The elusive Great Hornfly is a coveted crafting material in Monster Hunter Wilds, essential for forging pieces of the stylish and powerful Butterfly and King Beetle armor sets. Unlike typical monster drops, acquiring this rare resource requires a specific method: trading with the Wudwud trader, Mursharpeye. This guide will walk you through the precise steps to obtain Great Hornflies, detailing the necessary trade items and their locations, as well as outlining how to effectively utilize them in crafting your desired armor.
How to Get Great Hornfly
The Great Hornfly isn’t something you can find on the map or get as a monster drop, the only way to get it is by trading with Mursharpeye, a Wudwud trader. Mursharpeye offers a variety of items, from cooking ingredients to rare crafting materials, including the elusive Great Hornfly. You can find Musharpeye at Wudwud Hideout, located in the Scarlet Forest region.
To trade for a Great Hornfly, you’ll need one of these four items:
- Bulky Treasure — found in Bountiful Treasure spots in the Scarlet Forest.
- Sparkly Treasure — also from Bountiful Treasure in the Scarlet Forest.
- Eternal Scarlet Amber — gathered from Amber Deposits in the Scarlet Forest.
- Fine Scarlet Amber — another drop from Amber Deposits in the same area.
You can use the materials tab on your map to locate all the Amber Deposits and Bountiful Treasure spots, then plan the fastest route to gather everything efficiently.
How to Use Great Hornfly
The Great Hornfly is a key material used to forge pieces of the Butterfly and King Beetle armor sets. You’ll need one Great Hornfly for each of the following armor pieces:
- Butterfly Brachia α (×1)
- King Beetle Brachia α (×1)
- Butterfly Thorax α (×1)
- King Beetle Thorax α (×1)
- Butterfly Vertex α (×1)
- King Beetle Vertex α (×1)
- Butterfly Crura α (×1)
- King Beetle Crura α (×1)
- Butterfly Elytra α (×1)
- King Beetle Elytra α (×1)
Each armor piece only requires one Great Hornfly, so gather what you need and start crafting. If you’re aiming to craft the King Beetle and Butterfly armor sets, you’ll need Great Hornfly materials. To make farming easier, it’s a good idea to wait until you have High Rank armor with extra item slots, this boosts your gathering speed and helps you stock up on what you need faster.
