Gathering materials might not seem crucial at first in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, but it becomes vital in the endgame. To optimize your material collection, here's the best gathering set and skills you should equip.
When your mission is to gather materials in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, choosing the right armor set is key. Here's the optimal gathering armor set for maximizing your efficiency:
The Sild Hood is essential, providing the Botanist skill, which is crucial for gathering. I prefer using Intimidator to avoid interruptions from small monsters, which is why I recommend the Conga Mail and Guardian Rathalos Vambraces. However, if other bonuses appeal to you, swapping them for Leather pieces is a viable option.
The Azuz Pants are non-negotiable, offering Geologist 3 to enhance your gathering efficiency significantly.
For the Charm slot, choose between Marathon and Intimidator based on your armor setup. If Intimidator isn't in your armor pieces, opt for the Intimidator Charm, and vice versa.
In addition to the right armor, having the correct active skills is crucial for gathering materials in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Here are the key skills you should have:
| Skill | Effect |
|---|---|
| Botanist | Increases the quantity of herbs and other consumable items you gather. |
| Geologist | Increases the number of items you gain at gathering points. |
| Intimidator | Reduces the chance small monsters will attack after spotting you. Has no effect on certain monsters. |
| Aquatic/Oilslit Mobility | Grants resistance against impairments to mobility while in water, oilslit, or streams. |
| Entomologist | The bodies of small insect monsters won’t be destroyed, allowing them to be carved. |
| Outdoorsman | Improves fishing, grilling, and transporting abilities. |
In my experience, Botanist and Geologist are indispensable for your gathering set. Even if you don't have all the ideal armor pieces yet, prioritizing these skills will still boost your gathering efficiency. The other skills can be added as you progress.
That's our guide on the best gathering armor set in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and information on the game, including how to obtain Commission Tickets and Frenzy Shards and Crystals, be sure to visit The Escapist.
