Author : Andrew Update : Mar 14,2025

Gathering materials might seem insignificant early on, but they become crucial in *Monster Hunter Wilds*' endgame. This guide outlines the optimal gathering set for maximizing your material yield.

Monster Hunter Wilds: Best Gathering Set

For efficient material gathering in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, a strategic armor combination is key. Here's the top-performing set:

Head: Sild Hood (essential for the Botanist skill)
Chest: Conga Mail or Melahoa Jacket (choose based on your preference for Intimidator or other bonuses)
Arms: G. Rathalos Vambraces or Leather Gloves (again, choose based on desired skill bonuses)
Waist: High Metal Coil or Suja Sash
Legs: Azuz Pants (crucial for Geologist 3)
Charm: Marathon Charm or Intimidator Charm (select based on your chest and arm armor choices; complement Intimidator skill if not already present on armor)

The Sild Hood's Botanist skill is indispensable. The Conga Mail and Guardian Rathalos Vambraces offer Intimidator, preventing small monster interruptions. Alternatively, Leather pieces provide different beneficial skills. Azuz Pants are non-negotiable for their Geologist 3 bonus. Finally, choose either the Marathon or Intimidator Charm to complete the set, depending on your armor selections.

Best Gathering Skills

Effective gathering requires the right skills. Here are the most important:

Skill	Effect
Botanist	Increases the quantity of herbs and other consumable items gathered.
Geologist	Increases the number of items obtained from gathering points.
Intimidator	Reduces the chance of small monster attacks after being spotted (exceptions apply).
Aquatic/Oilslit Mobility	Grants resistance to mobility impairments in water, oilslits, or streams.
Entomologist	Prevents the destruction of small insect monster bodies, allowing carving.
Outdoorsman	Improves fishing, grilling, and transporting abilities.

Prioritize Botanist and Geologist for your gathering set. While other skills are valuable, these two are essential for maximizing your yields. Acquire the others as you progress.
