In the dynamic world of Monster Hunter Wilds, acquiring a wide range of materials is essential for success. These resources are vital for enhancing gameplay across multiple facets, including meal preparation, gear crafting, and trading with in-game vendors.
One particularly beneficial item that hunters will find useful as they progress is the Piragill Fin. If you’re unsure about how to collect this valuable resource, this guide will outline the most effective strategies for farming them.
Strategies for Acquiring Piragill Fins in Monster Hunter Wilds
Piragill Fins can be harvested once players reach the High Rank tier in the game. As their name implies, these fins are sourced from the Piragill monsters. They are relatively simple to acquire if you are aware of the effective avenues for obtaining them.
One of the primary methods for obtaining Piragill Fins involves completing the optional quest titled A Sharp Squad. This quest becomes available once you achieve HR 9 and entails defeating a total of eight Piragill monsters located in Scarlet Forest. Successfully completing this quest yields various rewards, including at least one Piragill Fin+
The most efficient technique for farming Piragill Fins is to venture into the Scarlet Forest and specifically target groups of Piragills, primarily located in Areas 6 and 13 on the map. By defeating and carving them, you can secure multiple Piragill Fins+. Additionally, upon unlocking the ‘Rest’ feature at your tent, you can capitalize on this method further by resting to respawn any monsters or materials you have previously farmed.
Lastly, Piragill Fins can also be acquired through trading. By completing optional quests for various NPCs, you can establish new trade routes which Nata, your Village Intermediary, manages at any Base Camp or the Grand Hub.
One key vendor to consider for Piragill Fins is Musharpeye, located at the Wudwud Hideout in Scarlet Forest. This vendor periodically offers Piragill Fins in exchange for items like Sparkly Treasures, which are also collectible within the forest. Additionally, your Item Retrieval vendors may occasionally stock Piragill Fins, contingent on luck.
Utilizing Piragill Fins in Monster Hunter Wilds
Piragill Fins function as an Equipment Material, which means they primarily serve in the crafting of specific High Rank armor sets, including the Mizutsune series, and various talisman charms. Once you collect a Piragill Fin+ and add it to your inventory, a range of new armor options become available at the Smithy, which include:
- Mizutsune Helm (alpha/beta): 2x Piragill Fin+
- Piragill Greaves (alpha/beta): 3x Piragill Fin+
- Duna Wildgreaves (alpha/beta): 2x Piragill Fin+
- Breaker Charm I: 4x Piragill Fin+
- Guard Charm II: 5x Piragill Fin+
- Impact Charm III: 4x Piragill Fin+
- Water Charm III: 3x Piragill Fin+
If crafting isn’t your priority, consider selling any surplus Piragill Fins to local Item Provisioners for 425 zenny each, providing a worthwhile monetary return.
