Monster Hunter Wilds Glowing Stone Farming Guide (Patch 1.021)

If you’ve hit Hunter Rank 100+ in Monster Hunter Wilds, you already know the grind doesn’t stop—it gets tougher. With Patch 1.021, Capcom introduced Glowing Stones, a new endgame appraisal item that transforms into Appraised Talismans. These randomized Talismans can roll god-tier skill combos and decoration slots, making them the backbone of every late-game build.

The catch? They only drop from the game’s most brutal foes: 9★ Tempered Monsters. Whether you’re chasing your first Crit Boost Talisman or optimizing for Lance counterplay, this guide will help you farm smarter, not harder.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

✅ Best 9★ Monsters for farming efficiency
✅ Recommended loadouts & armor skills
✅ Talisman skill priorities to chase
✅ Melding tips to recycle your junk rolls
✅ Community farming insights & efficiency tables

🔎 How to Get Glowing Stones

Glowing Stones are exclusive to 9★ Tempered Monster hunts, unlocked at HR 100+. You can obtain them in two main ways:

Completing 9★ Quests – Stones are appraised into Talismans automatically post-hunt.
Melding Old Talismans – Trade unwanted Talismans at the Melding Pot in Suja (10 Melding Points per roll; higher rarity Talismans give more points).

💡 Pro Tip: Always carry a Lucky Voucher—it increases bonus rewards, which means more chances for Glowing Stones.

🐉 Best 9★ Monsters for Glowing Stone Farming

Not all 9★ hunts are equal. Some yield more Stones per run, while others are faster to clear, especially in multiplayer.

Monster	Stones per Run	Avg Clear Time (Solo/MP)	Difficulty	Best For…
Gore Magala	2–3	20–25 min / 15–20 min	Very Hard	High-risk, high-reward farming
Lagiacrus	2	18–22 min / 14–18 min	Hard	Thunder-resistant builds
Seregios	2	16–20 min / 12–16 min	Moderate	Aerial/Evade-focused builds
Rey Dau	1–2	15–18 min / 10–12 min	Moderate	Consistent multiplayer farming
Arkveld	1	10–12 min / 8–10 min	Easy	Fast solo farming, speedruns

Efficiency Insight:

Gore Magala and Lagiacrus offer the most Stones per run but are punishing if unprepared.
Arkveld yields fewer Stones but clears in half the time, making it the best Stones-per-hour farm for solo players.
Rey Dau is the go-to monster for multiplayer grind parties thanks to lower stress and faster kills.

⚔️ Optimizing Your Farm – Loadouts & Strategies

1. Prioritize Survivability

9★ monsters hit like trucks. Stack these armor skills:

Guts (Tenacity): Prevents one-shots.
Divine Blessing: Reduces damage taken.
Speed Eating: Faster heals mid-combat.

Recommended Armor Mix (Patch 1.021 meta):

Lagiacrus Helm β → Counterattack boost
Rey Sandmail γ → Defense & Agitator
Duna Wildgreaves γ → Burst skill

2. Weapon Matchups

Lance: Perfect for countering Gore Magala & Seregios’ fast attacks.
Insect Glaive: Aerial mobility makes farming safer.
Dual Blades: High DPS for stagger-locking tempered monsters.

3. Farming Boosters

Use Lucky Vouchers before every 9★ hunt.
Break tempered scars & wounds for bonus reward chances.
Save high-yield Investigations for coordinated team runs.

🎯 Talisman Skill Priority – What to Chase

Not all Talismans are created equal. Here’s what hunters are prioritizing post-1.021:

S-Tier Skills (Build Defining):

Critical Boost
Weakness Exploit
Focus
Stamina Surge

A-Tier Skills (Strong Pairings):

Agitator
Evade Window
Guard
Burst

Example Combos:

Lance mains → Guard + Focus
Dual Blades → Stamina Surge + Crit Boost
Insect Glaive → Evade Window + Weakness Exploit

🔥 These skill rolls are why Glowing Stones are so coveted—stacking two S-tiers can completely redefine your build.

🔁 Melding & Recycling Talismans

Unwanted Talismans can be melded into Glowing Stones at 10 points per roll.
7–8★ rarity Talismans give more Melding Points, so don’t waste them.
Always recycle after a farming session—dead rolls = fresh chances.
