How Does Weapon Sharpness Decay in Monster Hunter Wilds?

Your weapon sharpness in Monster Hunter Wilds decays by the following methods:

  • Weapon hits
  • Guarding
  • Shelling

With each strike from your weapon, it gradually loses its edge. Consequently, weapons that are quicker and rely on numerous blows, such as Dual Blades, cause the sharpening to deplete at a faster rate. However, aside from attacking, other actions like defending (Guards), perfect defenses, or even shielding (Shelling) for Gunlance will also contribute to your weapon’s sharpness degradation.

Aim to keep your damage multiplier above 1 at all times, avoiding situations where it dips into the negative range. This means you can usually continue using your weapon as long as its sharpness level is Green or better. However, once it turns Yellow, focus on restoring the weapon’s sharpness to deal maximum overall damage effectively.

How To Regain Weapon Sharpness in Monster Hunter Wilds?

In Monster Hunter Wilds, as a gamer, I find myself reaching for the trusty Whetstone when my weapon needs a little TLC. This handy tool is always ready in my Radial menu. The less sharp my weapon, the more times I’ll need to use the Whetstone to get it back to its optimal sharpness level.

As a connoisseur of fine weapons, I’ve discovered a clever trick: instead of stopping to sharpen your blade in the open, do it while moving on your stealthy Seikret. This way, you can keep yourself mobile and less exposed, ensuring a safer sharpening process. It’s interesting to note that higher-tier weapons boast more levels of sharpness compared to their lower-tier counterparts, making them a bit trickier but also more rewarding to maintain.
