This should help you navigate through the game’s diverse arsenal effectively!

In any core Monster Hunter game, weapons serve as the fundamental structure. Yet, enhancing them might seem cumbersome within these mainline games. While Capcom aimed to simplify the upgrade and crafting process in Monster Hunter World, it may still appear complex for novice players.

In Monster Hunter, enhancing your weapons appears straightforward, but finding the necessary resources and choosing the ideal upgrade path can prove challenging, particularly for weapons offering various upgrade paths and distinct elemental properties. To make matters more complex, the game offers only minimal guidance on the upgrading system, which may leave some players puzzled.

I’m sorry to say that advancing significantly in the game’s storyline might be challenging if you don’t enhance your weapons. To assist those who are new to this, here’s a detailed guide on weapon upgrading specifically designed for Monster Hunter Wilds.

How To Unlock Weapon Upgrades in Monster Hunter Wilds

In Monster Hunter Wilds, you can immediately start enhancing your weapons from the very beginning. Upon finishing the prologue and the initial main story hunt known as “Quematrice”, you’ll be able to create and enhance your preferred weapon up to Rarity 2. In Low Rank, you’re granted access to Rarity 4 weapons. As you continue through the main story quests, more upgrade tiers will become available. Once you wrap up the final main story quest in High Rank, you’ll gain access to Rarity 7 upgrades, which is the highest base tier in Monster Hunter Wilds. Each weapon improvement requires resources that can be gathered by hunting monsters or scouring the open-world maps.

The organization of weapon enhancements is categorized by types of monsters, with unique trees such as Bone, Speartuna, and Hope also available. These special trees provide upgrades that go up to Rarity 7. To enhance or create a weapon, head to the Smithy, which is Gemma, and pick the “Forge/Upgrade Weapon” option from the menu. Select the upgrade route you prefer from the displayed list, paying attention to the resources required at the bottom of the list. Adding the upgrade path to your Wishlist will help you monitor the necessary resources during hunts.

Keep in mind that some improvements necessitate crafting weapons from lower Rarity branches initially. For example, before advancing to the Guardian Indomitable Perceval (Rarity 7 Switch Axe), you must first create the Bone Switch Axe at Rarity 1.

Can You Upgrade Armor in Monster Hunter Wilds?

After learning about weapon enhancements in Monster Hunter Wilds, you might be curious about a similar process for armor pieces. While there is an armor upgrade system in MH Wilds, it functions differently compared to weapons. Once you’ve crafted an armor set or piece, you can elevate it to specific levels (up to 7 in High Rank). To achieve this, you will require Armor Spheres. Importantly, these upgrades aren’t accessible from the start. Instead, they become available after completing the main story quest that transports you to the Oilwell Basin. As for obtaining Armor Spheres, they can be earned by finishing hunting missions or Daily Bounties.
