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 in quests that follow.
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. This makes Armor Spheres quite farmable. You'll naturally accumulate a good number of them by progressing through the main story, and even more if you diligently complete optional quests as they become available.
How to Use Armor Spheres
Armor Spheres are crucial for upgrading your armor pieces. When you're back at base camp, talk to Gemma the smithy and opt to forge or upgrade your armor. Choose a piece of gear you've already crafted, then press R1 to switch to the Upgrade tab. Select 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.
