Nightflower Pollen - How to Get and Uses

Nightflower Pollen is obtained by harvesting Ephemeral Blossoms in Monster Hunter Wilds (MH Wilds). Read on to learn how to farm Nightflower Pollen as well as its uses and more!

Nightflower Pollen Marathon is No Longer Possible

Retire Farming is No Longer Possible

As of Patch Ver.1.000.05.00, the regularity of the full moon cycle during Optional Quests has been changed in such a way that it is no longer possible to force full moons to appear continuously. This means that it is no longer possible to run Nightflower Pollen marathons using the traditional method.

Can Still Be Gathered in the Field

Although you can no longer force a continuous full-moon, the conditions under which Ephemeral Blossoms bloom and the full moon cycle remain unchanged. Therefore, it is still possible to repeat the process of setting the overworld to a state where a full moon appears and then gather 2 Nightflower Pollen.

How to Farm Nightflower Pollen (Post Update)

Restart Game Then Harvest on a Full Moon

The most effective way to farm Night Flower Pollen is by setting the time to Full Moon and gathering. One run takes around 9 minutes in total and produces 2 pcs of Nightflower Pollen per round.

Recommended Locale is the Scarlet Forest

During a full moon, it is not possible to gather Nightflower Pollen across two maps. Therefore, you will need to choose between the Windward Plains and the Scarlet Forest.

Between these two, we recommend heading to Scarlet Forest since you can farm Guild Points and other items in addition to harvesting Nightflower Pollen.

Unlock Resting

To efficiently collect Nightflower Pollen, one must first unlock the Rest function in base camp. This unlocks during the events of Chapter 4 in the main story. Play through the game until you've unlocked resting before initiating your Nightflower Pollen farm.

Set Up Pop-Up Camps

Southwest Area 14	Treetop Hill Area 18

To efficiently gather Nightflower Pollen, you will want to set up two Pop-Up Camps in the Scarlet Forest in advance for fast traveling purposes. One in Area 14, and another in Area 18.

Rest Until Evening

If you rest until night, you will not be able to obtain the Nightflower Pollen. Make sure to select 'Evening' when resting as a full moon only occurs once the game transitions from evening to night. It doesn't matter what environment you choose.

Quit and Restart the Game

After resting and exiting the tent, exit the game and then start it up again right away. After loading into the game, it will be evening, but this process of quitting and restarting the game guarantees a full moon at night.

Return to Title Does Not Work

Selecting the Return to Title option does not force a full moon to occur. You will have to fully exit and restart the game in order to get a full moon once the game transitions from evening to night.

Gather Nightflower Pollen

1	Wait for Evening to Transition to Night
2	Fast travel to Area 14
3	Fast Travel to Area 18
4	Return to Base Camp
5	Check Item Trade - Repeat from Step 3

Locate Ephemeral Blossoms

Before starting the run, make sure to learn the locations of both the Ephemeral Blossoms. The first location is beyond the vine you climb in the Southwestern portion of Area 14. The second location is in Area 18; when you fast travel there, it will be right in front of you.

Collect Other Items While Waiting

Notable Items List
Mandragora	Blue Mushroom	Nitroshroom	Parashroom
Honey	Bitterbug Broth	Godbug Essence	Flashbug Phosphor
Spider Web	Ivy	Shiny Treasure	Gobletweed
Queensbloom Pollen	Whetfish Fin	Sushifish Scale

There is a waiting time of approximately 7 minutes until the Ephemeral Blossoms that produce Nightflower Pollen blooms. The Scarlet Forest is an easy map for item gathering and collecting guild points, so you can gather other items besides the Nightflower Pollen while waiting.

How to Farm Guild Points

Item Trade at Base Camp After Gathering

Once you have collected both Nightflower Pollen, the run is complete. After returning to the base camp, speak to Nata and check the Item Trade lineup. After that, repeat the entire process from Step 3 by resting at the camp until evening, and then exit and restart the game.

Nightflower Pollen Locations

Obtained in the Windward Plains and Scarlet Forest

Nightflower Pollen in Monster Hunter Wilds can only be obtained during full moon nights in the Windward Plains and the Scarlet Forest. There are two collection points on each map.

Use Map Filter to Find Ephemeral Blossoms

Geologist Skill Does Not Work

Nightflower Pollen is not affected by the Geologist Skill's gathering effect. Since only one can be obtained per location, be sure to collect it when you find one.
