Once you've gathered enough Lightcrystals, return to Gemma at Base Camp to forge or upgrade weapons. Lightcrystals are required for 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 outclassed quickly, so don't get too attached! Better gear is usually just around the corner.
