In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, upgrading your existing armor sets can be a strategic move to tackle the increasingly tough challenges you'll face. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to acquire and effectively use Armor Spheres in the game.
Armor Spheres are primarily obtained as quest rewards in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. You'll start earning them after completing main and optional quests. A significant milestone is defeating Uth Duna for the first time; from this point onward, nearly all quests following Uth Duna will reward you with Armor Spheres.
To see what rewards you can expect, simply select a quest from your journal and press the R1 button to view the rewards list. Upon successfully completing a hunt, you'll receive your rewards on the results screen. This makes Armor Spheres relatively easy to farm. By progressing through the main storyline and diligently tackling optional quests as they become available, you'll accumulate a substantial number of Spheres.
Armor Spheres are crucial for upgrading your armor pieces. To do this, head to the base camp and speak with Gemma, the smithy. Choose to either forge or upgrade your armor. Select the piece of gear you wish to enhance, then press R1 to access the Upgrade tab. Choose the item you want to upgrade, and you'll need to spend Armor Spheres along with some Zenny. Keep in mind that the cost in both Armor Spheres and Zenny increases as you advance to higher upgrade levels.
