Slaying monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds is exhilarating, but to truly maximize your loot—especially for crafting powerful armor—mastering the art of trapping is essential. This requires specialized tools, and here's how to acquire them.

While Monster Hunter Wilds doesn't explicitly guide you on trapping, veterans of the series will find this familiar.
Your primary source for Trap Tools is the Provisions Stockpiler NPC at your Base Camp. Simply chat with him, browse his inventory, and purchase Trap Tools for 200 Zenny each. Stocking up is highly recommended, especially if you're focused on farming specific monsters or aiming for a complete collection.
Unlike other resources found in the wild, Trap Tools are exclusively available for purchase at the Base Camp.
How to Use Trap Tools
With your Trap Tools acquired, it's time to deploy them. Combine them with a Net (using Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap, or pair them with a Thunderbug Capacitor for a Shock Trap.
Both trap types are effective, but remember that certain monsters are immune to specific traps. For example, a Shock Trap is useless against Rey Dau, a lightning dragon. In such cases, opt for the Pitfall Trap instead.
A crucial limitation: you can only carry one trap at a time. Strategic timing is key—use your traps when the monster is vulnerable.
That's how you obtain and utilize Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds. For more game guides and tips, be sure to check out The Escapist.
