Master the Wilds with MH: Wilds Firestone Guide

Firestone is a material in Monster Hunter Wilds that plays a crucial role in crafting and upgrading equipment, particularly fire-based weapons and armor. Here's what you need to know about Firestone:

Obtaining Firestone

Firestone can be obtained primarily through mining in the Oilwell Basin region:

• Mining Outcrops: Firestone has a chance to drop from any Mining Outcrop in the Oilwell Basin.
• Rarity: It's considered a relatively rare drop, so you may need to mine multiple outcrops to find one.
• Identification: Mining Outcrops appear as large, geode-like structures with sharp blue crystals and are marked on the map with a blue question mark.

Farming Tips

To efficiently farm Firestone:

1. Location: Focus on areas 4 and 6 near the Everforge base camp, which have two mining outcrops each.
2. Lower Areas: Explore the bottom of the map in areas 13, 16, and 17 for additional outcrops.
3. Respawn Time: Mining Outcrops regenerate after approximately 15 minutes.
4. Reset Method: Use the "Rest" option in your tent to change the time of day and reset all Mining Outcrops in the area.

Uses of Firestone

Firestone is used in crafting and upgrading various equipment:

• Weapons: Used for upgrading several weapons in the Quematrice tree, such as Quematrice Arco II and Quematrice Espada II.
• Armor: Required for crafting and upgrading armor pieces like Azuz Pants Alpha, Gravios Mail, and Rathalos Coil.

Additional Information

• Firestone is described as "ore that is scorching even at room temperature" and can be used to fuse materials.
• It's particularly important for players focusing on fire-based builds or fire resistance.
• The material becomes available after defeating the Rompopolo in the Oilwell Basin during the main story.

Remember to use Cool Drinks when exploring the lower lava pit areas of the Oilwell Basin to prevent health decrease.
