Gathering materials might seem trivial at first, but it becomes crucial as you delve deeper into the endgame of *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Here's the optimal gathering set to maximize your material collection:

Monster Hunter Wilds Best Gathering Set

When you're focused on gathering materials in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, selecting the right armor pieces is essential for the best bonuses. Here’s the recommended 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 indispensable for gathering, as it provides the Botanist skill, which boosts your herb and consumable item collection. For protection from small monsters, I prefer the Intimidator skill, making Conga Mail and Guardian Rathalos Vambraces excellent choices. However, you can opt for Leather pieces if you're seeking different bonuses.

Azuz Pants are crucial, offering Geologist 3, which significantly enhances your gathering efficiency.

For the Charm slot, choose between Marathon and Intimidator, depending on your armor setup. If you haven't included Intimidator in your armor, the Intimidator Charm is a good choice, and vice versa.

Best Gathering Skills

In addition to the right armor, having the correct active skills is vital for effective material gathering in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Here are the key skills to equip:

From my perspective, Botanist and Geologist are non-negotiable skills for your gathering set. Even if you're still missing some armor pieces, prioritize these two skills. The others can be acquired over time.
