How to Get & Use Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds

Upgrading your armor is crucial for survival in Monster Hunter Wilds, but simply crafting new sets isn't always the most efficient strategy. Upgrading existing armor allows you to keep pace with increasingly challenging hunts. Here's how to acquire and utilize Armor Spheres.

Obtaining Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds

Armor Spheres are primarily obtained as quest rewards. Completing both main and optional quests will yield these valuable resources.

You'll begin receiving Armor Spheres after defeating Uth Duna for the first time in the main storyline. Subsequently, most main and optional quests, particularly those following the Uth Duna encounter, will offer Armor Spheres as rewards.

To preview potential rewards, select a quest from your journal and press R1. Your rewards will be displayed after a successful hunt.

Farming Armor Spheres is relatively straightforward. While progressing through the main story naturally provides a steady supply, diligently completing optional quests significantly boosts your collection.

Utilizing Armor Spheres

Armor Spheres are essential for armor upgrades. At base camp, speak with Gemma the smithy, selecting the "forge or upgrade" option. Choose an existing piece of crafted gear and press R1 to access the Upgrade tab.

Select the item you wish to upgrade. You'll need Armor Spheres and Zenny to proceed. Remember that upgrade costs increase with each subsequent level.
