Slaying monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is thrilling, but to truly master the game, you'll need to learn the art of trapping them to collect all the necessary parts for armor forging. This requires Trap Tools, and here's how you can acquire and use them effectively.

Where to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds

While *Monster Hunter Wilds* might not hold your hand through the process of trapping monsters or acquiring Trap Tools, if you're familiar with the series, you'll find the mechanics quite intuitive.

To obtain Trap Tools, head to the Provisions Stockpiler NPC at your Base Camp. Engage with him, browse through his inventory, and you'll find Trap Tools available for purchase at 200 Zenny each. It's wise to stock up on these, particularly if you're planning to farm specific monsters or aim to capture every creature the game offers.

Remember, Trap Tools are exclusively available for purchase at the Base Camp; they won't be found scattered around the wild like other resources.

How to Use Trap Tools

Once you've secured your Trap Tools, it's time to deploy them strategically. Combine them with a Net (crafted from Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap, or pair them with a Thunderbug Capacitor to fashion a Shock Trap.

Both types of traps are effective, but be mindful that some monsters have resistances. For example, a Shock Trap won't affect Rey Dau, the lightning dragon, so in such cases, opt for the Pitfall Trap.

Also, note that you can only carry one Trap item at a time, so timing is crucial. Deploy your trap when the monster is weakened for the best chance of success.
