In Monster Hunter Wilds, we always seek the perfect gear setup to be able to hunt the biggest and most fierce Monsters. However, no one ever thinks about the best in slot gear if you just need to go on a gathering trip to farm all kinds of plants, ores, and more! Sometimes, those get interrupted by a monster who decides it will not let you gather the plant in peace, which can be annoying.
To counter this problem, Reddit user KraftyMattKraft came up with the “Ultimate Outdoor Skill Build“. This build prioritizes efficiency in resource collection:
Gear Needed for the Build:
In order for this to work, you first need to get the following gear pieces:
- Sild Hood Alpha: You need to check two NPCs regularly, and trade with them two Sild Cotton:
- Ren in the Ruins of Wyveria: can trade against Genesis Opal, Mature Wyveria Lantern, or Fossilized Fire Opal
- Gawdygog in the Scarlet Forest: trades it against 10 Ancient Wyvern Coins
- Melahoa Jacket Alpha: You need to trade for a Great Hibiscus:
- Ren in the Ruins of Wyveria: can trade against Fossilized Fire Opal
- Gawdygog in the Scarlet Forest: trades it against 10 Ancient Wyvern Coins
- Leather Gloves Alpha: This one should automatically unlock once you reach High Rank
- Suja Sash Alpha: You need to trade for Suja Textiles with:
- Sekka in Suja: she trades against Dragonscale Vase
- Gawdygog in the Scarlet Forest: trades it against 10 Ancient Wyvern Coins
- Azuz Pants Alpha: You need to trade for Azuz Tanned Leather:
- Yabran and Dogard in Oilwell Basin: They accept Fine Antimite, Wylk Gem, or Time-honed Wylk Gem
- Gawdygog in the Scarlet Forest: trades it against 10 Ancient Wyvern Coins
Decorations and Charm Required to Make It Work:
Once you have all the required gear, here is the list of Decorations you will need to complete the build:
- x2 Maintenance Jewel Level 2
- x2 Hungerless Jewel Level 1
- x2 Adapt Jewel Level 1
- x2 Mirewalker Jewel Level 1
- x1 Growth Jewel Level 1
- x1 Ranger Jewel Level 1
- x1 Specimen Jewel Level 1
On top of those Decorations, you want to add an Intimidator Charm III.
All this will give you a total of the following skills:
- Tool Specialist 5
- Botanist 4
- Divine Blessing 3
- Hunger Resistance 3
- Intimidator 3
- Geologist 3
- Adaptability 2
- Aquatic/Oilsilt Mobility 2
- Self-Improvement 1
- Entomologist 1
- Outdoorsman 1
- Forager’s Luck
Another player suggested going for Earplugs 3 as well, as this will help in case Monsters do aggro you. You can use the Xu Wu Alpha Vambraces and Xu Wu Beta Coil for this if you want. Use the Ghillie Mantle as well every time it is available, as it will help you avoid combat.
This set should help you comfortably explore all the zones and collect as many materials as you need, without being too bothered by Monsters!
