Monster Hunter Wilds: How to Get Herbivore Carapace

Not every piece of equipment in Monster Hunter Wilds is made of giant predators. Apart from minerals and bones, some also require parts from the more docile creatures in the world. Herbivore Carapaces are plentiful and easy to get, but players may rarely have any in their inventories.

Getting a Herbivore Carapace in MH WIlds is much easier compared to getting big monster parts like Nerscylla Claws, but given their sources, some players might assume that they’re hard to get. Luckily, there’s a ton of Herbivore Carapaces near the very first base camp.

Monster Hunter Wilds: How to Get Hunter Symbols (1, 2, and 3)

Here’s where you can get Hunter Symbols, one of the key ingredients for endgame gear crafting in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Monster Hunter Wilds: Herbivore Carapace Location

Players can carve Herbivore Carapaces from Ceratonoths, the dinosaur-like creatures that are often found in herds in Windward Plains. There’s usually a Ceratonoth herd right outside the Plains Base Camp, and more can be found further in the grassland. To make sure the herds spawn, Rest in your tent and wait until Daytime in Season of Plenty.

Ceratonoths are harmless. All they’ll do is run away once you start showing aggression, and since they can run fairly quickly, bring a ranged weapon like a Bow if you plan on hunting some. Keep in mind that Herbivore Carapace only drop once players reach High Rank.

There’s a very good chance that players will get Raw Meat instead of Herbivore Carapace. It’s hard to pin the exact drop rate for the latter, but as long as you keep slaying Ceratonoths, you should be able to get all the carapaces you need for your crafting projects.

What Are Herbivore Carapaces Used For?

Herbivore Carapaces are used to craft talismans and armor. Specifically, they’re needed for the following:

Doshaguma Alpha and Beta Sets
Death Stench Set
Evasion Charm II
Survival Charm II

The Doshaguma set is great for players who need an armor upgrade for early High Rank. Free Meal 3 and Recovery Up 2 is an extremely handy armor skill for those who want to preserve High Potions and Max Potions, and offense-wise, the Doshaguma’s Might set bonus is great if players can consistently land Offset Attacks or trigger Power Clashes.

The Death Stench set in MH Wilds is a peculiar one, as it’s one of the few armor sets in the game that require Special Items. In this case, players will also need Sinister Cloth to craft each of its pieces. These can only be obtained by trading certain items with specific NPCs.
