About Night Flower Moon Dust
Night Flower Locations on the Map
The Night Flower only appears on nights of the full moon, with locations found at the Abyssal Sand Plains and Crimson Forest. The Night Flower will not be shown in the environmental overview, but players can confirm its presence on the map by filtering using the icon on the bottom left corner.
Note that the skill Geology will not increase the amount of Night Flower collectibles; only one can be obtained per location per gathering attempt.

Step-by-Step Guide
Advance the main quest to Chapter 5-1, then travel to Kuna Fashion and speak with Issa to unlock the optional quest Raging Sand Dragon. Before starting, set up a simple campsite in Area 10 Southeast and Area 3 South. Accept the optional quest during the full moon phase, choosing the campsite in Area 10 as the starting point. You won't need to hunt the Sand Dragon; just locate the Moonflower and complete the simple gathering task.
From the beginning to the end of the full moon, repeat the steps of accepting this quest and collecting materials. You can repeat this about 8 times, collecting 2 Moonflowers each time, resulting in a total of 16 Moonflower Powder.
Step One: Wait for the Full Moon
Moonflower Powder can only be obtained on the night of the full moon. In this game, there are a total of 7 lunar phases, which change each time you rest. Keep checking the lunar phase and resting until you adjust to the state just before the full moon. Resting consumes guild points, so be sure to prepare in advance.
Understanding Moon Phases in Monster Hunter Wilds
It has been confirmed that the moon phase may not change during offline gameplay. If you encounter this issue, try resolving it by updating the game online.
How to Observe Moon Phases
To observe the moon phases, head to the Easy Camp in the Abyssal Sands at the southeastern area (Area 10). Rest and select Harvest Moon - Night. Stand on the upright rock facing east and wait for about one minute. The moon will appear from the far left side of the screen, rising from behind the mountain, and slowly move in an arc to the right. This is when you can observe the moon phase.
It is recommended to move your rest time to dusk during a full moon after familiarizing yourself with the steps and processes. If you rest directly to night, gathering will only be available for a short time after the full moon appears, which means the amount of moon dust collected in one night will be reduced.
Step Two: Accepting the Free Mission Wrath of the Sand Dragon
Talk to Alma and select Accept/Participate in Mission. Find Wrath of the Sand Dragon in the Free Mission section and switch the departure location to the southeastern area (Area 10).
Step Three: Collecting Moon Dust from Night Flowers
