Hunting monster after monster in Monster Hunter Wilds is all fine and well, but to ultimately craft the High Rank armor and weapons you want to use, you’ll need to explore the map for various resources beyond monstrous beasts. These resources include plants, bugs, fish, and ores such as Novacrystal.
Mining Nodes — which can be found around the map — are home to all sorts of vital materials including the Novacrystal. Many of the materials from mining will be needed for crafting High Rank armor and weapons sooner or later. So without further ado, here’s exactly where to find Novacrystal in Monster Hunter Wilds.
Where to find Novacrystal in Monster Hunter Wilds
Novacrystal is acquired from Mining Nodes (the blue mining icons on your map) in Monster Hunter Wilds. While we cannot currently confirm whether the resource is a drop from Mining Nodes across the map, we can confirm some of the areas in which we have found it!
You will find Novacrystal in the following locations in Monster Hunter Wilds:
- Oilwell Basin Area 16
- Scarlet Forest Area 8
- Windward Plains Area 17
When it comes to the final area on the above list — Windward Plains Area 17 — you’ll find one mining node beside a small gap underneath some rocks. If you crawl beneath the rocks and continue climbing upwards, you’ll find multiple mining nodes here. The only downfall is that the Seikret is unable to fit through the gap, so you’ll need to traverse this small area by yourself.
