"Guide to Acquiring Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds"

Slaying monsters is thrilling, but if you're aiming to gather every monster part for armor forging in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll also need to master the art of trapping. This requires specific materials, particularly Trap Tools. Here’s your guide on how to obtain and use Trap Tools effectively.

Where to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds

*Monster Hunter Wilds* might not directly guide you on trapping monsters or acquiring Trap Tools, but if you're familiar with the series, the process will ring a bell. To get your hands on Trap Tools, visit the Provisions Stockpiler NPC at your Base Camp. Engage with him, browse through his inventory, and you'll find Trap Tools available for purchase at 200 Zenny each. It's wise to stock up on these, especially if you're planning to farm specific monsters or aiming to capture a variety of them.

Remember, Trap Tools are exclusively available for purchase at the Base Camp and cannot be found in the wild like other resources.

How to Use Trap Tools

With your Trap Tools in hand, it's time to deploy them effectively. You can combine them with a Net (using Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap, or pair them with a Thunderbug Capacitor to craft a Shock Trap. Both types of traps are effective, but be mindful that some monsters have resistances. For example, Shock Traps are ineffective against Rey Dau, the lightning dragon, so in this case, opt for a Pitfall Trap.

Also, keep in mind that you can only carry one Trap item at a time, so use them strategically when the monster is weakened for the best results.

That's the rundown on how to acquire and utilize Trap Tools in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
