How to fix ‘Nightflower Pollen not blooming during Full Moon’ in MH Wilds
Upon the launch ofMonster Hunter Wilds, players discovered aNightflower Pollenfarming method by participating in several quests. Now that this technique has been nerfed, you’ll have to do it the old-fashioned way by waiting for the Full Moon to appear. However, you can’t do the simple method of resting until Nighttime. You’ll need to do this instead:
Although it seems quicker to rest until Nighttime, this method does not cause the Nightflower Pollen to bloom. Many players (including myself) had an issue with this, so you’ll just have to do the waiting game from the Evening point. I personally tried out this technique, and it did indeed work.
To help you find Nightflower Pollen, check out these spots:
Windward Plains Area 3/4
At the top of Area 3, you’ll find a Nightflower Pollen location. Travel to Area 4 (Mineral Cave fast travel works best) and useyour Seikretto get up higher. Utilize some vines to reach an elevated area, and you’ll find the pollen near some Mining Outcrops.
Windward Plains Area 10
Area 10’s Nightflower Pollen location will be right out in the open. Nevertheless, you’ll still need to be careful of any surrounding monsters.
Scarlet Forest Area 17
To reach Area 17, you must take the pathway on Area 14. While on your way up, you’re able to see Nightflower Pollen when you reach the top of Zone 17. It’ll be near some Honey and a Flashbug.
Look around these locations during the Full Moon to gather as much Nightflower Pollen as you can. While it’s not as significant as the previous farming methods, it at least gives you quite a bit of them. Then, you can exchange them through Item Trades (in the same area asMaterial Retrieval), opening the door to Gold Relic Tickets and Hard Armor Spheres. Both items are crucial for upgrading your Armor, including rare Decorations for various buffs.
