How to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds

While slaying monsters delivers plenty of excitement, mastering the art of trapping is essential for collecting all the materials needed for crafting armor. You'll need specific supplies to do this properly – here's your complete guide to obtaining Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Where to Find Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds

If you're new to the series, Monster Hunter Wilds doesn't explicitly explain how to acquire Trap Tools, though veteran hunters will recognize the system immediately.

Your primary source for Trap Tools is the Provisions Stockpiler at Base Camp. Browse their inventory to locate these essential items, priced at 200 Zenny each. I'd suggest stocking up generously – they're invaluable whether you're farming materials or attempting to capture rare specimens.

Unlike other resources you might forage in the wild, Trap Tools are exclusively available through this vendor.

Mastering Trap Usage

Once you've secured your Trap Tools, here's how to turn them into effective hunting implements. Combine one with a Net (crafted from Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap, or mix it with a Thunderbug Capacitor for a Shock Trap.

While both traps serve the same fundamental purpose, some monsters show resistance to specific types. Rey Dau, the thunder wyvern, for instance, simply laughs off Shock Traps – you'll need the Pitfall variety for that particular hunt.

Remember: You can only carry a single trap at any given time, so timing is everything. Wait until your target shows clear signs of exhaustion before deploying your carefully crafted trap.
