Scarred Scales are Equipment Materials inMonster Hunter Wildsthat play an important role in the crafting of the Battle armor set. This can be a tricky material to obtain, though, and its sources may not be immediately obvious. Fortunately, it is not extremely difficult to obtain Scarred Scales inMonster Hunter Wilds, though the process may require some patience.
This guide makes reference to several features that become available duringHigh Rank inMonster Hunter Wilds, including the Village Intermediary and Material Retrieval. While it may be possible to obtain Scarred Scales without having access to those features, they definitely make things easier.
How to Get Scarred Scales in Monster Hunter Wilds
Item Trades
Players can obtain Scarred Scales via theItem Trades feature. For the uninitiated, there are NPCs inMonster Hunter Wilds' ecosystemsthat are marked with Item Trade icons, and those characters are willing to trade a rotating assortment of items with the Hunter. Two of those Item Traders,Gawdygog and Sekka, occasionally have Scarred Scales up for trade, and here are more details about those characters:
Gawdygog
Sekka
To note, the word “occasionally” has been repeatedly used because Gawdygog and Sekka do not always have Scarred Scales on offer. Fortunately, players can useMonster Hunter Wilds' rest featureto quickly reset the inventories of those two traders, and they can rest and check until some Scarred Scales become available.
After interacting with Gawdygog and Sekka once, players can check both of their inventories by speaking with Nata, the Village Intermediary. For full clarity, Nata can be found sitting outside a Base Camp’s Tent, making it very easy to rest and check for Scarred Scales.
Material Retrieval
As players work throughMonster Hunter Wilds' fourth chapter, they will have the opportunity to unlock various NPCs who can perform material retrievals. One of those NPCs isApar, and players can enlist them as a material retriever by speaking with them near thePeaks Back Gate in Suja, Peaks of Accordafter completing theLurking Shadowsmission during Chapter 4. Players should then keep an eye on the materials that Apar brings in, by speaking with them or with the Village Intermediary, as they have a chance to collect Scarred Scales.
