In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, simply crafting new armor sets might not suffice as you face tougher challenges. Enhancing your existing armor can be a strategic move to stay ahead. Here's your guide on how to obtain and utilize Armor Spheres in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Armor Spheres in *Monster Hunter Wilds* are typically awarded as quest rewards. You can earn them by completing both main and optional quests throughout the game.
As you delve deeper into the main storyline, Armor Spheres become part of the rewards after your initial victory over Uth Duna. From that point forward, expect to receive Armor Spheres from most main and optional quests you tackle.
To see what rewards are up for grabs, choose a quest from your journal and press the R1 button to view the rewards list. After a successful hunt, your rewards will be displayed on the results screen.
This system makes Armor Spheres relatively easy to farm. By naturally progressing through the main story and diligently completing optional quests as they appear, you'll amass a solid collection of Spheres.
Armor Spheres are crucial for upgrading your armor pieces. When you're back at base camp, have a chat with Gemma, the smithy, and opt to forge or upgrade your gear. Select a piece of armor you've already crafted, then press R1 to navigate to the Upgrade tab.
Choose the item you wish to enhance, and you'll need to provide Armor Spheres along with some Zenny. Keep in mind, the higher the upgrade level, the steeper the cost to reach the next level becomes.
