How to get Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds
You can get Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds by:
- Completing main story quests.
- Completing optional quests at Alma's Quest Counter.
- Trading with Gawdygog in the Wudwud hideout located in the Forest region.
- Converting monster parts into Armor Spheres from the Smelting Foundry.
The most consistent way to get Armor Spheres is by talking to Roqul at the Smelting Foundry in the Azuz, the Everforge area of the Basin region. Here, you can smelt unused monster parts into different types of Armor Spheres. However, the Smelting Foundry doesn't unlock until you complete the 'Born from the Flame' main story quest at the start of Chapter 3.
Different types of monster parts give you different Smelting Point amounts, and the quality and quantity of smelted Armor Spheres depends on the amount of Smelting Points you gain from the materials used.
Here's all the types of Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds, and how many points they give you:
- Armor Sphere - 10 points
