How to Farm Armor Spheres Guide

How to farm Armor Spheres guide in Monster Hunter Wilds (MH Wilds). Read to discover the best way to farm armor spheres, uses of Armor spheres, and how to get Armor Spheres.

How to Farm Armor Sphere

The best way to gather Armor Spheres is through Quest farming and refinement. They are also available from delivery bounties, so work on them at the same time.

Simplest Method Is Completing Quests

Armor Spheres can be obtained as rewards from most quests. As you work on raising your Hunter Rank or gathering materials, you'll naturally collect them.

Available Ranks for Each Armor Sphere

Types	Available Rank
Armor Sphere	★2 Quest and higher
Armor Sphere+	★3 Quest and higher
Advanced Armor Sphere	★4 Quest and higher
Hard Armor Sphere	★6 Quest and higher
Heavy Armor Sphere	★7 Quest and higher

Collect by Using Excess Materials for Refinement

By talking to Roqul at the Oilwell Basin camp, you can smelt Armor Spheres using excess materials. The higher the rank of the materials, the more spheres you gain from smelting, so gather materials from High Rank quests to refine them.

Defeat of Nu Udra in the Story

To unlock the Smelt Foundry you must progress the story to Chapter 2 where players must Defeat Nu Udra.

Obtained Through Item Trade

Whether you can trade for an Armor Sphere is random, but you can acquire it via Item Trade with NPCs. Item Trade can be performed at the white icon locations on the map, so check their item trade list when you come across one.

Obtained From Delivering Bounties

The distribution bounties available at the support desk may grant you Armor Spheres, including the top-tier Heavy Armor Spheres. Distribution bounties require an online connection to be received, but they offer valuable items beyond just Armor Spheres, so check the bounty details regularly.

Obtained With Login Bonus

There's a chance to receive an Armor Sphere as a login bonus. While it's not always guaranteed, there are also other items that you can claim as rewards for logging in daily.

Obtained Through Campaign
