Monster Hunter Wilds Lightcrystal Farming Locations

Lightcrystals are found at Mining Outcrops scattered throughout the game world of Monster Hunter Wilds. While the process can be hit or miss due to randomness, perseverance is key. Here are all the prime locations where you can find Mining Outcrops to farm Lightcrystals:

• Windward Plains: Areas 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 10, 17
• Oilwell Basin: Areas 4, 6, 7
• Iceshard Cliffs: Areas 8, 16
• Ruins of Wyveria: Area 5

After you’ve mined an outcrop, it takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes for it to respawn. Use this time to explore other areas and gather different resources before looping back to your Lightcrystal spots.

How to Use Lightcrystals

Once you've gathered a sufficient amount of Lightcrystals, head back to Gemma at Base Camp. You can use them to forge or upgrade the following weapons and equipment:

• Guild Knight Sabers I
• Dragon Perforator II
• Dual Hatchets II
• Triple Bayonet II
• Iron Assault II
• Iron Gale II
• Chain Blitz II
• Iron Accelerator II
• Hyperguard II
• Buster Sword II
• Iron Hammer II
• Metal Bagpipe II
• Chrome Drill II
• Iron Katana II
• Iron Beater II
• Ingot Vambraces
• Thunder Charm III

Keep in mind that, except for the Thunder Charm, much of this gear might soon be outclassed by newer, more powerful options. So, while these items are valuable, always be on the lookout for upgrades.
