In the expansive world of Monster Hunter Wilds, players are often challenged to locate rare items that are not marked on the map or included in loot tables. Among these elusive items is Chaliceweed, a crucial item for trading with Rove, the chatty Wudwud located in the Iceshard Cliffs. This guide will illuminate the best ways to find Chaliceweed.
Locating Chaliceweed in Monster Hunter Wilds
Finding Chaliceweed can be accomplished through three primary methods:
| Method | Description | Farming Viability |
|---|---|---|
| Glass Algae (Rare Spawn) | Collecting Glass Algae has a slim chance of yielding Chaliceweed instead of the more common Golbetweed. | Yes, viable for farming (details below) |
| Gastronome Tuna (Rare Spawn) | Fishing for Gastronome Tuna in the Scarlet Forest will occasionally result in Chaliceweed. Note that this fish is difficult to catch. | No, not viable for farming |
| Wudwud Bonfire Event | During the Wudwud Bonfire celebration at the Wudwud hideout, players can receive Chaliceweed from the celebrating Wudwuds. | No, not reliable |
Effective Farming Techniques for Chaliceweed
The most straightforward way to farm Chaliceweed is by harvesting Glass Algae located in the Scarlet Forest, specifically in Area 12. Follow this step-by-step procedure for optimal results:
- Equip gear that grants the Level 2 Geologist skill. Optionally, you may also use Forest Forager.
- Teleport to the Northeast Pop-up Camp in Area 12. If you haven’t set it up yet, do so now.
- Mount your Seikret and proceed to the hidden area behind the waterfall to the northwest of the campsite.
- Look to your left for water cascading between two stones (see the image below).
-
- Approach the edge and select the option to Dive In.
- Your character will dive underwater along a defined path, allowing you to control the camera while using the Hook Slinger to gather materials.
- Collect all available Glass Algae. You will receive either Gobletweed or Chaliceweed, indicated by the messages on the right side of the screen.
- Once you resurface, open the World Map and fast travel to any location outside the Scarlet Forest.
- Then, fast-travel back to the Northeast camp in Area 12.
- All Glass Algae will have respawned, enabling you to repeat the collection process.
To summarize, head to Area 12 in the Scarlet Forest, gather Glass Algae, travel to a different area, and return to collect again. This cycle can be repeated to accumulate Chaliceweed efficiently.
For those interested, this method was tested at a Hunter Rank of 15.
Utilizing Chaliceweed
Chaliceweed is essential for trading with Rove, who can be found in Area 20 of the Iceshard Cliffs, conveniently adjacent to the Ancient Room Pop-up Camp. It’s important to note that Rove’s inventory refreshes only after a full day in the game.
Rove typically trades for Chaliceweed and Gobletweed, both acquired through harvesting Glass Algae. His shop will offer three items at any given time, selected from a pool of seven possible items, of which four require Chaliceweed for purchase:
- Monster Broth (2)
- Whitefish Fin (1)
- Conga Truffle (3)
- Blango Pelt+ (2)
In exchange for Gobletweed, you can acquire Ancient Wyvern Coins, Comaqchi Shells, and Spider Webs. Once Rove’s Item Trade is available, players can easily access his wares by speaking with Nata at base camp.
