Monster Hunter Wilds Lightcrystal Farming Locations

Lightcrystals are mined from Mining Outcrops scattered throughout Monster Hunter Wilds. The drop rate is random, so persistence is key. Here are the areas with the best Mining Outcrops:

• 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

Mining Outcrops respawn approximately every 15-20 minutes. Utilize this downtime by farming in different areas before returning to already-mined locations.

How to Use Lightcrystals

Once you've amassed enough Lightcrystals, return to Gemma at Base Camp to forge or upgrade equipment. Lightcrystals are used in crafting the following items:

• 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 many of these items (excluding the Thunder Charm) will likely be quickly surpassed by better equipment as you progress. Don't be afraid to move on to stronger gear as it becomes available.
