Monster Hunter Wilds Best Gathering Set

When you're out specifically for gathering materials in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll need a mix and match of armor pieces for the best bonuses. Here's the best gathering armor set for that:

  • Sild Hood
  • Conga Mail or Melahoa Jacket
  • G. Rathalos Vambraces or Leather Gloves
  • High Metal Coil or Suja Sash
  • Azuz Pants
  • Marathon Charm or Intimidator Charm

The Sild Hood is essential for your gathering efforts, as it directly provides the Botanist skill, crucial for efficient gathering. I prefer having Intimidator to avoid dealing with small monsters while gathering, which is why I recommend the Conga Mail and Guardian Rathalos Vambraces. However, you can opt for Leather pieces if you prefer different bonuses.

The Azuz Pants are a must-have as they give you Geologist 3, significantly enhancing your gathering efficiency.

For the Charm slot, choose between Marathon or Intimidator, depending on your armor choices. If you didn't select Intimidator on your armor pieces, then use the Intimidator Charm, and vice versa.

Best Gathering Skills

In addition to the right armor pieces, having the right active skills is vital. Here are the essential skills you'll want to equip while gathering materials in *Monster Hunter Wilds*:

BotanistIncreases the quantity of herbs and other consumable items you gather.
GeologistIncreases the number of items you gain at gathering points.
IntimidatorReduces the chance small monsters will attack after spotting you. Has no effect on certain monsters.
Aquatic/Oilslit MobilityGrants resistance against impairments to mobility while in water, oilslit, or streams.

In my opinion, Botanist and Geologist are the must-have skills for your gathering armor set. Even if you don't have all the ideal armor pieces yet, prioritizing these two skills is key. The other skills can be added as you progress.
