"Guide to Obtaining Lightcrystal in Monster Hunter Wilds"

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, slaying and capturing monsters is just part of the adventure. To craft the finest armor and weapons, you'll also need to gather materials yourself. One essential resource you'll want to farm is Lightcrystals. Here’s your comprehensive guide on how to efficiently farm Lightcrystals in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Monster Hunter Wilds Lightcrystal Farming Locations

Lightcrystals in *Monster Hunter Wilds* can be harvested from Mining Outcrops. Keep in mind, the drop is random, so patience is key as you might need several attempts to gather enough.

  • Oilwell Basin: Areas 4, 6, 7
  • Iceshard Cliffs: Areas 8, 16
  • Ruins of Wyveria: Area 5

After mining, these outcrops will respawn in about 15 to 20 minutes. Use this time to explore other areas for additional resources before returning to continue farming.

How to Use Lightcrystals
