Upgrading to higher tiers of weapons and armor in Monster Hunter Wilds requires upgrade materials. Hunting new monsters unlocks new recipes, which incentivizes repeat monster hunts for farming materials, which leads to new monster hunts, and the cycle continues. This has been the core gameplay loop of all Monster Hunter games.
Frost Sacs are a low-tier crafting material in MH Wilds that can only be found on a specific monster first seen in Chapter 2 of the campaign. Here is the breakdown.
Monster Hunter Wilds: How to Increase HR (Hunter Rank)
To increase Hunter Rank, Monster Hunter Players need to partake in a variety of in-game activities, like Hunts, Quests, and collecting materials.
How to Get Frost Sacs in Monster Hunter Wilds
Frost Sacs have a 23% chance of dropping from Hirabami (Low Rank), a threat level 2 monster found in the Iceshard Cliffs. Hirabami is first encountered during the Chapter 2 - 3 Mission “Hopes of Home.” Players unlock the Iceshard Cliffs area during the course of this mission, which means it is impossible to hunt the Hirabami beforehand.
Frost Sacs cannot be found in the overworld as collectible items like Herbs or Mining Outcrops. They can only be obtained as a reward for completing a Hirabami hunt quest.
How to Farm Frost Sacs in Monster Hunter Wilds
After the Hirabami is defeated once and the quest is cleared, Field Surveys and Optional Quests for tracking the monster will become available. The fastest way to trigger a Hirabami hunt quest is to talk to Alma (Quest Counter) in base camp. Select Post/Join Quests and open the Optional Quests tab. Here, look for Fleet Flight (2-Star) Hirabami Quest and select Accept & Depart (Quick Start) to start the hunt.
Frost Sacs are a part of the general loot table, meaning you cannot find them by cutting or severing any part of the Hirabami. Additionally, only one Frost Sac can drop from a single Hirabami, never more. This means the fastest way to farm Frost Sacs is to repeatedly hunt Hirabami over and over again. There are no shortcuts.
In order to increase the drop rate for items like Frost Sacs, players can opt to use the Lucky Vouchers (Daily Login Rewards) in order to increase the drop chance probability. However, since Lucky Vouchers are limited, it might be a better idea to save them up for rare items that have an even lower drop chance in more difficult hunts.
