How to get Ancient Wyvern Coins in Monster Hunter Wilds

by

As you advance into the High Rank in Monster Hunter Wilds, discovering Ancient Wyvern Coins becomes more significant since they offer a wide range of goods via the Item Trade feature. Notably, Gawdygog, who resides in Scarlet Forest’s Wudwud Hideout, offers an array of items for these coins, including some exclusive items that can only be obtained from other traders and help unlock secret armor sets.

Looking for tips on obtaining secret armor sets in Monster Hunter Wilds? Our other guide provides a detailed explanation on how to get all 11 of these sets and the necessary items, but securing them from Gawdygog can save you time. Instead of waiting for a trader’s inventory to update, you can directly acquire the required Ancient Wyvern Coins using the methods outlined below.

By the way, here’s a handy hint: Save your Ancient Wyvern Coins until you reach High Rank because that’s when the necessary items for those armor sets will initially appear.

Catch Curioshell Crabs

As a gamer, here’s how I’d rephrase it:

First off, I discovered a way to get coins – by capturing Curioshell Crabs using my trusty capture net. To acquire this capture net, you need to complete research quests for Dareel at the Windward Plains Base Camp. These quests become available after you’ve defeated the Alpha Doshaguma. You’ll recognize when a Curioshell Crab is nearby because Alma will point it out, saying “Look! That creature seems to be holding something.” Keep an eye out for these crabs clinging onto coins and take them down with your capture net. Your first few encounters might be around the area between 14 and 15 in the underground section of the Windward Plains.

If catching them isn’t really your thing, you can also opt to kill Curioshell Crabs if that suits you better. Just remember to keep an eye on your resources!

Smash pillars and rocks

To clarify, I’m not referring to any ordinary pillars. The massive stone pillars and rock formations that monstrous creatures can destroy or you can manipulate yourself, contain the elusive Ancient Wyvern Coins. Their origins remain a mystery. These coins tend to appear at random locations, but I’ve managed to find two specific ones.

The first one is situated on the pillar in area 15, where you engage with the Balahara. This beast will climb onto this very same pillar to spit venom at you, but it can be toppled and destroyed, occasionally releasing a coin. The second one can be found in area 5, where you might encounter Rey Dau during combat. If you mount a monster there, Rey Dau will headbutt a nearby pillar, shattering it. One of these shattered pillars may contain an Ancient Wyvern Coin.

Trade for them

After reaching the Iceshard Cliffs region and establishing commerce with the peculiar Wudwud mystic named Rove who resides there, you may occasionally trade items for Ancient Wyvern Coins. When you advance to High Rank, Nata will serve as your trading center, eliminating the need to frequently return to the cliffs to check what Rove has available for trade.

Complete certain quests

There are specific missions that offer numerous Ancient Wyvern Coins: “Aberrant Atrocity” and “What we Protect”. The first quest can be obtained from Rove in the Iceshard Cliffs when you reach HR 15 and finish an urgent mission. In this mission, Rove tasks you with eliminating a Yian Kut-Ku, rewarding you with five coins. The second quest becomes accessible after completing the HR 20 priority mission. You’ll find Alma at your tent to assign this quest. She requests you to hunt a Blanconga, which rewards you with ten coins and unlocks the Artian armor set for crafting as an extra bonus.

Straight up find them

As a gamer, I stumbled upon Ancient Wyvern Coins scattered across specific regions in the game map, but my luck with finding them didn’t kick in until I advanced to High Rank. The locations where these coins appear aren’t always the same, but if you’re running low on coins and are really in need, you can adjust the time at your tent, causing the coin to respawn a few times. Two places where I discovered potential coin drops were at the bottom of the pit in area 9 of the Oilwell Basin, and another spot was on the other side of the diving section in area 8’s underground lake within the Scarlet Forest.
