    Maximize Your MH: Wilds Armor Upgrade Guide

    To upgrade armor in Monster Hunter Wilds, follow these steps:

    Unlocking Armor Upgrading

    1. Progress the Story: Armor upgrading becomes available after reaching Chapter 2-2 of the main story. This occurs after defeating the monster Rompopolo in the Oilwell Basin region.
    2. Visit Gemma, the Smithy: Speak to Gemma at any Base Camp, particularly in the Oilwell Basin, to unlock the armor upgrading feature.

    Upgrading Armor

    1. Access the Smithy: Visit the Smithy and select the "Forge/Upgrade Armor" menu. You can either forge new armor or upgrade existing pieces.
    2. Use Armor Spheres: Upgrading requires Armor Spheres, which provide points to increase an armor piece's level. Different types of Armor Spheres (e.g., Armor Sphere, Armor Sphere+, Advanced Armor Sphere) offer varying amounts of points.
      • Low Rank armor typically requires fewer points (e.g., 30 points per level up to Level 6).
      • High Rank armor demands more points, with later levels requiring 200 points per upgrade.
    3. Provide Materials and Currency: In addition to Armor Spheres, you may need specific monster materials and in-game currency (z) to complete upgrades.

    Tips

    • Each armor piece has a maximum level, so plan your upgrades wisely.
    • Mix and match armor sets for optimal skills and resistances.

    By following these steps, you can ensure your hunter is well-equipped for tougher challenges in Monster Hunter Wilds.
