The Earth Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds can be farmed in the Windward Plains Gathering Points, but you will need to be of Low Rank to be able to farm this material. If you are of High Rank, you will not be able to farm the item by going to the Gathering Points.

Given Monster Hunter Wilds lacks a toggle between Low and High Rank maps, it can become difficult to farm resources that are exclusive to one. In this case, the Earth Crystals can be exclusively obtained from the Low-Rank Windward Plains map.

However, there is a bypass if you have progressed to the late-game content — simply replay any Low-Rank quest in the Windwards Plains region. We recommend selecting a hunt with a long timer, as this will allow you to easily go to the Gathering Points and collect the material to your liking. Given you will pretty much have High-Ranked gear, it won't take much time to capture or kill the low-level monster you will be hunting.

Best farming locations for the Earth Crystals in Monster Hunter Wilds

Areas 2, 3, and 16 are the best bet for you to obtain some Earth Crystals in the Windward Plains region of the map. If you have progressed to the late game and are in need of this material, start the Low-Rank Chatacabra or Quematrice hunting quests.

Both of these will give you enough time to head out to the aforementioned areas and collect the Earth Crystals. You can use Geologist to collect a few extras of these items. Once you are done with your collection, deal with the monster as you see fit, either by capturing it or killing it, then conclude the quest.
