How to Obtain and Utilize Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, simply forging new armor sets isn't always the best strategy. Upgrading your existing armor with Armor Spheres can be a smarter move to tackle the increasingly tough challenges you'll face. 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*. This means you'll start collecting them as you successfully complete both main and optional quests throughout the game.

Your journey to acquiring Armor Spheres begins after you defeat Uth Duna for the first time in the main story. From that point onwards, nearly all main and optional quests will reward you with Armor Spheres.

To check what rewards a quest offers, navigate to the quest in your journal and press the R1 button to view the rewards list. Upon completing a hunt successfully, you'll see your rewards displayed on the results screen.

This makes Armor Spheres relatively easy to farm. By playing through the main story naturally, you'll accumulate a good number of them. Additionally, completing optional quests diligently will further boost your Armor Sphere collection.

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 choose to either forge new gear or upgrade existing pieces. Select an item you've already crafted, then press R1 to switch to the Upgrade tab.

Choose the item you wish to upgrade, and you'll need to use Armor Spheres along with some Zenny to proceed with the upgrade. Keep in mind that the cost in terms of both Armor Spheres and Zenny increases as you aim for higher upgrade levels.
