Once you complete the main story of Monster Hunter Wilds, you will likely spend a lot of time finding the optimal build for your hunter. You will have to farm materials by doing specific hunts to get special items for your desired build. After Tier 6, you will need a new material called the Hunter Symbol 1 to craft weapons and armors. 

Hunter Symbol 1 is an item that you will not easily find. You will need to defeat a very specific type of monster at a certain difficulty level to get it. In this article, we will explain how you can get Hunter Symbol 1 in Monster Hunter Wilds.

You can only get Hunter Symbol 1 from Tempered Monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds. Take a look at the sources:

SourceTypeDifficulty
Tempered MonstersInvestigations5-star only
Double Tempered MonstersOptional Quests5-star only

Unfortunately, Optional Quests with a single Tempered Monster at 5-star difficulty do not reward you with a Hunter Symbol 1. However, these hunts are still great if you want to farm parts for Artian Weapons or other general parts.

Tempered Monsters are bigger and tougher variants. They are outlined by a purple border on the Monster Hunter Wilds map. If you track them via scoutfiles, their color will become blue, unlike the green variant that you are generally used to seeing. Tempered Monsters hit harder and are tougher, so prepare for tough fights if you want to farm this material.

Best Way To Farm Hunter Symbol 1 in Monster Hunter Wilds

The best way to farm Hunter Symbol 1 in Monster Hunter Wilds is to complete Optional Quests with double monsters. Although double monsters may sound scary, they actually act as two separate hunts clubbed together as one. In case both of them appear together, you can always use Dung Pods to separate one and target the other.

Investigations are only doable for a limited number of times, and you need to spend Guild Points to unlock them. As such, they are not ideal for farming this item in Monster Hunter Wilds.
