How to use your Wishlist in Monster Hunter Wilds

Have you ever had a massive list of items you wanted to craft or upgrade in a game, only to forget half of them later? Normally, it’d be very easy to do this in Monster Hunter Wilds, but a special feature can help you remember everything: the forge’s wishlist.

The wishlist behaves like a to-do list for any weapons and armor you wish to upgrade or create in the future. That way, if you’re just a few resources away from your next upgrade and don’t want to forget anything, you’ll have your planned upgrades in one convenient spot.

How to wishlist weapons and armor in MHW

Wishlisting your weapons and armor in Monster Hunter Wilds requires visiting Gemma’s Smithy in your base camp, selecting any unowned equipment items, and opening your sub-menu. Here, you’ll find an “Add to Wishlist” option to plan your next upgrade. If you need to remove an item from the list, head into the same menu and select “Remove from Wishlist.”

Although some early-game equipment pieces will have a grayed-out button in their sub-menu list, most that require forging materials will be available on the wishlist. Even if you already have every upgrade material for your chosen weapon or arm𝓀or piece, you can still add it to your wishlist to prioritize another item but keep options on the back burner for the future.

Where to find your wishlist in MHW

Once you add a few weapons and armor pieces to your wishlist, head back to the main Smithy menu and select “Forge/Upgrade from Wishlist” to access your wishlist. Here, you’ll see every item you’ve added, their required resources, and a breakdown of the equipment’s stats.

You can swap between each option by hovering over their names, letting you compare stats and material costs to determine what to prioritize first. You’ll also find a colored checkmark next to the weapon or armor piece’s name when you have all its required materials, making it slightly easier to organize your upgrades and determine how much more you have to farm. Going for MHW’s best weapons and armor first is a good call, but it’s mostly up to your playstyle and progression in the game.
