There are many ways to upgrade weapons in Monster Hunter Wilds, with one of the main upgrade trees for every weapon being Bone. After the first Bone weapon, there are many different trees to upgrade into, with one being the basic Bone upgrade that just increases the base stats of the original weapon.
This tier two Bone weapon also has other trees to upgrade into and is a great upgrade if you have the materials to do so, one of which almost always is Sturdy Bone. Sturdy Bone is a fairly easy item to find as long as you know where to look, here’s how to easily farm as much as you need.

All of the monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds have their own strengths and weaknesses and many can be found in multiple locations.
Where To Farm Sturdy Bone In Monster Hunter Wilds
Sturdy Bone has a chance of dropping every time you loot a Bonepile. Bonepiles appear on the map as a yellow monster icon with a question mark over it, and will usually be found near major monster nests in any region. Sturdy Bones are most reliably found in the third region, the Oilwell Basin. While this is the most reliable place to find some, Sturdy Bone can also reliably be found in the Windward Planes and Forest.
The locations of Bonepiles do not change, and once marked on the map there will always be a Bonepile there whenever you come back.
Should you loot Bonepiles in the earlier regions, you’ll more often find Mysterious Bones which are also needed to craft the base Bone weapons that will be upgraded with Sturdy Bones. Bonepiles also usually have multiple items that can be looted from them, so whenever you find one and press the button to loot it, be sure to wait a second before looting it again and getting that second item. The easiest way to find monster nests where there are usually one or two Bonepiles is to begin an Optional Quest to hunt any monster of your choosing, as every monster has a nest. Some reliable places to find Bonepiles are:
- Area 3 & the path leading to Area 7 of Oilwell Basin.
- Area 1 & 9 of the Windward Planes.
- Areas 4 & 6 of the Forest.

How Often Do Bonepiles Respawn In Monster Hunter Wilds
No matter where you loot a Bonepile, it will be fifteen real-world minutes before that Bonepile has replenished its loot. You can check the time left on the replenishment of a specific Bonepile by hovering over its icon on the map to see the countdown. There is also no correlation between the loot that was previously obtained from a Bonepile and what will be obtained this time, as the chances are always the same based on the region you’re in. Once a Bonepile is marked on the map, you can jump on your Seikret and mark the location on the map to have your trusty bird run you there automatically.
