How To Easily Obtain Rare Monster Gems in Monster Hunter Wilds?

by

Discover comprehensive insights on the various gems found in Monster Hunter Wilds, along with expert tips for efficiently gathering the elusive materials from rare monsters.

In Monster Hunter games, including the latest addition Monster Hunter Wilds, Gems are among the scarcest resources for crafting. Despite the recent franchise entry simplifying the process of gathering resources, obtaining the rare materials from monsters remains challenging. Depending on the game’s random number generator (RNG), it could take you anywhere from a few hours to nearly an entire week to get your hands on those elusive monster components.

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but marvel at the scarcity of those enchanting Gems among the various monster materials. The odds of obtaining one are staggeringly low, a mere 3% chance, whether you choose to slay or capture the monstrous creature. Much like the elusive Gold Crowns, these Gems are rarer than a phoenix’s first feather. However, the advent of the Investigations system has opened up a few strategies for us persistent seekers to “harvest” these precious Gems from their monster guardians.

In this article, we’ll provide you with all the essential information regarding the magical gems known as Gems in Monster Hunter Wilds, along with tips on how to gather them effectively. Enjoy your reading!

How To Obtain Monster Gems in Monster Hunter Wilds?

In battle against a monster, The Gems could drop about 3%, but some specific monsters may carry a higher rate of up to 5%. However, it’s important to note that the 5% drop chance only occurs when you successfully sever the monster’s tail (if it has one), and collecting a tail is also an option. Keep in mind, not all monsters have tails, so only those with tails can potentially offer the higher Gem drop rate.

Monsters such as Chatacabra, Lala Barina, Doshaguma, Uth Duna, Gypceros, Nerscylla, and so on, do not possess or have tails that can be carved. Instead, you’re reliant solely on a 3% Random Number Generator (RNG) factor for these creatures. Carving a tail may increase the likelihood of obtaining Gems, but it’s not guaranteed. Typically, you will receive a “monster tail” as your reward when carving.

Previously, capturing monsters in Monster Hunter series, notably in Monster Hunter Rise, often led to obtaining a Gem more frequently. Contrastingly, this doesn’t seem to hold true for Monster Hunter Wilds. In our experiments, it was discovered that slaying a monster and then manually carving it is the more dependable approach for getting Gems. Despite this, there are methods in Monster Hunter Wilds to guarantee a Gem acquisition, though with some conditions attached.

Best Farming Methods for Monster Gems

As a seasoned Monster Hunter Wilds gamer, I’ve discovered two primary strategies to ensure a monster Gem drop:

1. Manipulating the weather cycle system – This requires some patience and a bit of luck, but it can be quite effective once you get the hang of it.

2. Joining multiplayer Investigations – Teaming up with other hunters increases your chances of encountering rare monsters, including those elusive Gems.

However, both methods require reaching the endgame, a milestone that could take anywhere between 30 to 40 hours, depending on your proficiency and how many optional quests you decide to embark on.

When you reach the final phase, you’ll have the ability to save and distribute your ‘Investigations’. This is the method we’re adopting to ensure a minimum of one ‘Gem’ drop when defeating or capturing monsters. Both strategies promise at least one Gem per encounter. However, acquiring the optimal set of Investigations might require some patience since they too are subject to random chance. On a positive note, Investigations can also be utilized in multiplayer settings, and you can quickly filter SOS calls based on the rewards you’re seeking. Here’s a comprehensive look at the two methods for farming Gems:

1. Slaying/Capturing Monsters: By completing Investigations on monsters, there’s a chance you’ll receive Gems upon successful capture or defeat.
2. Multiplayer SOS Requests: Join other players’ hunts by responding to their SOS calls for help. The rewards can include Gems and other valuable items. The type of request you choose depends on the rewards you desire.

Weather Cycle and Investigations

Among the two methods, the first one might prove more challenging is the approach called “weather cycling” for gathering Investigations. By conducting an Investigation, you’ll discover the main prizes that come with its completion. One such reward could be the valuable Monster Gems.

As you scour for monsters during your Investigations, take note of the special rewards that you gain upon finishing the quest. These bonuses are clearly outlined in the Investigation’s description. Although it’s not very common, certain Investigations may offer a monster Gem as an extra reward. Successfully saving and concluding these Investigations will secure you 3 guaranteed Gems.

Multiplayer Investigations

As a gamer, I’ve found a clever trick for multiplayer hunts that makes gathering those hard-to-find resources a breeze. It’s called the Investigation method. Here’s how it works: When scoping out SOS hunts, make sure to filter the quests by ‘High Rank Investigations’. This will let you see what rewards you’ll get once you complete the hunt. Take a look at all the available SOS requests and see if any of them offer the gem you’re seeking as a completion reward. It might take a few tries to find the right SOS request, but with the game being new and having an active player base, it shouldn’t be too tough. Just remember that you can only check rewards for quests marked as ‘Investigations’.

For Optional Quests or Assignments, you cannot check the rewards before setting out on the hunt.
