The best early-game items to craft in Monster Hunter Wilds

In Monster Hunter Wilds, much like its previous versions, the game revolves around tracking down and hunting monstrous creatures, collecting their resources, enhancing equipment by crafting superior gear, and then pursuing even more formidable beasts. This cycle is a recurring theme throughout the campaign and post-game content, making it crucial to decide on a progression strategy from the get-go for this guide. Here, we’ve chosen to concentrate on weapons, armor, and consumables that can be crafted effectively for beginners.

Weapon option: Bone Tree -> Quematrice Tree and Lala Barina Tree

Before you opt for crushing massive beasts with brute force in their heads, we highly recommend checking out our thoroughly prepared top weapon guide. This comprehensive resource provides valuable insights into the most suitable weapons based on your preferred role or gaming style. Furthermore, don’t forget to experiment with various moves and combos at the Training Grounds.

Regardless of your decision, we suggest that in Monster Hunter Wilds, you should consider crafting the item from the first option on the Bone Tree as our top early-game choice. This item can be made with 500 Zenny and 2 Mystery Bones, which are abundant in the Windward Plains.

In comparison to the standard Hope variant, the Bone-type version boasts a slightly increased attack power. This enhanced attack can be used as a foundation to create advanced versions. Depending on the weapon classification, the Bone Tree could potentially result in either the Quematrice or Lala Barina options, but it may not always do so. Regardless, these weapons are beneficial additions to your arsenal.

  • Quematrice variant (fire element/burning status): Requires 3x Quematrice Scale, 2x Quematrice Igniter, and 1x Quematrice Crest.
  • Lala Barina variant (thunder element/paralysis status): Requires 3x Lala Barina Shell, 2x Lala Barina Mucus, and 1x Lala Barina Claw.

In the opening stages of the game, you’ll come across the Quematrice in the Windward Plains habitat. This peculiar creature’s components can be used to craft a weapon imbued with fire energy. Later on, when you find yourself tangling with the Lala Barina in the Scarlet Forest biome, you’ll discover that their defenses are vulnerable to fire, making this weapon particularly effective against them.

Armor option: Lala Barina and Piragill

Regarding the Lala Barina, this spider-flower blend is particularly beneficial for creating a weapon that delivers both shock and paralysis effects. Additionally, certain items can be utilized to assemble several components of the Lala Barina equipment set. As you journey through the Scarlet Forest, keep an eye out for a Piragill, a creature with one gear component that you can construct.

  • Barina Headgear: Requires 2x Lala Barina Floret and 1x Lala Barina Mucus.
  • Barina Mail: Requires 2x Lala Barina Floret, 2x Lala Barina Shell, and 1x Lala Barina Stinger.
  • Barina Vambraces: Requires 2x Lala Barina Shell and 1x Lala Barina Claw.
  • Barina Coil: Requires 1x Lala Barina Mucus, 1x Lala Barina Claw, and 1x Lala Barina Stinger.
  • Piragill Greaves: Requires 1x Piragill Fin and 1x Malachite Ore.

We advise picking up these items as they are crucial for facing the Uth Duna, a formidable foe found in the Scarlet Forest biome. If you usually depend on AI allies or SOS Flare during gameplay and find yourself playing solo, this battle could prove challenging since only Olivia and your Palico can assist you. Unfortunately, the other companions won’t be summoned at all. But if you have extra water resistance from the gear mentioned earlier, you should be able to endure Uth Duna’s attacks for extended periods.

Consumables: Mega Potion and Traps

To wrap things up, let’s discuss the top options for creating consumables. It’s beneficial to amass a good number of Potions initially since they can help with healing. Interestingly enough, you won’t need to craft Potions using Herbs; instead, simply purchase them from the Provisioner NPC at your base.

As you delve further, keep an eye out for Honey. Combining it with a single Potion will create a Mega Potion, which heals a larger quantity when used.

While discussing the creation of consumable items, remember that traps are also an option. To set up a trap for monsters, you’ll require a Trap Tool along with other necessary materials. If you prefer capturing rather than immediately killing them, this might be helpful. For more details, please refer to our guide on trap and capture mechanics.
