Search for Ancient Wyvern Coins in the Scarlet Forest

Scarlet Forest Ancient Wyvern Coins
Monster Hunter Wilds - Ancient Wyvern Coin Farm Scarlet Forest

The Scarlet Forest is a good location for finding Ancient Wyvern Coins. Follow our Ancient Wyvern Coin Farming Route below to visit all spawn locations in the Scarlet Forest.

Ancient Wyvern Coin Farming Route

Farming Route
1 Environment: Plenty
Rest in your tent and set the environment to Plenty.
2
Fast Travel to Area 6: Flowering Rocks camp. An Ancient Wyvern Coin can be seen on the fishing spot near the exit to the left, while a Curioshell Crab may also spawn near the exit. Players can pin the Brightmoss or Glass Algae that sits between area 2 and 3 to auto travel to this location.
3
Fast Travel to Area 8: Underground Lake. A Curioshell Crab can possibly spawn near the fishing spot outside the camp. Across the fishing spot, you will see an Ancient Wyvern Coin.
4
Exit the camp and use your Seikret to climb the treetop where an Ancient Wyvern Coin will spawn. Players can pin the Smokenut near the center of area 8 when looking at the map to auto travel.
5
Fast Travel to Area 12: Northeast. Once again, go to the area behind the waterfall and dive. You will eventually swim through an underground ruin where an Ancient Wyvern Coin will spawn. Alternatively, players can pin the Exquisite Fossil on the upper part of Area 12 to auto travel to this location.
6
Fast Travel to Windward Plains Area 14: Underground Water Vein. Once you land, head east where a Curioshell Crab can possibly spawn.
7 Repeat step number 2.

Area 8: South is an alternative camp for players who don't have Area 8: Underground Lake.

Doing this farming route will net you 4 guaranteed Ancient Wyvern Coins per run. This run can be completed within 2 minutes and 30 seconds, giving you at least 8 coins within 5 minutes.

Repeat this process until the spawns for Ancient Wyvern Coins disappear. You can do this route for about 4-5 times where all 3 coins will always spawn. Resting in camp and setting the environment to Plenty will reset the spawns and will give you guaranteed spawns of Ancient Wyvern Coins.

Windward Plains Ancient Wyvern Coins
Monster Hunter Wilds - Ancient Wyvern Coin Farm Windward Plains

The Windward Plains has multiple Ancient Wyvern Coin spawn locations, with Area 14 being one of the best spots due to its three nearby spawn points. Follow the steps below to get all the Windward Plains Ancient Wyvern Coins:

  1. Check the two underwater coins in the diving sections near the Area 14: Underground Water Vein camp and a Curioshell Crab spawn point east of the camp.
  2. Fast travel to the Area 6: Valley Hideaway camp and head southeast for a possible Curioshell Crab spawn.
  3. Reach the mountaintop near Area 17 for another Curioshell Crab Spawn.

Fish Gastronome Tuna

Monster Hunter Wilds - Catching a Gastronome Tuna

Gastronome Tuna can only be found in Sector 17 of the Scarlet Forest. Hunters can farm the rare fish for a good amount of Ancient Wyvern Coins. Make sure to farm them during the season of Plenty, otherwise this is a rare fish to find!

Gastronome Tuna Location and How to Catch

Destroying Environment

Certain rock formations and pillars in Windward Plains (particularly Sector 5 and 15) can be destroyed either with the slingshot or by a large monster's movement during a hunt. On occasion, Ancient Wyvern Coins can be found amongst the rubble of the environmental damage.

Find Them in Certain Areas Through the Map

Lastly, players can obtain Ancient Wyvern Coins by finding them in certain areas of the map. You can check out the tagged locations where we have found coins in the overworld.

There is a 2nd spawn in the Scarlet Forest Area 8, if u dive to the other side.

Hit sent too early my bad lol, On the final Area thats listed here in the Plains. You go left from where you catch the crab and then theres another left with another dive section. Inside that dive area you can also grab a coin. Basically just check these spots along with the crabs and it should be x2 as fast. (As in the coins arent always guaranteed to be there, just like the crabs)
