Basically break and cut everything you can form a monster. Also take Palico Plunder blade etc. More the merrier!
First Shrieking Legiana hunt: you get a mantle!
First Azure Rathalos hunt: you get a mantle!
First Uragaan hunt: you get a pallium!
I will never understand my luck in this game.

I currently use the Glavenus armor and it unlocks the earlier version of the skill (active as soon as stamina is full) at skill level 5, which is still pretty nice on GS.
I know I will have to upgrade soon though, the armor itself aint cutting it anymore.
The instant rage is due to the 3 claw shots + attack performed .
Attack Boost 7
Critical Eye 7
Agitator 4
Critical Boost 3
Weakness Exploit 3
Peak Performance 3
Blast Attack 2
Evade Window 2

I don't have the exact figures, but I strongly suspect the mantle drop rates are the same as the HR gem drops. They are incredibly rare from regular rewards and carves, but are about 7/15% chances from silver/gold investigation rewards. I usually get one every 2-3 investigations.
Use SOS to make the fights go quicker. If you have an investigation with a bunch of silver/gold rewards, then people will quickly join!
I finally tried out the aquashot LBG. I can see why it's so popular since it's so easy to use (I have used LBG <5 times before now and I was taking on tier 2 tempered with no problems).
Bowguns are usually quite hard since you have to carefully manage your range, but with sticky it doesn't matter.
The new events sound interesting. Unity symbols for upgrading armour? Chicken-drumstick hammer? Some new 'white' weapons? Cool.
Is this a good game to pick up on Xbox one X? I'm getting bored with destiny and cod and am looking for a new game to jump into . I play about an hour a day and maybe a couple hours on the weekend . Thanks
it's definitely a great game perhaps if you don't mind learning being a long process i just clicked 500hours played on ps4 through base game and iceborne when you get familiar with it its actually quite a relaxing game to just go hunt and you're forever learning and being more efficient one of my favourite titles ever
It's on Gamepass so there's no reason not to try it out.
Oof. Yeah, just read about the changes. Not very useful now.
Thanks I try it out this weekend. What are some tips for a beginner who's never played a monster hunter title before ?
My one piece of advice is don't get frustrated if the combat doesn't click with you right away. The learning curve can be difficult but once you understand it the game feels incredible to play.
Also, play around with all the weapon types. I mostly use sword and shield but I jump around between 3 others because they are all so unique in their play styles.
Try a few different weapons until you find one you like, then watch the Gaijinhunter or Arekkz tutorial for it on Youtube.
Thanks for the great tips, my monitor is 1440p with g sync. I'm tinkering with settings now. Also I think I was looking at my hardware monitor wrong cause it was my GPU that I noticed was at 99% which is technically fine. Hopefully I can fix the blurry mess though.
Yeah, I was saying I knew they were using agitator because they did 3 claws to enrage. No other reason to want to hop right in and enrage it (at least for a gold rathian anyway). Also, thank you! This is actually a lot closer to what I'm already using than I expected, so I'm a bit surprised.
I'm still fairly new to all these available PC options. I did download reshad cause of RE2 Remake. I found one preset and I'm using that and it noticeably is better. Is lumasharpen a lreset or included with most offerings people put up?
I took a look at the Acidic Glavenous armor set. Pretty meh just to get a set bonus that gives you back what max might used to be. I'd run a set along these lines in early MR : EARLY MR
I just threw that in together, I'm sure there's a few better setups at that point (Acid Glav).
What augment would you put on a Safi'Jiiva greatsword (Sharpness V, Attack VI, Attack V x3). I'm not specifically building for max damage, so I'm thinking that health regen would be nice... is that viable on a GS?
Is my game bugged or what? Suddenly two armors disappeared fromy my Worskhop "Forge equipment" menu - Gajau and Kestodon. Or am I missing something here?
No dude
Gajau ONLY has boots. Kestodon ONLY has gloves etc
The new Nvidia control panel sharpening also is a must for MHW. If you use TAA, I strongly advise you to use Nvidia's sharpening to bring back the lost detail. It works wonders.
It's built in with the new drivers, just go to the NCP to enable and tweak it to your liking!

I know it's probably not Meta but I'm getting a lot out of this mixed Latent Power/Critical Element set I made for dual blades.
Stygian Zinogre Helm b
Velkhana Chest b
Stygian Zinogre arms b
Stygian Zinogre waist b
Velkhana Greaves b
I've got 40% built in affinity from Critical Eye Lvl 7, then Latent Power Lvl 7. When it activates I'm at 100% affinity (60% boost from latent power and 50% stamina consumption reduction). The 2 pieces of Velkhana make critical hits do more elemental damage though I'm not sure of the cap.
Is Latent Powers duration affected by Power Prolonger? I'd like to keep it active longer just so I have a bigger 100% affinity critical element window. Ideally I'd have health regen augmented so I can tank a hit to activate LP and get all my health back from the attacks, but I've yet to get the materials for said augment so it's all just an idea for the moment.
I'd also to see if I can add Crit Boost anywhere since Weakness Exploit is level 3 already, but I'll need to shift stuff around where possible. Such decos elude me...
Maybe it's overkill or a waste. Has anyone messed with anything similar?

No idea but sounds like a really fun build regardless!
Latent power is a cool skill its a shame it requires you to take hits to activate but its pairs amazingly with SafiJivva Set bonus or against monsters that deal chip damage/ poison/Blight etc and rewards a steamrolling playstyle
In fact I can think of tons of different synergistic setups like rocksteady mantle, divine blessing, resentment, health augment on you weapon
Its certainly an interesting alternative to hit 100% affinity and its even more effective for Stamina weapons like Duals and Bows
Just got to Velkhana
Right now I have the Paolumu Somnus set just for the defense and the defender bow
Should I care about getting a proper set for Velk? And if I need one what should I farm for Bow and Insect Glaive?

Landing a TCS from no health and watching fill back up to max is so damn satisfying. Definitely can't wait to make an endgame build just for that again.
Indeed it is! I still need to practice to charge->tackle->TCS tho. I don't know why I keep forgetting about it.
2-pc Velk is perfect until Silver Rath because of the Crit Elem. Bow is BiS for each element (Legi for ice, Glav for fire, Laguna for water, Hazak for dragon, Kadachi for thunder).

Note that the Legiana bow will be outclassed by the Barioth bow as soon as PC gets the volcanic GL region in early February, so it's almost not worth bothering making, upgrading, and augmenting the Legiana one now.
Isn't Barioth in the tundra zone? Or is tundra and volcanic coming out same time?
OP
OP
I meant that once you get access to level 6 augments using volcanic GL materials, the Barioth bow starts to outshine the Legiana bow, and then level 7 augments from the tundra region fully push it ahead.
Got my full Legiana MR armor and fully upgraded too. 4/7 defense, Almost max ice attack, almost max evade window, windproof, max health boost, max ice resistance, max divine blessing, 2/3 recovery speed. Let's gooooooo!
Play/build how you want, but defense isn't a good skill. Since you have a lot of good defensive skills on there (health boost, divine blessing, and recovery speed isn't horrid), add some offense... get some affinity on there!
Thanks, I think I'll stick with my plan to go for the health augment first.
Interesting... I'll solve this problem by fully upgrading both of them... >.>
It seems defense boost is the armor itself. Can't do much about that. But I think you mean add some jewels? All the slots are full though. I have ice resistance jewel 1,3 vitality jewel 1s, recovery jewel +4, wind resist jewel 2,destroyer /medicine jewel 4 and frost jewel 1.
I could replace wind resist with one that boost affinity.
Ooooh wait, defense charm 4 is the defense boost, has to be. I could use a better charm there.
It's fun, especially since when LP activates you have a 2m window of 100% crit on any weapon without augments or built in affinity.
I'm curious how much health augment restores, because it may end up being a very aggressive build focused on LP uptime and hp recovery from those dozens of hits.(perhaps paired with agitator or something of the sort like resentment as you mentioned.)
Currently I've only messed with duals but your mention of bows gives me some more tweaks and ideas to work with.
I'll have to do some more math once I get some Safi stuff. Is the event back next week?
I have to keep it in the back of my mind to remember that stamina reduction cap. Which means running bow on Latent Power means you need to maximize that uptime as quickly as possible. So Latent Power would NEED to be combined with Safi set. Not sure that would allow it to outdamage Crit element builds but you could opt to do this
Velkhana + Safi 3PC and however many points of LP you need to get max affinity for cheap. Use empty slots for Spread, Mighty Bow, Resentment, Agitator. Charm for Element
Definitely something I may play around with
Hammers have a bunch of freedom man. Just focus on the basics. Affinity, sharpness, attack power, crit boost
Defensive skills like health boost and divine blessing.
Hammer skills like KO and stamina thief..
Generally useful skills like evade window, evade extender, fast eating, speed sharpening, partbreaker, tool specialist..
Whatever you want really. Hammers have so much power and good hitzones for monster heads that you can kind of do whatever you want and make it work
Glavenus set + hammer carried me all the way to the final boss without much issue.
Once you can replace regular Glav's hammer for Acidic's even better.
Health aug and awakening use different materials. If you don't have handi+2 gems And are running meta Masters Touch, I would recommend 2 sharpness V, attack VI, and 2 attack V for 20 hits of sharpness. If you aren't running Masters Touch for some reason, run all attack.
If you're at Glav I think you can farm MR Teo which is the best melee armor in the game. Peak isn't very good on GS since you're gonna be trading hits on tackles.
Fulgur Helm, Damascus chest, and 3pc Glav is still good enough to get you to the final boss though.
Can anyone tell me what that little black dot thing is in my ice attack skill? The same goes for recovery up and part breaker. What is that black dot?
Also, it says not active for part breaker and recovery up. Is that because I'm in HQ and thus not in a battle?

It means they're only active while you wear the mantles where you equipped the decos.
