In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, simply crafting new armor sets isn't always the best strategy. Sometimes, upgrading your existing armor to meet the game's tougher challenges is the smarter move. Here's your guide on how to obtain and utilize Armor Spheres in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Getting Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds
Armor Spheres are primarily awarded as quest rewards in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. You can earn them by successfully completing both main and optional quests throughout the game.
As you advance in the main storyline, you'll start receiving Armor Spheres as rewards after defeating Uth Duna for the first time. From this point forward, most main and optional quests will offer Armor Spheres as part of their rewards.
To see what rewards a quest offers, open your journal, select a quest, and press the R1 button to view the rewards list. Upon completing a hunt successfully, you'll receive your rewards on the results screen.
This makes Armor Spheres quite farmable. You'll naturally accumulate a good number of them by progressing through the main story, but tackling all available optional quests will significantly boost your supply.
How to Use Armor Spheres
Armor Spheres are crucial for upgrading your armor pieces. At base camp, talk to Gemma the smithy and choose to either forge or upgrade your armor. Select a piece of gear you've already crafted, then press R1 to switch to the Upgrade tab.
Choose the item you wish to upgrade, and you'll need to spend Armor Spheres along with some Zenny. Keep in mind that the higher the upgrade level, the more it will cost to reach the next level.
