Monster Hunter Wilds Hunter Symbols: How to Get Them All

In Monster Hunter Wilds, gear comes in two variations: Low Rank and High Rank. On top of that, the game also offers Hunter Symbols, which are a High-Rank exclusive material used for crafting more powerful weapons. These can only be found by defeating Tempered Monsters after Chapter 4 of the main questline. Here’s how you can reliably farm every Hunter Symbol in the game for your crafting needs.

Hunter Symbol Uses
Hunter Symbols are one of the required materials to craft the last weapon in its crafting tree. Each Hunter Symbol corresponds to the monster you must slay to fully upgrade a weapon.
For example, if you want to craft the fully upgraded Arkveld weapon, you need a Hunter Symbol III, which is dropped by defeating the Arkveld or any of the Apex Predator monsters from each region.
