Gracium, a rare and precious material in Monster Hunter Wilds, is an essential component in the creation and improvement of high-level equipment. This guide will give a complete overview of Gracium, such as its location in the Iceshard Cliffs, efficient farming methods, and a step-by-step explanation of its different applications in weapon forging, armor creation, and charms. Whether you’re an experienced hunter looking to procure the finest equipment or a novice looking to learn the ins and outs of material farming, this information will assist you in properly obtaining and using Gracium within your Monster Hunter Wilds game.
Gracium Location in MH Wilds
Gracium in Monster Hunter Wilds can be found in the Iceshard Cliffs, but it’s not available during Low-Rank hunts. To start gathering Gracium, you’ll need to reach High-Rank.
You’ll get a good amount of Gracium the first time you defeat Jin Dahaad the Apex Monster of the Iceshard Cliffs in High-Rank. After that, though, you’ll have to rely on Gathering and Mining Outcrops to farm more. Just keep in mind that, like other rare minerals, Gracium has a low drop rate, so you won’t collect much from a single outcrop.
Farming Gracium in MH Wilds
Gracium is a pretty rare drop in Monster Hunter Wilds and isn’t linked to any optional quests. However, you can sometimes get it as a Festive Reward for completing all the Oilwell Basin side quests.
If you’re looking to farm Gracium, certain spots on the Iceshard Cliffs map have multiple Mining Outcrops close to each other. The best place to gather Gracium is near the Pop-up Camp, where you’ll find three Mining Outcrops clustered together making it a convenient farming spot.
