Slaying monsters is thrilling, but to truly master *Monster Hunter Wilds* and gather all the monster parts for your armor crafting, you'll also need to learn the art of trapping. This requires specific materials, and Trap Tools are essential for this task. Here's your comprehensive guide on how to acquire and use Trap Tools in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
Where to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds
While *Monster Hunter Wilds* might not hold your hand through the process of trapping monsters or obtaining Trap Tools, if you're familiar with the series, the process should ring a bell.
Your primary source for Trap Tools is the Provisions Stockpiler NPC at your Base Camp. Engage with him, and browse through his inventory until you spot the Trap Tools. Each one will set you back 200 Zenny. It's wise to stock up, especially if your goal is to farm specific monsters or aim to capture every creature the game has to offer.
Bear in mind, Trap Tools are exclusive to purchase at Base Camp; you won't stumble upon them while exploring the wild like you would with other resources.
How to Use Trap Tools
With your Trap Tools in hand, it's time to harness their potential. You can combine them with a Net, crafted from Spiderweb or Ivy, to create a Pitfall Trap. Alternatively, pair them with a Thunderbug Capacitor to fashion a Shock Trap.
Both types of traps are effective, but remember, some monsters are resistant to specific traps. For example, a Shock Trap won't faze Rey Dau, the lightning dragon. In such cases, opt for the Pitfall Trap instead.
Also, keep in mind you can only carry one Trap item at a time. Use it wisely, ideally when the monster is weakened and more susceptible to capture.
