How to farm materials in Monster Hunter Wilds

The Material Retrieval mechanic in Monster Hunter Wilds becomes available after reaching High Rank and completing the main storyline. Players can unlock it by completing specific sidequests, with the first two being "Beware the Gypceros" and "Aida's Apprehensions." Villagers in the Forbidden Lands assist players by gathering essential items. Resting in a tent refreshes the items collected by villagers, and setting them to gather 'Any' provides a variety of items. The Gathering Boost mechanic is activated by helping a settlement in distress, allowing item gatherers to collect resources at an accelerated rate and enhancing item trading limits in the region.

How to catch a whopper in Monster Hunter Wilds

Whoppers can be found in the lake by area 17 in the Scarlet Forest, specifically above the dam. The term "whopper" refers to various sizable fish, including Gajau, Speartuna, and Great Trevally. To catch a whopper, equip the fishing rod, use the Starduster Rig lure, and follow these steps: pull the rod in the direction the fish swims when it bites, reel it in after it tires, and move the left stick in the direction the fish lands if it jumps. Fishing in open areas free from obstacles is recommended, and using a level one Ranger jewel can help. Successfully catching a whopper rewards players with five gunpowderfish scales, five honey, and 200 Guild Points.
