The Bird Wyvern Gem is a rare material that can be obtained in Monster Hunter Rise by defeating specific Bird Wyvern monsters. Bird Wyverns are a class of flying wyverns in Monster Hunter that typically resemble birds or pterosaurs. Obtaining the Bird Wyvern Gem requires patience and persistence, as it has a low drop rate.
Which Monsters Drop Bird Wyvern Gems?
There are a few key Bird Wyverns that have a chance of dropping the Bird Wyvern Gem:
- Mizutsune
- Kulu-Ya-Ku
- Pukei-Pukei
- Tobi-Kadachi
- Barioth
Mizutsune, Kulu-Ya-Ku, Pukei-Pukei and Tobi-Kadachi have the highest chance of dropping Bird Wyvern Gems. Barioth has a lower drop rate. Focus your efforts on hunting the first four monsters to maximize your chances.
Break Monster Parts
One of the best ways to increase the Bird Wyvern Gem drop rate is to break as many monster parts as possible during the hunt. Target and break the following parts:
- Head
- Wings
- Tail
- Back/ torso
Damaging and breaking multiple parts will give you more Gem drop chances from the reward boxes at the end of the quest. Use blunt weapons like hammers, hunting horns and shields to break parts more easily.
Capture Monsters
Capturing monsters also boosts the chances of rare materials like Bird Wyvern Gems. Use Shock Traps and Tranq Bombs to capture your target monster when it is weak enough. The reward boxes from capturing have higher rates for rare drops.
Increase Reward Box Chances
Certain skills can increase the number of reward boxes you receive after completing a quest. This directly improves your chances of getting rare drops like the Gem.
Skills that boost reward box drops include:
- Good Luck
- Capture Master
- Pilot Hare
- Felyne Provoker
Stacking multiple skills gives you the best results. Eat for Felyne Provoker, equip Good Luck armor skills, and capture the monster with Capture Master to maximize rewards.
Complete Investigations
Special Investigation quests offer increased chances for rare materials over regular hunts. Investigations come with extra reward boxes and improved Gem rates. Especially target Silver and Gold Investigation bounties.
Some ways to get Bird Wyvern Investigations:
- Collect monster tracks and break parts during Expeditions
- Complete limited bounties focused on Bird Wyverns
- Use the Argosy trade ship to find Investigations
Repeatedly complete Bird Wyvern Investigations as you get them to farm for the Gem.
Hunt in High Rank
Gems have substantially higher drop rates from High Rank monsters compared to Low Rank ones. Progress through the story until you unlock 5 star High Rank quests to start effectively gem farming.
High Rank Bird Wyverns like High Rank Mizutsune and Kulu-Ya-Ku will give Gems more frequently from reward boxes.
Join Multiplayer Hunts
Taking on monsters with other hunters makes breaking parts easier due to increased damage. The parts broken multiplier is shared with all hunters in the quest, improving your chances as a group.
The target monster will also gain increased health and attack power, making it more likely to drop rare materials after defeating it. Take advantage of the multiplayer scaling to farm for Gems.
Use Luck Boosting Items
Consumable items like the Lucky Cat can temporarily boost your luck skill while hunting. Use these to further improve your odds of carves and quest rewards containing Gems.
Notable luck boosting items:
- Lucky Cat
- Celestial Wyverian Print
- Ring of Fortune
- Fortunate Cat
- Felicicrow
Try to eat for Felyne Gamechanger food skill as well, which gives a luck boost to part damage and carved materials.
Target Specific High Rank Quests
Certain High Rank event quests have enhanced Bird Wyvern Gem rates compared to others. Priority target these quests when available to increase your farming efficiency:
Quest Name | Monster |
---|---|
MN-6★ Bath Time Brawl | Mizutsune |
SR-7★ Egg Lovers United | Kulu-Ya-Ku |
MR-5★ Colorful Carnival | Mizutsune, Pukei-Pukei |
Repeatedly complete these and similar event quests to get Gems quickly during their rotation schedules.
Hunt Tempered Bird Wyverns
Tempered monsters have a higher chance of dropping rare materials. Tempered Bird Wyverns like Tempered Mizutsune have better Gem rates than their regular High Rank versions.
Unlock tempered quests by progressing through High Rank and increasing your Hunter Rank. Then specifically hunt Tempered Bird Wyverns for improved Gem chances.
Complete Limited Bounties
Limited Bounties that require hunting Bird Wyverns will reward you with helpful items upon completion. These include Gourmet Vouchers and Celestial Wyverian Prints.
Use the Vouchers to eat for Felyne Provoker. Turn in the Prints at the Elder Melder for guaranteed Gems. Doing limited bounties gives you items to boost Gem rates through these methods.
Use the Elder Melder
The Elder Melder allows you to trade monster materials for specific gems. This gives you some control over getting Bird Wyvern Gems.
Noteworthy melding options for Gems:
- Wyvern Gem for 288 points
- Mysterious Feystone for 200 points
- Celestial Wyverian Print for one Gem
Collect trade-in materials like gembundles, plates, mantles and crystals to meld for Gems occasionally.
Join Bonus Reward Hunts
Keep an eye out for random Bonus Reward enabled quests in the quest board. These have massively improved rare drop rates. Join these hunts whenever they are available to have lots of chances for Gems.
