Hunting for resources in *Monster Hunter Wilds* can be a rewarding but sometimes challenging experience. Sharp Fangs, a crucial crafting material, are among the trickier items to acquire. This guide will walk you through finding and farming these valuable fangs.
Early in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll find Sharp Fangs in the Windward Plains. These fangs are essential for crafting early-game gear like Chatacabra and Talioth armor sets. To begin your hunt, consider undertaking optional quests like "Beware the Chatacabra" or "The Desert is Demanding." These quests offer a convenient 50-minute time limit in the Windward Plains. Remember to prepare with a hearty meal before embarking on your quest.
Once in the Windward Plains, head to Area 8, the largest area, teeming with smaller monsters. While several creatures here can drop Sharp Fangs, one stands out as the most reliable source.
Gaijos: Your Primary Target
Gaijos are small, crocodile-like leviathans frequently found near or in riverbeds. Their distinctive snout makes them easy to identify. Use your map's interactive feature; the purple diamond markers near water sources pinpoint their locations. These creatures are relatively weak, making them easy targets even with early-game weapons. After defeating a Gaijo, carve its carcass to receive a guaranteed 1 x Sharp Fang.
With several Gaijos spawning in Area 8, repeatedly completing Windward Plains optional quests provides a highly efficient farming method. This ensures a consistent supply of Sharp Fangs.
Talioth: An Alternative Source
Talioth, bipedal creatures found in packs in Area 8 (and sometimes Area 13), are another potential source of Sharp Fangs, though not guaranteed. While they’re slightly tougher than Gaijos, they still pose little threat, even with starting weapons. Hunting Talioths also offers the added benefit of potentially completing the "The Desert is Demanding" optional quest, requiring the slaying of 8 Talioths.
