While slaying monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is thrilling, capturing them to harvest every part for your armor forging journey is equally crucial. To master this art, you'll need Trap Tools. Here’s your comprehensive guide on how to obtain and effectively use these essential items.

Where to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds

*Monster Hunter Wilds* might not directly guide you on trapping or acquiring Trap Tools, but if you're familiar with the series, you'll find the process intuitive.

Your first stop should be the Provisions Stockpiler NPC at your Base Camp. Engage with him, and browse his inventory until you spot the Trap Tools. Each will set you back 200 Zenny. Stock up on these; they're vital if you're aiming to farm specific monsters or collect every creature in the game.

Remember, Trap Tools are exclusively available for purchase at the Base Camp and won't be found scattered across the wilderness like other resources.

How to Use Trap Tools

With your Trap Tools in hand, it's time to leverage them. Combine them with a Net, using Spiderweb or Ivy, to create a Pitfall Trap, or pair them with a Thunderbug Capacitor for a Shock Trap.

Both traps serve their purpose well, but keep in mind that some monsters have resistances. For example, the lightning dragon Rey Dau won't be fazed by a Shock Trap, making the Pitfall Trap your go-to option in such cases.

Also, note that you can only carry one Trap item at a time, so timing is everything—deploy your trap when the monster is weakened for the best chance of success.
