In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, simply forging new armor sets isn't always the best approach. Upgrading your existing armor can be a more strategic way to tackle the increasingly tough challenges you'll face. Let's dive into how to obtain and effectively use Armor Spheres in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Getting Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds
Armor Spheres are primarily obtained as quest rewards in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. You'll start receiving them after completing both main and optional quests. As you progress through the main storyline, defeating Uth Duna for the first time marks the point where Armor Spheres begin to appear as rewards. From then on, most quests following Uth Duna will offer Armor Spheres.

To check available rewards, select a quest from your journal and press the R1 button to view the rewards list. Once you've successfully completed a hunt, you'll see your rewards on the results screen. This makes Armor Spheres relatively easy to farm. You'll naturally accumulate a good number of them by playing through the main story, and even more if you diligently tackle all the optional quests as they become available.
How to Use Armor Spheres

Armor Spheres are crucial for upgrading your armor pieces. When you're back at base camp, chat with Gemma the smithy and opt to forge or upgrade your armor. Choose a piece of gear you've already crafted, then hit R1 to switch to the Upgrade tab. Select the item you wish to enhance, and you'll need to use Armor Spheres along with some Zenny to complete the upgrade. Keep in mind, the higher the upgrade level, the more it will cost to reach the next level.
