8 Great Hornfly

Another Exclusive Armor To Make

  • Wudwud Hideout Traders

Although it's possible to obtain plenty of regular resources from trading in Monster Hunter Wilds, one of the most important things players should consider picking up when they see it from the traders are resources such as the Great Hornfly.

This material is one of many unique items that is used as a resource to make armor, and it cannot be gotten from defeating a monster. Players who have enjoyed previous Monster Hunter titles may be familiar with the Butterfly or King Beetle armor, which can be created from Great Hornfly. Trading this material using things such as Eternal Scarlet Amber is one of the easiest due to this resource being a special item that can be found at certain times of the day in the Scarlet Forest.

7 Sinister Cloth

Create A Whole Suit Of Armor From The Material

  • Wudwud Hideout
  • Kunafa Windsong Village

The Butterfly armor isn't the only armor available through trading, as trading for Sinister Cloth will provide players with another full set of armor known as the Death Stench set. Players can trade with the likes of Gawdygog at the Wudwud Hideout for the best chance of getting their hands on some Sinister Cloth, though Kilama of the Kunafa Windsong Village can also have some available.

One of the best trades a player can do to get Sinister Cloth is trade for a few pieces using Great Windward Aloe, which has a chance of being harvested as a special resource from Windward Aloes in the Windward Plains.

6 Sild Cotton

A Material To Make A Useful Hood And More

  • Wudwud Hideout
  • Sild The Keepers' Vigil

Besides the full sets of gear one can make, there are some pieces of armor made from materials a player can trade for that only provide them with recipes for one or two bits of gear. Sild Cotton is a must for any player who is hoping to make more trades in the future, as this material can be used to create the Sild Hood Alpha, which has a high botanist level. This, therefore, allows players to grab more herbs, which gives them a better chance of getting a resource that is a higher rarity.

Trading with Genesis Opal is one of many great ways to get Sild Cotton, with it commonly being found in the Runs of Wyveria, though players will likely need to forage for it multiple times. Still, players should be sure to trade for Sild Cotton whenever they get the chance, no matter the material.

5 Azuz Tanned Leather

Players Should Trade Enough To Make Pants

  • Azuz, the Everforge
  • Wudwud Hideout

Like Sild Cotton that makes an incredibly useful hood for players, Azuz Tanned Leather is another material a player should trade for in the hopes of making themselves some Azuz Pants. By wearing these when the player goes foraging for materials, they will have three levels in Geologist. Like the Botanist skill, by having a higher level in this, players can get extra material from breaking rocks, which improves their chances of finding rarer materials.

Trading this material with Fine Antimite in Monster Hunter Wilds is one of many ways for players to get their hands on Azuz Tanned Leather. Players will likely get their hands on this material from the Oilwell Basin, though it can also be collected from Sabar's pickup box.

4 Ancient Wyvern Coins

Coins Are Used For A Lot Of Trades

  • Cliffs Base Camp

Although players can generally earn Ancient Wyvern Coins by exploring the various biomes of Monster Hunter Wilds, another way players can earn a few coins quickly is by trading with the various NPCs for resources that are only used in trading. Gobletweed is quite common, as players can easily collect a few of these underwater plants when exploring the rivers of the Scarlet Forest.

These Ancient Wyvern Coins are incredibly valuable to players, as many of the items available across the different trailers can also frequently be purchased using these rare coins. By making sure to always trade for them when they are available, a hunter will quickly create a supply they can easily dip into.

3 Gold Melding Ticket

2 Sild Garlic

Trading Is The Best Way To Get More Ingredients

  • Sild The Keepers' Vigil

One of the best things players should be sure to do before going hunting after dangerous monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds is cooking. While many ingredients can be obtained through exploring, there are a few valuable food items that can only be obtained through trading.

Out of all the ingredients available in Wilds, one of the most frequently used is the Sild Garlic. When adding this to a dish, a player is able to faint once without any repercussions. Players can trade for Sild Garlic with Ren at the Keepers' Vigil for the simple trade of Wyveria Lantern x3.

1 Hard Armor Sphere

Level Up Armor Further With These Spheres

Various trades including Hard Armor Sphere in Monster Hunter Wilds
  • Suja Peaks of Accord

As players approach the endgame of Monster Hunter Wilds, they are far more likely to take part in the trading element of the title. As they start to hone in their build, they will likely find armor that they have settled upon as being the one they wish to wear due to the skills that are on it. However, on some occasions this armor may be quite low. Thankfully, by using armor spheres, a player can improve its overall defense.

Players may trade to get their hands on more spheres. Depending on how high a level they wish to be, this will require more spheres. The Hard Armor Sphere is one of the best due to it greatly increasing the level of the player's gear. This is another trade that can simply be completed using Ancient Wyvern Coins.
