You may have noticed thatMonster Hunter Wildshides its armor and weapon designs before you’ve found the materials to make them, which has some annoying side effects at times. While this feature is great for preventing spoilers regardingevery monster found inWilds, it can often cause you to go the entire game without even knowing a piece of equipment ever existed in the first place. The Sinister Cloth is precisely one of those items, as the Sinister Cloth material hides one of the coolest armor sets in the game by far behind its secret requirements.
Rather than simply going out into the world ofMonster Hunter Wildsand cracking open miningoutcrops for rare ore, rare items like the Sinister Cloth have to be found in more roundabout ways.Thankfully, the methods to acquire Sinister Cloth become easier the further you progress into the game, especially if you’ve been keeping up with your side quests to unlock new traders. Making use of Nata as the newly promoted Village Intermediary, you may start hunting for Sinister Cloth, although the process primarily boils down to blind luck.
Best Places To Get Sinister Cloth
Material Retrieval Is An Easy Way To Passively Farm
The place you will most likely come across a Sinister Cloth doesn’t require all that much input on your end, asyou simply have to keep checking in with your Material Retrievals. Each time a requested material is gathered from each location’s leader, there is a small chance a few bonus rewards will be collected alongside them. These materials can range from simple bonus materials you could normally request, to rare items that can only be found through rare trading requests.
Every New Monster In Monster Hunter Wilds
Every Monster Hunter, as the name implies, includes a new cast of monsters to hunt. Wilds is no different, offering an impressive new roster.
It doesn’t seem like there’s a way to guarantee or increase the odds of which bonus material you get, althoughMurtabak from Kunafa in the Windward Plains is the only gatherer that can offer Sinister Cloth as a bonus reward. If you want to speed the process along, selecting a material with a higher rate seems to draw in more bonus materials as a result, while using the rest function in any tent will instantly bring in the next shipment of resources.
A More Reliable Method For Finding Rare Resources
The second method to farming for Sinister Cloth is more reliable, but it’s still an unfortunately random game of chance. By checking in with trading requests through Nata or the NPC’s themselves,you may purchase Sinister Cloth from either Gawdygog from the Scarlet Forest’s Wudwud hideout or Kilama from Kunafa. While there aren’t any available just yet, there’s also a chance thatlimited event questsin the future will introduce new ways to farm materials like Sinister Cloth, making it important to keep an eye out for future updates.
During Plenty and Morning time, both Area 6 and 8 in the Scarlet Forest have a Coin Crab and an underwater spawn point for Ancient Wyvern Coins, with another just outside of the entrance to the Area 8 camp atop the first tree climbable by the Seikret. After gathering these, simply fast-travel to another map and back to reset the spawn rates.
For Kilama’s trading request, they will request rare items like the Great Windward Aloe that can be a rare drop from Windward Succulents in the Windward Plains, although much more commonly during a Great Windward Aloe Emergence event.The WudWud trading request is a much more reliably found item, but it’s more time-consuming given its price of 10 Ancient Wyvern Coins per Sinister Cloth. While it will take some time to gather enough Sinister Cloth to make a full set for you and your trusty Palico inMonster Hunter Wilds, it’s better to be prepared when the trade eventually emerges.
