Monster Hunter Wilds Ancient Wyvern Coin Guide – Where To Farm It and What To Use It for in MH Wilds

Monster Hunter Wilds has a lot of rare items that spawn at different locations depending on the time of the day. These range from special items you can gather, endemic life you can capture like the Sandstar, and aquatic life like the Goldenfish. One special item you can find in select locations is the Ancient Wyvern Coin. This might not seem useful initially, but you can get a lot done with it once you have a few of them. It isn't very easy to find the Ancient Wyvern Coin in Monster Hunter Wilds though, but there is a way to reliably get it to spawn so you can collect as many as you need.

What is the Ancient Wyvern Coin in Monster Hunter Wilds

The Ancient Wyvern Coin in Monster Hunter Wilds is a special item you can collect while out on the field hunting or exploring the maps in-game. It spawns in specific locations and you can spot it very easily thanks to how it appears on maps. The in-game description of Ancient Wyvern Coins is as follows:

Where to farm the Ancient Wyvern Coin in Monster Hunter Wilds

While you can find the Ancient Wyvern Coin in many locations, the most reliable way to farm it is in Area 8: Underground Lake in the Scarlet Forest. This is the same location I recommended for the Grand Escunite. This location is very useful for a camp since it is near a few ore gathering points as well as two fishing spots. When you're here, the first thing to do is rest until the Plenty. While I did this during the Morning time, I've spotted coins at other times as well. The important part is the Plenty environment setting.

Once here, move to the left and dive into the water by pressing the appropriate button and then you will always spot an Ancient Wyvern Coin as shown in the images. Note that you can also find the creature (Curioshell Crab) required for the "A Prize Held High" trophy/achievement here in the area to the right (the first fishing spot). This creature is a very rare spawn that also gives you an Ancient Wyvern Coin. 

Don't rely on finding the creature for farming Ancient Wyvern Coins. Treat this method as a way to always get one Ancient Wyvern Coin.

Where to trade Ancient Wyvern Coins in Monster Hunter Wilds

If you've not finished the story, you can trade at the Wudwud Hideout in the Scarlet Forest by talking to Gawdygog. If you've finished the main story, you can trade with Nata and access Gawdygog's trades. Note that the items you can trade for change over time. If you only see items like Monster Chili or Eastern Honey, you can rest or wait for the items to rotate out. Your best use of Ancient Wyvern Coins in Monster Hunter Wilds is Gold Relic Tickets or Hard Armor Spheres (or better).
