Where to find all Crafting Materials in Monster Hunter Wilds

The starter region, Windward Plains, is rich with beneficial resources, from healing herbs to powerful bugs. You’ll open the door to more materials as you progress through Monster Hunter Wilds‘ main campaign, unlocking more locations for you to discover. A select few Crafting Materials will be easy to acquire, as Arthur will put them up for sale via the Base Camp’s Provisions Stockpile.

Completing missions will also provide you with goods, often rewarding you with restorative items. Alternatively, you can find them yourself through standard exploration with the map’s Filter Icons section. Let’s break down all the methods you can use to get each Crafting Material in Monster Hunter Wilds.

You can use your Slinger to gather most materials, whether on foot or while riding your Seikret. Remember, some resources are region-restricted, including cool-temperature items for Oilwell Basin. The Chillshroom is a must-have in a heated environment, similar to Iceshard Cliff’s Hot Pepper item.

Other Monster Hunter Wilds’ Crafting Materials require you to do some crafting first. For instance, you’ll need an Ivy and Spider Web to make a Net. It’ll probably take a bit of time to gather every item, and you’ll likely need to complete the main campaign to truly experience everything the game has to offer. Given the vastness of Monster Hunter Wilds‘ expansive map, there might be a few elusive items that didn’t make it onto this list. I’ll update this guide if I discover any new resources in the Forbidden Lands.
