Recommended Equipment for Gravios Farming in Monster Hunter Wilds is Water Element Artian Heavy Bowgun. The equipment shown above is an example of armor and decorations that can be reliably obtained, serving as a helpful reference for your Gravios farming setup.

Having a Capacity Boost Helps Save Time

For the Artian weapon's Production and Reinforcement Bonus, we recommend Capacity Boost. Try to get this bonus when applying it.

Compromise Equipment

For weapons, any Artian weapon capable of firing Water Ammo is fine. For armor, there's no need to perfect it; just focus on assembling what you can.

Add Skills with Your Available Decorations

*This lists Decorations with single skills. They can also be substituted with double skills if you have any available.

By adding skills like Earplugs or firepower through decorations in the available armor slots, you can further shorten the time it takes. If you have the decorations on hand, it's a good idea to equip them.

Unlock Optional Quest by Hunting Gravios on the Map

The Optional Quest 'Armor Like a Mountain' is unlocked after clearing Chapter 4-1 by hunting Gravios that appears on the map, such as in the Oilwell Basin. If the Optional Quest doesn't unlock after clearing Chapter 4-1, try hunting Gravios in the Oilwell Basin or Ruins of Wyveria.

Aim for Gravios' Abdomen with Water Ammo

Gravios is located right outside the camp, so start shooting Water Ammo. The abdomen is its weak spot, so aim for the center of its body to deal more damage. If you can keep staggering it, you can defeat it without taking any hits.

Use Items to Save Time

Capture Items and Traps
Shock Trap	- Trap for Capturing └ Can be quickly used
Pitfall Trap	- Trap for Capturing
Tranq Ammo	- Necessary for Capturing └Tranq Bombs also works.
Attack Up Items
Corrupted Mantle	- Using an attack power boost can save a lot of time.
Might Seed	- Attack Up Item with a 3-minute effect duration. - Easy to gather the required amount through material gathering quests. - Can also be found in Area 12 of Oilwell Basin.
Demondrug	- Attack Up with a 30-minute effect duration. - Use Mega Demondrug if you have the resources.
Demon Powder	- Attack Up Item with a 3-minute duration. - It further boosts firepower in addition to using seeds and potions. - An option for further time reduction.
Powercharm	- Attack Up just by having it in your pouch. - Obtain from a Side Mission 'As Gatekeeper'

Using various buff and capturing items can shorten the time it takes for one run. If you want to improve efficiency, make sure to bring them along.

Replenish Ammo and Accept the Quest Again

Once you defeat Gravios and complete the quest, replenish your items and accept the quest again. If you are going to use a lot of items, it's convenient to register them in your item loadout.

Benefits and Rewards

Easily Level up Your Hunter Rank

The benefit of Gravios farming is that it allows for easy Hunter Rank progression. Since it's an optional quest, you can farm it indefinitely, and with its low difficulty, you can easily level up even if you're playing solo.

Additional Melding Options at HR100

Once your Hunter Rank reaches 100, additional melding options become available, allowing you to create more decorations and specify Artian parts. This expands your equipment crafting possibilities, so aim for HR 100 first.

Gather Materials for Smelting

The materials obtained from farming Gravios can be used for smelting. They can be converted into Armor Spheres for armor upgrades or Oricalcite for Artian weapon upgrades, so make sure to utilize them.
