Firestone Monster Hunter Wilds - Ultimate Survival Tips
Firestone is a rare crafting material in Monster Hunter Wilds used to create powerful weapons and armor, especially those with fire-based properties. Here’s how to find it:
Where to Find Firestone
- Primary Location: Firestone can only be mined from Mining Outcrops in the Oilwell Basin. These outcrops are identifiable by their geode-like appearance with sharp blue crystals growing inside them.
- Best Areas in Oilwell Basin:
- Above Ground: Areas 6 and 7 have multiple outcrops.
- Volcanic Core: Areas 13, 16, and 17 offer the highest chances but require Cold Drinks to survive the heat.
- Mining Process:
- Interact with Mining Outcrops to collect up to three ores per harvest.
- If your companion gathers first, you may get an additional ore.
- Outcrops respawn after 15–30 minutes or can be reset by changing the time of day using the "Rest" option in your tent.
- Tips for Efficiency:
- Use the in-game map's "Filter Icons" feature to highlight Mining Outcrop locations for easier navigation.
- Progressing through the story can also reward you with Firestone, such as defeating certain bosses like Rompopolo.
Firestone is crucial for crafting early fire-element weapons like the Quematrice set and armor such as Ingot Graves, making it a valuable resource during Low Rank gameplay.
