Where to Find Chaliceweed in Monster Hunter Wilds

Monster Hunter Wilds is filled with rare and special items that aren’t visible on the map as collection points, or in a monster’s loot drop table, or anywhere else. The game offers no help finding them, and players looking to obtain them are left wondering where to look.

One of these items is Chaliceweed, an extremely rare spawn that can only be stumbled upon by chance. It’s a required item to Item Trade with Rove, the verbose Wudwud in the Iceshard Cliffs. Here is where to find it.

How to Get Chaliceweed in MH Wilds

glass algae in monster hunter wilds to farm chaliceweed

Chaliceweed can be found in three different ways:

Method	Description	Farming Viability
Glass Algae (Rare spawn)	Gathering Glass Algae has a very small chance of dropping Chaliceweed instead of Golbetweed.	Yes (detailed below)
Gastronome Tuna (Rare spawn)	Fishing out a Gastronome Tuna (Scarlet Forest Area 17) has a chance of dropping Chaliceweed. Since Gastronome Tuna is considered a whopper, fishing it is not easy to do, nor is it fast.	No
Wudwud Bonfire Event	he Wudwuds have a Bonfire celebration at the roof of the Wudwud hideout when the season and time of day change to Plenty + Nighttime. All Wudwuds in the celebration will either offer free items or item exchanges. One of the possible items obtainable through this method is Chaliceweed.	No

Chaliceweed Farming Method in MH Wilds

The easiest way to farm for Chaliceweed is by collecting Glass Algae found in the Scarlet Forest Area 12. Here’s a step-by-step process on what you need to do.

Equip an armor/talisman/decoration to obtain level 2 Geologist skill and, optionally, the Forest Forager skill.
Teleport to Area 12: Northeast Pop-up Camp (set it up if you don’t have it already).
Mount your Seikret and head to the area behind the waterfall that’s just to the northwest of the campsite.
To the left, you will see the water flowing downward in between two rocks (pictured above).
Walk to the edge, and you’ll see the prompt to ‘Dive in.’ Do so.
Your character will dive underwater, following a preset path, but you will be able to move the camera and gather materials using the Hook Slinger.
Gather all Glass Algae in this area. They will be converted to either Gobletweed or Chaliceweed in your inventory. Look to the messages on the right of the screen to keep track.
After you exit, open the World Map and fast travel to any location outside of the Scarlet Forest.
Then, fast-travel back to the Area 12: Northeast camp.
All Glass Algae will have respawned, and you can repeat the process.

To summarize, go to Scarlet Forest Area 12 underwater area, collect all Glass Algae, fast travel to a different area, then fast travel back. And repeat.

Where to Use Chaliceweed

Chaliceweed can be traded with Rove, who is camped out in the Iceshard Cliff Area 20, right next to the Area 20: Ancient Room Pop-up Camp. Like all Item Traders, Rove’s stock is limited and is only refreshed after a single day of in-game time has passed.

Typically, Rove wants to trade for Chaliceweed and Gobletweed, the two items obtained by collecting Glass Algae in the Scarlet Forest. Rove will only have three items up for sale at any one time, but there are seven possible items he can stock in his Item Trade shop; four of them require 1x Chaliceweed to be purchased. They are:
