How to Farm Mining Outcrops

Wait for Upsurges

Monster Hunter Wilds - Look Out for Upsurges

It best to farm Ores during Mining Outcrop Upsurges. These random events can occur on each locale which causes more Mining Outcrop nodes to spawn and have higher chances mining rare Ores.

Check the weather Map Overview for each location to check for current and upcoming events such as Mining Outcrop Upsurges.

Use the Filter Icons to Highlight Mining Outcrops

Monster Hunter Wilds - Use Filter Icons to Highlight Mining Outcrop

You can use the map's Filter Icons feature to highlight each Mining Outcrop node in your map and help you all the nodes faster. Press the directional keys while having the map open to access the Filter Icons and select Mining Outcrop to highlight them.

Alternatively, you can also use this to go through all the Mining Outcrop nodes and set them as waypoints one a time to have your Seikret take you there automatically.
