To craft powerful weapons like the Bone Smasher and gear such as the Rathian Greaves, you’re going to need dragonbone relics. These sought-after relics are crucial for taking your Monster Hunter Wilds arsenal to the next level.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through exactly where to find these dragonbone relics and the most effective ways to gather them.
### Locating Dragonbone Relics in Monster Hunter Wilds
Dragonbone relics are scattered throughout bonepiles which are conveniently spread across every corner of the game. You’ll spot them in areas like Windward Plains, Scarlet Forest, Oilwell Basin, Iceshard Cliffs, and even the Ruins of Wyveria. Essentially, they’re tucked away in every region you’ll explore.
Bonepiles are marked with a yellow icon on your map, making them easy to find. To pinpoint them, just pop open your map and double-tap right on the D-pad. Then, browse through the filter to locate bonepiles. Use the left and right buttons on the D-pad to sift through your options and set one as your target waypoint with a seikret.
Each bonepile offers you up to three items before it’s completely depleted, but don’t worry—they refresh approximately every 15 minutes.
### Maximizing Bonepile Resources
When it comes to boosting your resource collection from bonepiles, the Geologist skill is your best ally. This skill grants you an extra item each time you gather from a bonepile.
To harness this skill, equip gear like the Geology Charm talisman, Chainmail armor, or Geology Jewel decorations. Just a heads up, only the first level of the Geologist skill is needed for bonepiles, so there’s no need to max it out for this purpose.
It’s important to note that while the Geologist skill boosts the number of items per interaction, it doesn’t increase the number of times you can draw from a bonepile—it’s still capped at three per visit. However, thanks to this skill, each time you hit Circle/B, you’ll retrieve more items than usual.
With these tips, you’re all set to efficiently farm those dragonbone relics and enhance your Monster Hunter Wilds gear to face whatever challenges come your way. Happy hunting!
