Does anyone have recommendations for good Dual Blades, Long Sword, and bows that aren't too difficult to make? I know the Arena LS is really good, but something easier to make than that (for now). Also, is there a good set of dual blades that is decent 'all-purpose' and not too difficult to make?

For LS go Nergy if you don't want to dive into arenas.

2 faints so I was sweatin... It was a fun but difficult fight for sure. He OKO me both times XD

The heroes stone was for axes which I can put to good use just need to decide which weapon. Pretty awesome this quest seems to drop stream stones like crazy

Oof, tempered Jho is stressful. Also didn't get any outrageous streamstone drops the five times I did him m. I'll stick to elders for farming

I tried going into the Discord to join up but I never got an invite. Is the squad leader still active?

As far as interest in a new ERA squad goes, seems like ObstucT, impact, and Sticky Fingers are in...which is basically the current squad lol. Would anyone else in here be interested?
He is still around. Best way is to join the discord channel and then coordinate with the squad leader for the invite. I don't have any power in the discord, but I will send you an invite and see if it works.

Edit: sent invites to you, impact, cartman, adam. Hopefully it works.

Well at least I'm not failing the tempered Jho because of carting, just running out of time now.
Also gone through all my resources so gonna have to farm/cultivate, literally no honey or any ingredients left to make anything. xD
One good thing though is collecting the footprints I've finally got quite a few tier 2 tempered investigations.

Does tempered Jho have more health or armor? Regular Jho was a 20 minute fight, tempered Jho took ... well, let's just say it was kind of embarrassing.

I get the fastest tempered Jho times with the longsword but the safest way is to go with Lance/Gunlance.

Also, vitality +3 and divine blessing +3 will help if someone struggles with him.

Would i be able to get an invite to the discord as well? Pretty much most all of my group has already quit the game so it'd be nice to hook up with some people from here on Era.

I love the way the male armor looks. I will definitely get it after I get all the weapons I need.

I didn't even realize Deviljho was out. How are the weapons and armor you get from him?
Most of the weapons are really good (Apparently the Light Bowgun sucks though). They have very high raw, high elderseal, good dragon damage, and white sharpness with handicraft. They do have negative affinity, but stuff like Weakness Exploit can easily compensate. The Hunting Horn is easily one of the best general purpose horns in the game alongside the Bazelreid Rookslayer, Desolation's Overture, and Heavy Bone Horn 2. Attack Up L and Defense Up L are great songs and the horn has very high damage.

All the weapons have unique models and animations too, which is nice when so many weapons in World use the same base models.

The armor is a mixed bag (though to be fair, that's most armor). No armor set bonus is disappointing. The Alpha version provides Handicraft +3 but has no slots. Lookswise, I like both male armors and the female Alpha armor, but the female Beta armor looks like garbage. On the plus side, the wrestling belt looks amazing when mixed with other armor.

Alright got tempered Deviljho without any carts BUT it was a great (and long! 22 min) fight that required me to play with composture. I also had to use everything in my arsenal. This is Monster Hunter, good stuff.

Congrats! It's kinda hilarious for me you consider 22 minutes a long fight, since I take a long ass time for most monsters. :P Can only beat a few Tempered Elders under 15 minutes consistently (Nerg and Kirin are easy to kill fast, Teostra but only with the right weapon).

Still haven't fought Tempered Jho solo; I didn't realize before doing the quest yesterday that it was buffed so much from regular Jho. Gonna try it tonight with Hunting Horn or Lance (Not Hammer; trying to hit Jho's head with Hammer is a nightmare in my experience).

Any recommendations for a Charge Blade build? I'm basically just starting now to think about mixing armor sets and such.

I guess different playstyles and weapons! Thanks btw, it really is a good fight. And this comes from someone who was utterly disappointed by vanilla Jho!

Tempered Jho is impossible. People dying left and right.
5th attempt now, and in all those attempts I died once so far.

If you're going for an Impact CB (which you probably should), you'll need Artillery 3 and Capacity Up, as well as any other sources of raw damage that you can get (Attack Plus, NonElemental Boost). Boosting affinity isn't as much of an issue because the phial bursts can't crit, but you'll probably still want Weakness Exploit because it's just that easy to get.

Guard and Guard+ are nice because of how good the shield is and how fun guard points are.

Thanks, I'll keep those points in mind! Yeah, and I wanted to go for Impact anyway.

I can't figure out how to roll out of the pin that Jho puts me in. I haven't had trouble with this before, his really locks me in then goes for the OHKO.

Help?

My favorite thing about T Jho groups is when someone dies twice then equips a lance in shame, so good

5th attempt now, and in all those attempts I died once so far.

Watched a YouTube streamer down it on the their first attempt with only 1 cart, took 20 minutes. And then he continued to farm it for 4 hours.

High Defense is a must so you don't get one shot, and capturing is the quicker option. Seems Palico with the flash cage worked wonders.

Oh I beat him solo no problem. Problems occur when others don't even stay lying on the ground when he'S about to do a follow up move and die immideately.
Holy shit Tempered Jho is way harder when he's only focused on you
You get less hits in for sure, but on the other hand you don't cart as often.
I only did it twice and no stones. I share the same feelings, even tempered kirin is faster for me and less stressful.
Karma und so. :P
Got 2 sword hero streamstones and one normal for lance from the first hunt. Used a voucher though.

Yeah, I did it with a group that kept him basically permanently pinned down and I would conservatively say the version in that quest has 4x the health of even Vaal Hazak or Nergigante.

If you told me it's closer to 8x I might even believe you.

This is all in your heads. It comes down to openings and saftey. People are playing more conservative because they have too and thus hitting it less. I was in an all range group and it went down in what I expected.

six more to go to complete my crowns. I don't even feel like trying the jho event as I've gotten the hero stones I want. I just want my crowns dammit T-T

May I also receive an invite? The struggle to find non-random ppl is real out here in the new world.

Are you doing it solo

I don't think you read my post. The opening was "perpetual", we had Jho in a constant state of KO/Paralysis/Trapped/etc. for minutes on end just pouring damage into the stupid thing.

It most definitely has a significant quest buff to health.

Edit: And further, doing it solo: yeah, he has way, way, way more health than any Elder Dragon. I've solo'd all of them and also solo'd HR Jho and the one in the quest is blatantly and dramatically much beefier.

Tempered Uragaan appears to have been considerably buffed up too.. I'm fainting on being rolled over with 150hp and 475 def
