The Hunter's Essentials: Gear & Items — Monster Hunter Wilds Walkthrough
In Monster Hunter Wilds, items are crucial for survival and success, providing aid, recovery, buffs, or materials for crafting. These items are stored in your Item Pouch and can be sourced from monster drops, quest rewards, or by purchasing them from merchants like Ralph. Understanding item categories and their uses is vital for efficient hunting.
The Grand Hub serves as a new gathering area where hunters can interact, participate in activities like arm-wrestling and Barrel Bowling for hunting items, and share meals. Access to the Grand Hub unlocks at HR 16 after speaking with Tetsuzan in Suja. The Squad Information Counter also relocates here for convenient squad management.
Main Missions guide players through their Assignments, marking progress and advancing the story. While they offer modest item rewards, they are essential for unlocking new content. Optional Quests, unlocked through Assignments, NPC interactions, or exploration, provide valuable opportunities to farm materials and upgrade equipment. These quests can be replayed multiple times, making them ideal for gathering resources.
When in camp, you will find:
- Your tent
- Gemma, for gear-related discussions
- Ralph, the provisions merchant for purchasing items
- Gin, the Palico handling the support desk for DLC, news, and the ingredient center
