Slaying monsters is thrilling, but to collect all the parts needed for crafting armor, you'll need to master the art of trapping them. In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, acquiring Trap Tools is essential for this task. Let's dive into how you can get these crucial items.
Where to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds
While *Monster Hunter Wilds* doesn't provide explicit instructions on trapping monsters or obtaining Trap Tools, seasoned players of the series will find the process familiar.
To acquire Trap Tools, head to the Provisions Stockpiler NPC at your Base Camp. Engage in conversation with him and navigate through his inventory until you spot the Trap Tools, priced at 200 Zenny each. It's advisable to purchase several, particularly if your goal is to farm specific monsters or aim to capture each creature in the game.
Remember, the only source for Trap Tools is the Base Camp's Provisions Stockpiler; you won't stumble upon them out in the wild like other resources.
How to Use Trap Tools
With your Trap Tools in hand, it's time to utilize them effectively. Combine them with a Net (crafted using Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap, or with a Thunderbug Capacitor to form a Shock Trap.
Both types of traps are effective, but be mindful that some monsters are resistant to specific traps. For example, Shock Traps are ineffective against Rey Dau, a lightning dragon, making Pitfall Traps your go-to choice for this creature.
Keep in mind, you can only carry one Trap item at a time, so deploy them strategically when the monster is weakened.
