"Guide to Obtaining Trap Tools in Monster Hunter Wilds"

Slaying monsters in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is thrilling, but to craft the best armor, you'll need to master the art of trapping them. This guide will help you understand how to acquire Trap Tools, a crucial component for setting up traps.

First, head to the Provisions Stockpiler NPC at your Base Camp. This is your go-to spot for purchasing Trap Tools. They're listed in the stock and will set you back 200 Zenny each. It's wise to stock up, especially if you're planning on farming specific monsters or aiming to catch every monster in the game. Remember, Trap Tools aren't something you'll stumble upon in the wild; you'll need to buy them at Base Camp.

Once you've got your Trap Tools, it's time to learn how to use them effectively. Combine a Trap Tool with a Net (crafted using Spiderweb or Ivy) to create a Pitfall Trap. Alternatively, pair it with a Thunderbug Capacitor to make a Shock Trap. Each type of trap has its purpose, but keep in mind that some monsters are immune to specific traps. For example, the lightning dragon Rey Dau won't be fazed by a Shock Trap, so opt for a Pitfall Trap in that case. Also, you can only carry one Trap item at a time, so use it strategically when the monster is weakened.
