As a hunter exploring the Forbidden Lands, you must be resourceful and know where to find certain materials required for crafting.
This article covers everything you need to know about the Firecell Stone, a rare ore that can be harvested and used to craft items. There are a few ways to get your hands on this material, but it can take a while.

There are a few ways for your hunter to acquire Firecell Stones in Monster Hunter Wilds. You can get some by hunting monsters down and breaking specific parts, as rewards for completing optional quests like Succulent Scraps, or by farming them at Oilwell Basin.
Alternatively, this rare resource can be looted from any mining outcrop in the various regions of the Forbidden Lands.
It is worth noting that you can't get an unlimited supply from any mining outcrop, and you must wait a few in-game minutes for the Firecell Stones to restock. Fortunately, there are a few mining outcrops across various regions, which increases your chances of finding enough to upgrade your equipment and craft new items.

If you are out exploring the world and have a high rank, the chances of finding this material off a Gravios are extremely high. Here are the specific parts that you must target to acquire more Firecell Stone:
- Right Leg: 40% chance for breaking the right leg
- Left Leg: 40% chance for breaking the left leg
- Back: 40% chance for breaking the back
- Destroyed wound: 20% chance after successfully destroying any wound
During the optional quest called Succulent Scraps, you will be tasked with tracking and hunting down a Gravios. Your hunter can do this like killing two birds with one stone; you can gain access to a large wyvern rich with Firecell Stones, and you can check the side quest off your radar.

It is worth noting that you must be of high rank to enter the Oilwell Basin and search for Firecell Stones. Your hunter cannot acquire this rare ore if they have a low rank, which can be a nuisance if you are short on that specific item.
