While slaying monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is exhilarating, mastering the art of trapping them is crucial for gathering every monster part needed for armor forging. To successfully trap these beasts, you'll need specific materials, starting with Trap Tools. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to acquire and utilize Trap Tools in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Where to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds

*Monster Hunter Wilds* might not directly guide you through the process of trapping monsters or acquiring Trap Tools, but if you're familiar with the series, you'll find the process intuitive.

Your primary source for Trap Tools is the Provisions Stockpiler NPC located at your Base Camp. Engage with him, browse through his inventory, and you'll find Trap Tools available for purchase at 200 Zenny each. It's wise to stock up on a good number of them, particularly if your goal is to farm specific monsters or complete your collection by catching each monster in the game.

Keep in mind, Trap Tools can only be obtained by buying them at Base Camp; they are not available in the wild like other resources.

How to Use Trap Tools

Once you've acquired your Trap Tools, it's time to deploy them effectively. You can combine them with a Net (crafted using Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap, or with a Thunderbug Capacitor to form a Shock Trap.

Both types of traps are effective, but be aware that certain monsters have immunities. For example, Shock Traps are ineffective against Rey Dau, a lightning dragon, making Pitfall Traps the better choice in this scenario.

Remember, you can only carry one Trap item at a time, so timing is key. Use your traps when the monster is weakened for the best chance of success.
