"Guide to Obtaining Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds"

Slaying monsters is thrilling, but mastering the art of trapping them is essential if you're aiming to collect every monster part needed for powerful armor sets in Monster Hunter Wilds. Trapping requires specific gear—namely Trap Tools—and knowing where to get them can make all the difference. Here’s everything you need to know about obtaining and using Trap Tools in the game.

Where to Get Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds

While Monster Hunter Wilds doesn’t walk you through the trapping mechanics step by step, veteran players will find the system familiar. The game doesn’t teach you explicitly how to trap monsters or acquire Trap Tools, but don’t worry—you’ve got options.

The primary—and only—way to obtain Trap Tools is by purchasing them from the Provisions Stockpiler NPC located at your Base Camp. Simply speak to him and browse through his inventory. Trap Tools are priced at 200 Zenny each. Given their importance in monster capture, it’s wise to stock up, especially if you're farming particular creatures or attempting to complete your in-game bestiary.

Unlike other materials that can be gathered out in the field, Trap Tools cannot be found during quests or scavenged from the environment. Base Camp is your sole source, so make it a habit to restock before heading out on major hunts.

How to Use Trap Tools

Once you’ve stocked up, it’s time to put those Trap Tools to work. To set a trap, you’ll need to combine the Trap Tool with other components to create either a Pitfall Trap or a Shock Trap:

• Combine a Trap Tool with a Net (crafted from Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap.
• Pair a Trap Tool with a Thunderbug Capacitor to craft a Shock Trap.

Both traps are effective, but not all monsters fall for both types. Some creatures are naturally immune to certain traps due to their elemental or physical traits. For example, Shock Traps are ineffective against Rey Dau, the lightning dragon, who’s completely unfazed by electric shocks. In such cases, opt for a Pitfall Trap to immobilize your target.

Keep in mind that you can only carry one type of trap at a time, so choose wisely based on your target and its weaknesses. It’s best to deploy traps when the monster is weakened—this increases your chances of a successful capture and maximizes your reward potential.

With the right preparation and timing, trapping becomes a seamless part of your hunting strategy. Now that you know how to get and use Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds, you're one step closer to mastering every aspect of the hunt.
