In Monster Hunter Wilds you can gather resources for free and automatically thanks to Material Retrieval. You can read about how the feature works, what you need to consider, and what limitations exist on MeinMMO.
What is this feature? Material Retrieval is a function that you will unlock later in the game. With it, you can automatically gather resources that you can later collect.
To unlock it, you need to complete some quests and progress far enough in the story. MeinMMO explains what you need to consider if you want to use this feature.
Monster Hunter Wilds: Unlock Material Retrieval and Requirements
Requirements: To unlock Material Retrieval, you must have completed the last main mission of chapter 4-2, “Lurking Shadows.” How many chapters Monster Hunter Wild consists of can be found elsewhere.
Unlocking Material Retrieval: If you have completed the main story to that point, you can talk to Apar in Suja to unlock the feature. Here you will receive the first quests, at the end of which Apar will go searching for materials for you. Later, you can also unlock additional gatherers.
Important Notes:
- Every person who can gather materials for you has their own quest that you must complete before they can start gathering for you. You will find all gatherers in the table below.
- Each village has its own agricultural products that they can gather for you. Therefore, you cannot get everything in every village.
- Materials stack up to 16 slots, after that the gatherers will stop. So make sure to collect the materials quickly enough.
- How much the gatherers find depends on the rarity of the materials: the rarer the material, the less will be collected. Material is categorized into three rarity levels (1 to 3 stars).
- What and how much material the gatherers find also depends on the season. How you can change the season can be read on MeinMMO.
