Lusterwasp is an Epic-tier resource in Monster Hunter Outlanders that appears as a bright yellow, butterfly-like insect scattered across the map. This material is mainly used for upgrading the Watchtower, making it an important resource for improving your exploration and overall progression.
Although Lusterwasp is labeled as an Epic resource, it is actually quite common once you understand where to get it. The real challenge is not its rarity, but the time it takes to gather enough of it. Since it primarily comes from Field Events, you will need to actively explore and complete multiple activities across the map to collect a decent amount.
The main way to obtain Lusterwasp is through Field Events. These events appear in different areas while you explore and usually involve simple objectives like defeating enemies, interacting with objects, or completing short encounters. Because of this, you won’t get Lusterwasp from regular monster farming, so relying on random combat alone will not be effective.
To farm Lusterwasp efficiently, it is best to keep moving around the map instead of staying in one location. Always check for Field Event markers and prioritize completing them whenever they appear. Once you finish an event and collect the rewards, move on to another area and repeat the process. This constant cycle of exploring and clearing events is the most reliable way to gather Lusterwasp over time.
In short, the process is simple:
- Explore different areas of the map
- Look for Field Events
- Complete the objectives
- Collect your rewards
- Repeat in other zones
If you are aiming to upgrade your Watchtower, make Field Events part of your regular gameplay routine. Even though Lusterwasp is easy to find, it can be time-consuming to farm, so consistency is key to progressing faster.
