"Guide to Obtaining and Using Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds"

Crafting new armor sets is only part of the equation in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. As you dive deeper into the wilds and face tougher challenges, upgrading your existing armor becomes a smarter strategy to keep your gear competitive. One of the key resources you’ll need for this process is Armor Spheres—and here’s how to get and use them effectively.

How to Get Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds

Armor Spheres are primarily obtained as quest rewards throughout *Monster Hunter Wilds*. This means you’ll earn them by completing both main story quests and optional side quests.

You’ll start receiving Armor Spheres after defeating Uth Duna for the first time—a key milestone in the game's early progression. From that point onward, nearly every main and optional quest in the post-Uth Duna regions will offer Armor Spheres as potential rewards.

To see if a specific quest offers Armor Spheres, open your Quest Journal, select the mission, and press the R1 button to view its reward list. After successfully completing a hunt, you can also review your earned rewards on the post-hunt results screen.

Because they appear so frequently in quest rewards, Armor Spheres are quite easy to farm. Simply progressing through the main story will net you a steady supply, but you’ll collect even more if you make it a habit to complete all available optional quests along the way.

How to Use Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds

Armor Spheres play a crucial role in the gear upgrade system. To begin using them, visit Gemma the smithy at your base camp and choose either the Forge or Upgrade option from the menu. Select an already-crafted armor piece, then press R1 to switch to the Upgrade tab.

Once you’ve selected the armor you want to enhance, you’ll be prompted to spend both Armor Spheres and Zenny to increase its level. Keep in mind that the cost of upgrades increases as your gear levels up, so managing your resources wisely is essential to long-term progression.

And that’s all you need to know about how to get and use Armor Spheres in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. For more tips, guides, and updates, be sure to check out The Escapist regularly.
