Farming in Monster Hunter Wilds means the process of gathering resources such as monster parts, ores, herbs, or insects.

Monster parts are essential for crafting weapons and armor. They are obtained by hunting, capturing, and carving monsters. Some gear will require very specific monster parts so make sure you check the requirements before heading into a hunt. Here are some tips on how to farm efficiently:

• Target Specific Monsters: Each monster drops unique materials. Hunt the ones that drop what you need.
• Break Monster Parts: Attacking specific body parts increases the chance of getting those specific parts as drops. For example if you need a horn, you will have to hit as often as possible the horn of the monster to increase its drop chances.
• Capture instead of killing: Some things require monster parts that only drop when you capture it insted of killing it. In order to capture, you need to use your traps.
• Join Multiplayer Hunts: More players means faster hunts and increased rewards.
• Prioritize your Weapon upgrades: A better weapon means more damage, which means faster killing, and as a results more materials gathered in a shorter amount of time.
