Monster Hunter Wilds 9★ Tempered Monsters Tier List (Patch 1.021) – Best Glowing Stone Farming Targets

on

If you’ve been grinding for Appraised Talismans in Monster Hunter Wilds, you already know the bottleneck: Glowing Stones. Since Patch 1.021, the only reliable way to get them is through 9★ Tempered Monsters—some of the toughest hunts in the game. But not all monsters are worth your time.

Some are fast, efficient, and great for solo runs. Others will chew up your hunts with long enrages, one-shots, or low drop efficiency. This guide ranks every 9★ Tempered Monster by:

✔ Glowing Stone drop rates
✔ Clear speed (solo & multiplayer)
✔ Difficulty & survivability
✔ Best team compositions

Monster Hunter Wilds 9★ Tempered Monsters Tier List (Patch 1.021)
Quick Monster Explanations

  • Arkveld (S-Tier) – The undisputed farming king. Low HP, predictable attack patterns, and consistently fast clears make this the go-to for stones per hour efficiency.

  • Rey Dau (A-Tier) – Slower solo but shines in multiplayer. Its weaker AoEs and less aggressive enrages mean smooth clears with coordinated teams.

  • Seregios (B-Tier) – A tricky mid-tier pick. Great for players who love aerial or evade-heavy builds, but bleed can punish unprepared hunters.

  • Lagiacrus (C-Tier) – Decent drops but requires heavy Thunder resistance. Mistimed dodges often lead to carting.

  • Gore Magala (D-Tier) – Drops the most Stones, but the hardest fight. Frequent enrages, one-shot combos, and tight windows make it a hardcore-only grind.

Efficiency Rankings (Stones per Hour)

Based on community testing (Game8, DTG Reviews, and Discord farming groups), here’s how each monster stacks up for Glowing Stones/hr:

  • Arkveld → ~5–6 Stones/hr (solo optimized)

  • Rey Dau → ~4–5 Stones/hr (multiplayer)

  • Seregios → ~3–4 Stones/hr (solo)

  • Lagiacrus → ~3 Stones/hr (if Thunder resistance is maxed)

  • Gore Magala → ~2–3 Stones/hr (if you survive consistently)
