Slaying monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is thrilling, but to gather every monster part needed for armor forging, you'll also need to master the art of trapping them. This requires Trap Tools, and here's a detailed guide on how to acquire and use them effectively.
Where to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds
While *Monster Hunter Wilds* doesn't explicitly guide you on trapping or acquiring Trap Tools, fans of the series will find the process familiar. To get started, head to your Base Camp and locate the Provisions Stockpiler NPC. Engage in conversation with him and navigate through his inventory until you spot the Trap Tools, available for purchase at 200 Zenny each. It's wise to stock up, particularly if you're aiming to farm specific monsters or complete your collection by capturing every monster in the game.
Remember, Trap Tools are exclusively available for purchase at Base Camp and cannot be found in the wild like other resources.
How to Use Trap Tools
With your Trap Tools in hand, you're ready to start trapping. You can combine a Trap Tool with a Net (crafted from Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap, or use a Thunderbug Capacitor to make a Shock Trap. Both types of traps are effective, but it's crucial to note that some monsters have specific immunities. For example, Shock Traps are ineffective against Rey Dau, a lightning dragon, so in such cases, opt for a Pitfall Trap instead.
Keep in mind that you can only carry one Trap item at a time, so timing is key—use your trap when the monster is weakened for the best chance of success.
