Optimal Golden Ticket Farm after TU1 - Comprehensive Guide (endgame decorations, artians, etc)

Overview

Con presents an easy, repeatable Golden Ticket farm for Monster Hunter Wilds after TU1. The method relies on harvesting night flowers during a full moon and trading them for tickets. Fishing and other gathering routes help offset the research-point cost of repeated rests.

Potential Rewards

At the rates described, an hour of farming can yield approximately:

• 140 high-tier weapon decorations, or
• 280 high-tier armor decorations, or
• 210 rare-rarity-eight Artian weapon components

The exact rewards depend on which tickets you trade. The farm can also provide:

• Supplies from item retrievals, such as honey, mandragora, and might seeds
• Zenny, research points, and ancient coins
• Additional reinforcement materials and armor spheres through festival shares and related trades

Key Mechanics

• Night flowers bloom as evening turns into night during a full moon. Resting straight to night skips the bloom.
• Harvest flowers and trade them with Sekka for Golden Melding Tickets (decorations), Golden Relic Tickets (Artian weapon parts), or armor spheres. Her available trades are randomized.
• Resting resets NPC trades. Changing the time advances the moon cycle; changing only the weather resets trades without advancing the cycle.
• Each rest costs 500 research points. Start with at least 5,000 points to allow for mistakes.

Route and Farming Loop

1. Set Up the Full Moon

1. Rest to night with the weather set to Plenty.
2. Wait at the Windward Plains base camp for the moon to appear, then compare its phase with the guide’s moon chart.
3. Rest to evening until reaching phase seven, the full moon.

2. Start the Repeatable Loop

1. Begin at Scarlet Forest base camp on the evening of a full moon.
2. Check Sekka’s trades and take available Golden Ticket trades if you have enough flowers or other required items. Collect item retrievals or festival shares as needed.
3. Go to camp 8 at the Underground Lake and catch fish with the capture net.
4. Follow the ancient-coin route: collect coins around the nearby tree and underwater area, gather weeds that can be traded for more coins, and check for crab spawns. The route typically provides around nine or ten coins per trip.
5. Return to camp 8 for another round of fishing.
6. Rest with the weather set to Plenty, but do not change the time. This resets fish spawns and trades without moving the moon phase.
7. Fish again, check Sekka’s trades, then fish once more. Repeat the fishing-and-trade pattern until evening is nearly over.

3. Harvest the Flowers

1. Start from camp 14 and collect the first flower as evening becomes night.
2. Go to the Treetop Hill camp 18—not the other camp 18—to collect the second flower.

4. Advance to the Next Full Moon

1. Rest to evening seven times.
2. Set the weather to Inclement for the first six rests to gain reinforcement materials from festival shares. Set the final rest to Plenty.
3. Begin the loop again at the next full moon.

Tips and Caveats

• This version does not require restarting the game or posting quests; methods that relied on those actions were patched out.
• Reaching the next full moon costs an extra 3,500 research points per cycle. The route includes two fishing rounds per rest to help offset the cost.
• Fishing skill affects how sustainable the loop is: catch fish quickly and avoid letting them escape.
• If you are short on research points or trade opportunities, skip the ancient-coin detour and spend more time fishing or checking trades. You can also fish or check trades between the seven rests, though that lowers the overall rate.
• When netting fish, starting crouched and then uncrouching and recrouching after each shot can reduce the firing animation time.
