Monster Hunter Wilds

Earth Crystal Mining Location and Uses

Add to Watchlist

Earth Crystal is an Equipment Material that can be obtained from mining outcrops in Monster Hunter Wilds (MH Wilds). See the best farming location for Earth Crystal, how to get it, and its uses here!

Earth Crystal Farming Route

Best Farmed in Windward Plains

Windward Plains Earth Crystal Farming Route

  1. Mine the surrounding outcrops near Lookout Hill, then mine the one at the end of the river.
  2. Fast travel to Mineral Cave, mine the nearby outcrops, then get to the cliff at Area 5. Jump down and glide with your Seikret. Then proceed to get the Area 6 and 2 outcrops.
  3. Mine the outcrops in the Underground Water Vein.
  4. Fast travel to the Bone desert and mine all the outcrops on Area 17.

Earth Crystals are mined from Mining Outcrops on both Low Rank and High Rank Environments of Windward Plains and Scarlet Forest. It's best to farm Earth Crystals in the Windward Plains due to how many mining nodes there are in the location.

It's recommended to have three levels of Geologist equipped to maximize efficiency when farming.
