Trading items with NPCs in Monster Hunter Wilds is a fantastic way to obtain rare materials without the grind of hunting and gathering. This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about the Monster Hunter Wilds item trading system, including how to unlock it, where to find all traders, and complete lists of every possible trade in the game.
How to Unlock Item Trading in Monster Hunter Wilds
Item trading becomes available as you progress through the story and help different villages across the game world. Here's how to start trading. Your first trading opportunity comes after completing the Main Mission, "The Eye of the Storm" when you reach Kunafa, the Windsong Village. Here, you'll meet Kilama, your first item trader. As you continue your journey, you'll unlock more traders by:
Completing main story missions that resolve threats to various villages.
Reaching High Rank.
Completing specific side quests for villages.
How to Find Item Traders on the Map
Traders are easy to spot on your map. Just look for the icon showing an arm holding a pouch with back-and-forth arrows. This icon will guide you directly to traders in any settlement. Once you reach a High Rank, you no longer need to visit each trader personally. Nata will act as a Village Intermediary, allowing you to conduct trades from anywhere in the game.
