The introduction of the Omega Planetes in the recent Final Fantasy XIV collaboration event has introduced a thrilling new challenge in Monster Hunter Wilds. Players are now presented with an exciting array of rewards, prominently featuring the impressive Bale Armor.
Whether you’re aiming for its robust stats or want to enhance your layered armor collection, the Bale Armor is definitely worth the effort. This guide will walk you through the process of unlocking this distinctive armor set, as well as detailing the materials required for crafting each piece.
Unlocking the Bale Armor in Monster Hunter Wilds
The Bale Armor (Alpha) set, introduced during the 2025 Final Fantasy XIV collaboration event, is a Rarity 8 set boasting impressive stats. It’s certainly a valuable addition even for those who may not be interested in its visual appeal.
To acquire this armor set, players must first complete Extra Mission 5, which includes two sub-missions: A Peak Predicament and Invader From the Stars. The latter requires you to defeat the normal version of Omega Planetes, either solo or with a team. Be well-prepared with restorative items and buffs, as this formidable foe does not hold back.
During the mission, utilize the Soul of the Pictomancer provided, as its attacks are particularly potent against Omega Planetes. Deploy these attacks strategically throughout the combat for optimal effect.
Upon defeating Omega Planetes, you’ll complete the mission and gain access to various rewards, including the coveted Bale Armor, which will be available for you to inspect at the forge afterward.
Crafting Bale Armor in Monster Hunter Wilds
Crafting the Bale Armor requires specific monster materials obtained from Omega Planetes. Even with Lucky Vouchers, gathering enough materials for the entire set may take several attempts. Remember, the materials are also needed for the Morbol Seedling Palico set, so plan your farming expeditions wisely.
To craft each piece of the Bale Armor, you will need the following materials:
Bale Burgeonet (Head Piece)
