Monster Hunter Wilds (Patch 1.021) Melding Pot Guide – Best Talismans, Rarity Tiers & Farming Tips

Patch 1.021 brought Appraised Talismans to Monster Hunter Wilds, letting hunters farm Glowing Stones from 9★ Tempered Monsters and convert them into powerful randomized Talismans. But with limited resources and high melding costs, getting god-tier Talismans can feel like rolling the dice.

This guide breaks down everything you need to maximize efficiency and minimize frustration:
✔ How the Melding Pot works
✔ Rarity tiers & skill potential
✔ Best farming & recycling strategies
✔ Community-tested efficiency tips


Monster Hunter Wilds (Patch 1.021) Melding Pot Guide
How the Melding Pot Works

Located in Suja, Peaks of Accord, the Melding Pot allows players to:

  • Convert unused Talismans into Glowing Stones for re-rolling.

  • Meld Talismans using Melding Points (earned from dismantling unwanted charms).

Key Mechanics:

  • 10 Melding Points per Glowing Stone – base cost for new Talisman rolls.

  • Higher rarity Talismans = more points when recycled (Rarity 8 = 10 points).

  • No rerolls – Appraised Talismans’ skills are locked.


Talisman Rarity Tiers & Melding Costs

Rarity    Melding Cost    Skill Potential    Slot Distribution    Best Use
51 ptLv1–2③-0-0Flexible armor builds
63 ptsLv2②-①-0Balanced builds
76 ptsLv3①-①-0 or ②-0-0Weapon-specific skills
810 ptsLv3 weapon skills①W-①A-①AEndgame meta Talismans

Pro Tip:

  • Rarity 5–6 = great for armor flexibility (Agitator Lv2, Recovery Speed).

  • Rarity 7–8 = focus on weapon-specific endgame builds (Guard Lv3 for Lance, Evade Extender for IG).


Efficient Talisman Farming & Melding Strategies

1. Prioritize High-Yield Monsters

Monster        Avg Clear TimeGlowing Stones/RunStones/HourDifficulty
Gore Magala20–25 min25–6High
Lagiacrus18 min26–7Moderate
Arkveld12–15 min1–25–7Easy

Tip: Multiplayer hunts increase stones/hour significantly.

2. Recycle Low-Rarity Talismans

  • Meld Rarity 5–6 Talismans into points for additional rolls.

  • Keep Rarity 7–8 only if skills are usable (Critical Boost + Weakness Exploit, Constitution + Stamina Surge).

3. Use Lucky Vouchers

  • Boosts Glowing Stone drops from quests.

4. Bulk Melding Strategy

  • Save 50+ Melding Points before rolling to reduce downtime and maximize high-tier chances.

FAQ: Talisman Melding Quick Answers

Q1: Can I reroll Talismans after appraising?
A: No, skills are locked once appraised. Use recycling to try again.

Q2: Which Talismans are best for Lance/IG/DB?
A: S-Tier listed above; focus on weapon-specific buffs.

Q3: Do Lucky Vouchers increase Glowing Stone drops?
A: Yes, they slightly improve drop rates from quest rewards.


Future Updates & Speculation

  • Players hope for a “pity system” to reduce RNG frustration (similar to MH Rise: Sunbreak).

  • Title Update 3 could introduce new melding options, including skill rerolling.


Conclusion: Maximize Your Melding Efficiency

Patch 1.021 makes the Melding Pot high-risk, high-reward, but smart strategies give you a clear edge:
✅ Target Gore Magala/Lagiacrus for 2x Glowing Stones
✅ Recycle low-tier Talismans for extra rolls
✅ Prioritize R7–8 Talismans for weapon builds
