In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, simply forging new armor sets might not suffice as you progress through the game. Upgrading your existing armor can be a crucial strategy to tackle the increasing challenges. Here’s how to acquire and utilize Armor Spheres to enhance your gear.
Getting Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds
Armor Spheres are primarily obtained as rewards for completing both main and optional quests in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Once you conquer Uth Duna for the first time, you'll begin to receive Armor Spheres as part of your quest rewards. From that point onward, nearly all main and optional quests will offer these valuable items.
To see what rewards are up for grabs, navigate to a quest in your journal and press the R1 button to view the rewards list. After a successful hunt, you'll see your rewards on the results screen. This makes Armor Spheres quite farmable; you'll accumulate a substantial number just by progressing through the main story, and even more if you diligently tackle all available optional quests.
How to Use Armor Spheres
Armor Spheres are essential for upgrading your armor pieces. At base camp, engage with Gemma the smithy and opt to either forge or upgrade your armor. Choose a piece of gear you've already crafted, then press R1 to switch to the Upgrade tab. Select the item you wish to enhance, and you'll need to provide Armor Spheres along with some Zenny. Keep in mind that the cost to upgrade increases as you reach higher levels.
That's the complete guide on how to get and use Armor Spheres in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
