Top Gathering Armor Set Revealed for Monster Hunter Wilds

Gathering materials might not seem crucial at first glance in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, but it becomes vital as you progress into the endgame. To optimize your material collection, here's the best gathering set and skills you should consider.

Monster Hunter Wilds Best Gathering Set

When you're focused on gathering materials in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, selecting the right armor pieces is key to maximizing your efficiency. Here's the optimal gathering armor set:

  • Sild Hood
  • Conga Mail or Melahoa Jacket
  • G. Rathalos Vambraces or Leather Gloves
  • High Metal Coil or Suja Sash
  • Azuz Pants
  • Marathon Charm or Intimidator Charm

The Sild Hood is essential for your gathering endeavors, as it provides the Botanist skill, which is crucial for enhancing your material collection. I prefer using Intimidator to avoid interruptions from small monsters while gathering, which is why I recommend the Conga Mail and Guardian Rathalos Vambraces. However, you can opt for Leather pieces if you're looking for different bonuses.

The Azuz Pants are indispensable, offering Geologist 3, which significantly boosts your gathering efficiency.

For the Charm slot, choose between Marathon or Intimidator based on your armor setup. If you haven't included Intimidator in your armor, use the Intimidator Charm, and vice versa.

Best Gathering Skills

In addition to the right armor, equipping the appropriate skills is crucial for effective gathering in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Here are the key skills you should have:

Skill Effect
Botanist Increases the quantity of herbs and other consumable items you gather.
Geologist Increases the number of items you gain at gathering points.
Intimidator Reduces the chance small monsters will attack after spotting you. Has no effect on certain monsters.
Aquatic/Oilslit Mobility Grants resistance against impairments to mobility while in water, oilslit, or streams.
Entomologist The bodies of small insect monsters won’t be destroyed, allowing them to be carved.
Outdoorsman Improves fishing, grilling, and transporting abilities.

In my opinion, Botanist and Geologist are the must-have skills for your gathering set. Even if you don't have all the ideal armor pieces yet, prioritizing these two skills is essential. The other skills can be acquired as you progress.
