Gathering materials might not seem crucial at first in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, but it becomes essential as you delve into the endgame. To optimize your material collection, here's the best gathering set and skills you should consider.

Monster Hunter Wilds Best Gathering Set

When you're focusing on gathering materials in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, selecting the right armor pieces is key for the best bonuses. Here's the top gathering armor set:

• Sild Hood
• Conga Mail or Melahoa Jacket
• G. Rathalos Vambraces or Leather Gloves
• High Metal Coil or Suja Sash
• Azuz Pants
• Marathon Charm or Intimidator Charm

The Sild Hood is essential for gathering, as it provides the Botanist skill, crucial for increasing your herb and consumable item collection. I personally prefer the Intimidator skill to avoid interruptions from small monsters, which can be achieved with the Conga Mail and Guardian Rathalos Vambraces. Alternatively, you can opt for Leather pieces for different bonuses.

The Azuz Pants are a must, as they offer Geologist 3, significantly boosting your gathering efficiency.

For the Charm slot, choose between Marathon or Intimidator based on your armor setup. If you haven't selected Intimidator on your armor, opt for the Intimidator Charm, and vice versa.

Best Gathering Skills

In addition to the right armor, equipping the best skills is crucial for effective gathering in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Here are the key skills you should have:

In my opinion, Botanist and Geologist are the non-negotiable skills for your gathering set. While you may not have all the required armor pieces immediately, prioritizing these two skills is crucial. The other skills can be added as you progress.
