"Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds: Acquisition and Usage Guide"

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, simply forging new armor sets isn't always the best strategy. Upgrading existing armor using Armor Spheres can be more effective in keeping up with the game's escalating challenges. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to obtain and utilize Armor Spheres effectively.

Getting Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds

Armor Spheres in *Monster Hunter Wilds* are primarily awarded as quest rewards. You'll start receiving them upon completing both main and optional quests. The pivotal moment comes after defeating Uth Duna for the first time; post this milestone, nearly all quests from Uth Duna onward will offer Armor Spheres as part of their rewards.

To check potential rewards, select a quest from your journal and press the R1 button to view the rewards list. Upon successfully completing a hunt, you'll receive your rewards on the results screen. This system makes Armor Spheres readily farmable. By progressing through the main storyline and tackling optional quests diligently, you'll accumulate a substantial number of Armor Spheres.

How to Use Armor Spheres

Armor Spheres are crucial for upgrading your armor pieces, enhancing their defensive capabilities and sometimes unlocking new skills. To upgrade your gear, head to the base camp and speak with Gemma the smithy. Choose to either forge new items or upgrade existing ones. Select the armor piece you wish to improve, then press R1 to access the Upgrade tab.

Choose the item you want to upgrade, and you'll need to spend Armor Spheres along with some Zenny. Keep in mind that the cost to upgrade increases with each level, so plan your upgrades strategically.
