Sharp Fangs are an early-game crafting resource you can start collecting in the Windward Plains at the beginning of your *Monster Hunter Wilds* journey. These fangs are crucial for forging beginner-tier gear sets like Chatacabra and Talioth armor.

To begin your search for Sharp Fangs, undertake one of the initial optional quests such as "Beware the Chatacabra" or "The Desert is Demanding." These quests will lead you to the Windward Plains with a generous 50-minute time limit. Before setting out, consider preparing a meal to boost your performance.

Once you arrive, head east to Area 8, a vast region teeming with smaller monsters. While several of these creatures may drop Sharp Fangs, focusing on one particular type will maximize your efficiency.

Gaijos

Gaijos, small leviathan monsters resembling crocodiles with unique snouts, are primarily found near or swimming in riverbeds in Area 8. You can locate them by scanning the interactive map for purple diamonds near water sources.

Approach a Gaijos location and use your weapon to swiftly defeat them, as they have relatively low health. After defeating a Gaijos, carve its carcass to obtain 1 x Sharp Fang. Gaijos are a guaranteed source of Sharp Fangs, making them your prime target. There are typically four to five Gaijos in the Windward Plains upon entering, and you can repeatedly start any Windward Plains optional quest to farm more Sharp Fangs as needed.

Another source of Sharp Fangs, albeit not guaranteed, is the Talioth. These bipedal creatures roam in small packs in Area 8 and occasionally Area 13. While slightly tougher than Gaijos, they're still manageable with starter weapons.

Upon defeating a Talioth, you may receive Sharp Fangs along with other items like Talioth Scales. Additionally, you can complete the "The Desert is Demanding" quest, which requires you to kill 8 x Talioths, while farming for Sharp Fangs.
