Event Quests With Armor Spheres as Main Reward

Event Quest Armor Spheres

Event Quest Required HR Rewards
Careening Out of Control HR2+ Armor Spheres
Armor Spheres+
Tongue-Tied HR21+ Hard Armor Spheres
Advance Armor Spheres
Wreaking Havoc in Wyveria HR31+ Hard Armor Spheres

The event quests listed here are quests with Armor Spheres as their main rewards. The higher the difficulty of the quest, the better value the Armor Sphere rewards are going to be. Just take note of the Hunter Rank requirement to unlock the listed quests above.

Additionally, the three quests listed above are now permanently available. This allows the players to access these quests whenever they need armor spheres without the need to wait for an in game event.

Wreaking Havoc in Wyveria is the Best Quest to Farm

Recommended Items to Bring
Shock Trap Shock Trap Used to immobilize and/or capture
Pitfall Trap Pitfall Trap Used to immobilize and/or capture
Water Ammo Water Ammo Recommended to bring alongside bowguns to maximize damage
Flowfern Flowfern Used to craft more Water Ammo
Flash Pod Flash Pod Used to prevent the monster from escaping

Wreaking Havoc in Wyveria is the best quest to farm armor spheres as it can give you 7-10 Hard Armor Spheres in a single run. We recommend using Water Ammo in this hunt as this is the weakness of Guardian Fulgur Anjanath.

To increase the speed of quest completion, we recommend starting in Area 6 as this camp is near the monster. Capturing the monster is also recommended to end the hunt faster.

Tongue-Tied is the Fastest Quest to Farm

The Tongue-Tied event quest is a good quest to farm Armor Spheres with as the rewards are great, the target monster is easy to deal with, and the HR requirement isn't too far.

Event Quests Schedule and Release Date

Use the Smelting Foundry

Smelting Foundry

The best way to farm Armor Spheres is to recycle monster materials into Armor Spheres in the Smelting Foundry in Azuz at the Oilwell Basin.

As you go through the game and raise your HR in High Rank, you'll gather a lot of monster materials as you complete hunts and quests. You won't need all of these items sitting idle in your inventory, so you can use them as fodder to smelt Armor Spheres.

Smelting Guide

Farm Seregios and Lagiacrus Quests

Material Points
Seregios Certificate S 110
Seregios Carver 110
Seregios Airblade 110
Seregios Slavescale 110
Seregios Impaler 120
Seregios Breacher 120
Seregios Scraper 120
Seregios Dissenter 1200
Lagiacrus Certificate S 110
Lagiacrus Claw+ 110
Lagiacrus Hide+ 110
Lagiacrus Scale+ 110
Lagiacrus Tail 120
Lagiacrus Horn+ 120
Lagiacrus Shockspike 120
Lagiacrus Sapphire 1200

Seregios and Lagiacrus parts net the most amount of points when you try to smelt monster materials into armor spheres. Both monsters have repeatable optional quests, namely 1,000 Shimmering Swords and The Sea-Born Lord respectively.

Hunt 9-Star Monsters in HR100+

9 Star Rey Dau Rewards

Along with the Ver. 1.021 Update came the appearance of 9-star difficulty monsters. These endgame hunts are much more difficult than the usual hunts as the monsters will always spawn as Tempered and their health and damage are increased. 9-star monsters can spawn in all locales once you're HR100 or above.

While the main reward for these hunts are Glowing Stones, they can also reward a decent amount of higher-value Armor Spheres, like Hard Armor Spheres and Heavy Armor Spheres.

All 9 Star Monsters

Complete Limited Bounties

Armor Sphere Limited Bounty

Heavy Armor Sphere obtained from a Limited Bounty quest.

You can get high ranking Armor Spheres such as Heavy Armor Spheres by completing Limited Bounty quests. They cannot be farmed consistently but they provide a huge surge of Hard Armor Spheres, so be sure to complete them when able!

Be warned that Limited Bounty quests will not appear when playing in offline mode.

Bounties and Research Help Explained

Save and Clear High Level Investigation Quests

Investigations and Armor Spheres

High-level Investigations, especially 7 and 8-star difficulty ones, will sometimes give rarer Armor Spheres as rewards. If you're farming for Decorations or Artian Weapon parts, you can naturally farm Armor Spheres as you complete these hunts.

Armor Spheres and Investigations

Armor Sphere Investigation Difficulty
★4-5 Investigations
★6-9 Investigations
★7-9 Investigations

Investigation Quests Guide

Obtain via Regular Quests

Main Missions, Side Missions, and Extra Missions can naturally provide Armor Spheres and is a great way to passively farm for them. You can tackle quests with your desired monsters as well to gain missing materials to craft missing armor or weapon pieces to complete your build.

You can also aid other hunters by doing Lobby Member Quests if you're in a public lobby or SOS quests if you wanna help other hunters in different lobbies!

Quest List

Trade with Gawdygog

Gawdygog Trade Shop

You can also trade materials with Gawdygog, but you'll need to trade using Ancient Wyvern Coins. These coins are rare and difficult to farm for. This makes this method inefficient as a farming method for Armor Spheres.
