Monster Hunter World: Iceborne |OT| Looking for love in Alatreon places
- Thread starter BDS
- Start date
after fighting it so often i don't think it's that annoying now, but the gross noises it makes along with how fucking big it is make me never want to fight it again
my advice is to never run guiding lands solo. Just jump into other's sessions via sos.A full room can take out monsters quickly. I usually jump in and run several hunts in under an hour. Solo you might get two in and they would be a chore.
some of the most fun I have had in iceborne has been in the guiding lands.
I think it's just not clear how certain mechanics work. Sometimes I'll lure out a monster that I don't have a lot of lures for and it arrives for a minute and immediately leaves? When I'm in other folks' groups, does reporting affect my region progress or theirs?
Ugh. I wanna get the Guild Cross layered armor but I HATE being forced to use weapons I dont like. Arena quests having exclusive upgrade materials is such shit.
I've been swapping between Hunting Horn and Hammer regularly and every time I go "Oh my God this is so much better" and then after like a dozen hunts I think "Let me switch back for a bit" and repeat the process. It's nice to have them both in my rotation for variety's sake.
Any Hammer recommendations? Just finished making Velkana, Brachy, and Rathalos. Want to make Zinogre's for the Thunder coverage and Vaal Hazak for the aesthetic. Currently working towards Acidic Glavenus hammer for raw damage

I did Greatest Jagras for the first time today and got not only my first crit boost deco but the second one too. Nice, I might prefer it to the tickets even.
reporting impacts your level even if you are in someone else's session. If you want to jump in and help someone but don't want your levels to be impacted you can freeze yours temporarily.
I didn't realize people had issues with them. I run a fire bow and, like Velkhana*, both of Namielle's wings are connected for wounding. So all I got to do is two weapon attack clutch claws every 90 seconds on either of their wings to make like 80% of their body weakened. Pair that with Namielle's having so many attacks that are perfectly safe to ride out on the wings, it's trivial to keep that uptime rolling.
*Velkhana's marginally harder, just because they require you to break their wings the first time before you can even get crit bonuses off wounded wing shots, but thats usually remedied through like 15 blast coated arrows anyway.
if I have pretty much no good gems and I'm looking for stuff like weakness exploit and crit boost, should I just be doing the Greatest Jagras quest?
If so, is there anything special to it other than just fighting it and picking up the drops? Any way to make the drops better quality?

The lavasioth event has better gems but was more annoying.
Apparently farming grinding lands for ore is the way to go, dragonvein coal chunks and steamworks for tickets.

I got a weakness exploit from a steel ticket from the steamwork too and you get dozens of them
That or just get a good mining route and use Steamworks.
It makes a distinctive noise when it takes off for the nova. More than enough time to sheathe and superman in most scenarios.
You only really need Kurogane (II) until you can get Acid Glav imo. Element on Hammer is never really worth it.
They are under the Safi weapons I think. Still solid weapons, especially for PC users.
The amount of good decos you can get from steamworks with silver / gold tickets is wild.
Last night my haul included:
3 Attack
3 Handicraft
3 Focus
2 Critical Boost
and a ton of other good stuff.
I have a full set of just about every pre-IB deco at this point. It's not a reliable way to get 4* decos, but if you had any gaps left from vanilla you'll fill them incredibly quickly if you've been farming GL even a little bit.

I feel the same way. I did the AT Kushala quest and was lucky enough to get two Kushala tickets on my first try, but then I saw I needed five arena coins! Really took the wind out of my sails.
But the Guild Cross armour does look really cool though...
wow, I should've been using AED in my Savage Axe rotation this whole time. was mostly using normal attacks and elemental discharge. these are...some big numbers, especially considering how easy they are to put out and how low the opportunity cost of using AED is
She does a call and flies straight up. Just need to be mobile enough to leg it out of the area.
Yeah, Namielle will do a distinct animation where it goes on its hind legs, then flies up a little off the ground in order to slam down and light up the area with electricity. When it's up in the air, I do the superman dive as the invincibility window is large enough that you'll avoid all damage. It's more consistent for me than trying to get out of damage range.
I play with the sound off because I usually listen to podcasts or tv...
Thanks Capcpom :|
So do I. The sound is at the same time as the huge wind up fly animation, you aren't missing out on some huge tell. You can tell it's about to happen if she's been at Max fire aura for a good minute or so. Have some battle awareness and don't commit to any huge animation commitments when the time is near.
I'm two for two on Duffel Duty so the armour definitely works. You're just having a run of bad luck.
when I ran it this morning I got one vip ticket per trip. I suppose they could have pushed a change with the daily update this afternoon.
yanno, i think part of why i haven't been AEDing much is that it's for some reason the only input in this game that i sometimes whiff on. it feels like sometimes it just...doesn't go through and I SAED instead, it's odd. i'm sure it's a timing thing. REALLY devastating to accidentally AED instead of SAED on savage axe, though
I have hard botanist+! This seems much better than the koalas and penguins quests for farming VIP tickets.
this is exactly what it feels like to play MH. amazing.
I like all of your work but your MHW gifs are probably my favorite.
The player kind of reminds me of Edelgard in this one lol. Makes me wish a MHW X FE collab could happen.
some1 posted this on the mh discord
i click and made my own copy to track what im missing. primary doing the quest for weaps and layer armor only. dont care about the low/high rank armor gears no more
friend got a string of badluck too. only got 2 ticket then like 7 straight frostbite quest 0
Awesome thanks. I kind of want to do the old stuff I missed even though I'm in MR now but its just so much I know I might burn out on it. I'm just starting Iceborne too so trying to get through that as well and just had all this festival stuff come out of nowhere.
Man, I think I need to look into changing from the Charge Blade or doing something different. I've beaten Glavenus, narca and barioth but both Narca and Barioth have felt like i barely squeezed by and won by luck. I feel like the damage is way too high and I'm not good enough at either guard pointing or dodging. Tigrex seems the same way.
As a Charge Blade main i'd say hang in there if this is your first encounter with those namely narca and barioth be patient and Savage Axe mode is your friend not sure which CB you're running but their quite easy with alot of tells for alot of Charge Blade abuse make sure you're clutching them and their front legs to make them immobile and keep wailing on them till they run out of stamina for lots of openings
