In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, slaying monsters is just part of the adventure. To fully equip yourself with top-notch armor and weapons, you'll need to gather essential materials like Lightcrystals. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to efficiently farm Lightcrystals and what to do with them once you've collected enough.

Monster Hunter Wilds Lightcrystal Farming Locations

Lightcrystals in *Monster Hunter Wilds* are primarily found at Mining Outcrops. Given their random drop nature, patience is key as you might need several attempts to gather a substantial amount. Here are the best locations where you can find Mining Outcrops to farm Lightcrystals:

• 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

Remember, after you've mined from an outcrop, it will take around 15 to 20 minutes to respawn. Use this time to explore other areas and gather additional resources before returning to the same spot.

How to Use Lightcrystals

Once you've amassed a good stock of Lightcrystals, head back to Base Camp to meet Gemma. She can use these crystals to forge or upgrade your equipment. Below is a list of items that require Lightcrystals:

• 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, except for the Thunder Charm, may be outclassed quickly as you progress through the game. It's wise not to become too attached to your gear, as you'll likely find superior alternatives soon.
