If you’ve been exploring **Monster Hunter Wilds**, you might have noticed that it keeps armor and weapon designs hidden until you gather the necessary materials. While this feature can help avoid spoilers related to various monsters in **Wilds**, it can also lead to situations where you miss out on discovering certain pieces of equipment altogether. A perfect example is the Sinister Cloth—a material that conceals one of the game’s coolest armor sets behind some secret requirements.
Unlike more straightforward items that can be acquired by mining ore through exploration, the Sinister Cloth requires a bit more ingenuity to obtain. **Fortunately, as you advance in the game, acquiring Sinister Cloth becomes easier**, especially if you’re completing side quests to unlock new traders. By working with Nata, the newly appointed Village Intermediary, you can start your search for Sinister Cloth. However, the outcome is largely up to chance.
Top Locations for Sinister Cloth
Using Material Retrieval for Passive Farming
Your best chance to find Sinister Cloth doesn’t require much effort; it simply involves regularly checking your Material Retrievals. Each time you collect a material from a location’s leader, there’s a small chance you might receive bonus rewards. These rewards can include not only common materials but also rare items that can only be obtained through special trading requests.
Although you can’t boost your odds of securing a specific bonus material, **Murtabak from Kunafa in the Windward Plains is the sole gatherer that offers Sinister Cloth as a bonus**. To speed things up, consider selecting a material that has a higher gathering rate, as this might lead to additional bonus finds. Also, resting at any tent will refresh your resources for the next collection round.
Alternative Methods to Obtain Sinister Cloth
A More Dependable Approach for Rare Resources
The next strategy for farming Sinister Cloth is more stable, though still somewhat random. By engaging with trading requests through Nata or the other NPCs, **you can purchase Sinister Cloth from either Gawdygog at Wudwud hideout in the Scarlet Forest or Kilama from Kunafa**. Currently, these options may not be available, but there’s a chance that future exclusive event quests will provide new opportunities to farm materials like Sinister Cloth. So, keep an eye out for updates!
During the Plenty and Morning times, check Area 6 and 8 in the Scarlet Forest. They have a Coin Crab and an underwater spawn point for Ancient Wyvern Coins, plus another near the entrance to the Area 8 camp at the first tree that can be climbed by the Seikret. After collecting these, simply fast-travel to another map and return to refresh the spawn rates.
For Kilama’s trading requests, they might ask for rare items such as the Great Windward Aloe, which can drop from Windward Succulents in the Windward Plains but is more common during a Great Windward Aloe Emergence event. **The WudWud trading requests offer a more consistently found item**, but obtaining it can be time-consuming as you need to spend 10 Ancient Wyvern Coins per Sinister Cloth. While gathering enough resources for a full set for yourself and your trusty Palico in **Monster Hunter Wilds** might take time, it’s best to be prepared when the trade becomes available.
