Hunting for bones in Monster Hunter Wilds is something you will often do. These materials are necessary for crafting strong weapons and armor for both you and your Palico. Whether you are collecting from Bonepiles or carving them from monsters, knowing where to look will save time.

How To Collect Bones in Monster Hunter Wilds

Bones come from two main sources. You can pick them up from Bonepiles scattered across the map, or you can carve them from defeated monsters. Bonepiles are easy to spot, and you can check your mini-map for a bone icon to locate them quickly. When harvesting from a Bonepile, you will always get three bones before it is depleted.

Carving bones from monsters depends on the creature itself. Some monsters drop bones regularly, while others may require breaking specific parts to obtain them. If you are targeting a particular bone, check the monster’s loot table to see if it drops what you need.

High Rank vs. Low Rank Bones

As you progress, you will unlock High Rank. This brings a larger selection of bones, but it also means they become more difficult to collect. Rarity 4 and 5 bones start appearing, making them more valuable but harder to find. Some bones are only available at a specific rank, so check if the one you need comes from Low Rank or High Rank.

How To Track Bonepiles

Using your map is the fastest way to locate Bonepiles. You can set them as waypoints and ride your Seikret for automatic travel. This saves energy and lets you focus on gathering. Since Bonepiles look the same in every biome, they are easy to recognize once you know what to search for.

Bone Collection Tips

  • Always check the biome if you are searching for a specific bone.
  • Use the mini-map to track Bonepiles easily.
  • Set waypoints to reach Bonepiles faster.
  • Hunt the right monsters for the bones you need.
  • Expect different bones depending on whether you are in Low Rank or High Rank.

Knowing where and how to find bones will make crafting much easier. Keep an eye on your map, choose the right location, and gather what you need efficiently.
