Monster hunting is thrilling, but to harvest every valuable monster part for crafting powerful armor, mastering the art of trapping is essential. This requires specialized tools. Here's how to acquire Trap Tools in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

Where to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds

While *Monster Hunter Wilds* doesn't explicitly guide you on trapping, it's a familiar mechanic for series veterans. You obtain Trap Tools by purchasing them from the Provisions Stockpiler NPC at your Base Camp. Simply talk to him, browse his inventory, and you'll find Trap Tools priced at 200 Zenny each. Stock up! It's highly recommended to buy several, especially if you plan on farming specific monsters or aiming for a complete collection.

Importantly, Trap Tools are exclusively purchased at Base Camp; they aren't found as wild resources.

How to Use Trap Tools

With Trap Tools in hand, let's learn how to use them. Combine them with a Net (using Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap, or with a Thunderbug Capacitor for a Shock Trap.

Both trap types are effective, but remember that certain monsters are immune to specific traps. For example, Shock Traps are useless against Rey Dau, a lightning dragon. In such cases, opt for a Pitfall Trap instead. Also, note that you can only carry one trap at a time, so use them strategically when the monster is vulnerable.
