Master MH Wilds Armor Upgrades Fast!
To upgrade armor in Monster Hunter Wilds, you'll need to progress through the game until you reach Chapter 2. Specifically, you'll unlock the ability to upgrade armor after completing the 'Toward Fervent Fields' quest at the start of Chapter 2, which involves hunting a Rompopolo.
Once unlocked, follow these steps to upgrade your armor:
- Visit any Smithy in the game.
- Select the 'Forge/Upgrade Armor' option.
- Choose the armor piece you want to upgrade.
- Select the 'Upgrade' option.
- Use Armor Spheres to add points and level up your armor.
Armor Spheres come in different types, each providing a different number of upgrade points:
- Regular Armor Sphere: 10 points
- Armor Sphere+: 50 points
- Advanced Armor Sphere: 200 points
The number of upgrade levels available depends on the armor's rank:
- Low Rank armor: 8 levels, with each level requiring 30 points up to Level 6, and 200 points for levels 7 and 8.
- High Rank armor: 4 levels, with each level requiring 200 points.
Armor Spheres can be obtained as rewards from quests and assignments. You can check which quests offer Armor Spheres by reviewing the quest information before accepting it.
Remember to use your Armor Spheres wisely, as each piece of armor has a maximum upgrade level. It's best to save your more valuable Spheres for higher-ranked armor pieces that can make full use of the upgrade points.
