If you're looking for a faster way to farm materials in Monster Hunter Wilds, have I got a mechanic for you. Material Retrieval is a feature that you can unlock once you arrive in High Rank and complete the main story. After helping out the people of the Forbidden Lands so much, they decide to become your item mules, gathering whatever you need to feed that never-ending appetite for consumables.
You'll have to complete some sidequests to unlock Material Retrieval in each specific region, but once you do, you can set your villagers to farm items while you head off and hunt. Here I'll explain how to unlock Material Retrieval in each settlement and region, how it works, as well as the extra Gathering Boost mechanic that can speed things up.
