While the majority of the armor sets in Moster Hunter Wilds are tied to the large monsters that you take down, there are a few secret sets that are actually linked to the Item Trade mechanic. As you make your way through the story you will be able to unlock different NPCs for trade by completing particular side quests.
These village missions usually involve slaying a particular monster and are not all that hard to complete. Once you do you unlock a trader and with subsequent quests you increase the number of items that they can trade with you.
Eventually, you will get to trade items that will help you make the secret armor sets in Monster Hunter Wilds. While these sets may not be particularly useful during a hunt, they can be used as some of the best, layered sets in the RPG.
So if you are looking to get some fashion going for your hunter, then the guide below will help you out.
