In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, simply forging new armor sets isn't enough to tackle the increasing challenges. Upgrading your existing armor using Armor Spheres is a crucial strategy to stay ahead. Here’s a detailed guide on how to obtain and utilize Armor Spheres effectively.

Getting Armor Spheres in Monster Hunter Wilds

Armor Spheres are primarily awarded as quest rewards in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. You'll start receiving them after successfully completing quests, both main and optional. The key milestone is defeating Uth Duna for the first time; after this, Armor Spheres become a regular reward in quests following Uth Duna.

To see what rewards you can earn, select a quest from your journal and press the R1 button to view the rewards list. Upon completing a hunt successfully, you'll receive your rewards on the results screen. This system makes Armor Spheres quite farmable; you'll naturally accumulate a good number of them by progressing through the main story and diligently completing optional quests as they become available.

How to Use Armor Spheres

Armor Spheres are essential for upgrading your armor pieces. To do this, head to base camp and speak with Gemma, the smithy. Choose the option to forge or upgrade your armor, then select a piece of gear you've already crafted. Press R1 to switch to the Upgrade tab. Here, you can select the item you wish to upgrade, which will require both Armor Spheres and Zenny. Keep in mind that the cost to upgrade increases with each level, so plan your upgrades carefully.
