Monster Hunter Wilds: The 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 Botanist skill)
- Chest: Conga Mail or Melahoa Jacket
- Arms: G. Rathalos Vambraces or Leather Gloves
- Waist: High Metal Coil or Suja Sash
- Legs: Azuz Pants (Essential for Geologist 3)
- Charm: Marathon Charm or Intimidator Charm (Choose based on your chest and arm piece selections; select Intimidator if you didn't choose Intimidator armor, and vice versa.)
The Sild Hood is indispensable for its Botanist skill. The Conga Mail and Guardian Rathalos Vambraces offer Intimidator, preventing small monster interruptions. Alternatively, Leather pieces provide different beneficial skills. The Azuz Pants are crucial for the Geologist 3 skill. Finally, choose your charm based on whether you've already incorporated Intimidator into your armor.

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

Botanist | Increases the quantity of herbs and other consumable items gathered. |
