Gathering materials might seem like a minor task at first glance, but it becomes crucial as you progress into the endgame of *Monster Hunter Wilds*. To optimize your resource collection, here's the best gathering set tailored for material gathering:
When you're out to gather materials in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll need to strategically combine armor pieces to maximize your gathering efficiency. Here's the optimal gathering armor set:
The Sild Hood is indispensable for gathering, as it provides the Botanist skill, which is vital for enhancing your herb and consumable item collection. I personally favor the Intimidator skill to avoid interruptions from small monsters, which is why I recommend the Conga Mail and Guardian Rathalos Vambraces. However, you can opt for Leather pieces if you're looking for different bonuses.
The Azuz Pants are a must-have, granting you Geologist 3, significantly boosting your gathering efficiency.
For the Charm slot, choose between Marathon or Intimidator based on your armor choices. If you haven't selected Intimidator on your armor, use the Intimidator Charm, and vice versa.
Alongside the right armor, equipping the correct active skills is essential for effective material gathering in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Here are the key skills you should have:
| Skill | Effect |
|---|---|
| Botanist | Increases the quantity of herbs and other consumable items you gather. |
| Geologist | Increases the number of items you gain at gathering points. |
| Intimidator | Reduces the chance small monsters will attack after spotting you. Has no effect on certain monsters. |
| Aquatic/Oilslit Mobility | Grants resistance against impairments to mobility while in water, oilslit, or streams. |
| Entomologist | The bodies of small insect monsters won’t be destroyed, allowing them to be carved. |
| Outdoorsman | Improves fishing, grilling, and transporting abilities. |
In my experience, Botanist and Geologist are the non-negotiable skills for any gathering set. Even if you're missing some armor pieces, prioritizing these skills will still enhance your gathering. The other skills can be added as you progress and acquire more gear.
