For HH The bone set and bone or metal HH are good to start with.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne |OT| Looking for love in Alatreon places

When you say "the safi gun" I assume you mean a Sticky 3 Aquashot build but the other Safi LBG's are, for the most part, top class for each ammo type. Bowgunning is usually about picking a single ammo type you want to specialize in and building a set around that.
Sticky 3: Aquashot
Spread 3: Drakshot or Blackwing Bowgun II
Spread 2: Frostshot
Pierce 3: Aquashot
Pierce 2: Boltshot
Normal 2: Drakshot
Thunder: Adept Stormslinger (PS4 only) or Boltshot
Fire: Hellshot
Water: Aquashot
Ice: Frostshot

Hope you have plenty of Safi mats hanging around.

Even since my PSP days I've had my female ranged character (I also had a male melee character back then when armors were separate) named Nausicaä. I don't think she would be OK with killing so many monsters but it's clear that the film is an important inspiration to the creators of the game.
Try a spread 3 HBG with shields on her. You just tear her appart with that build. You don't even need to be good with the HBG.
I'll probably be online from 18:30 UTC so anytime is fine for me. I'd like to stop by 22:00 or 23:00 UTC at the latest, I gotta get up early tomorrow. A pause somewhere in the middle for having lunch would be good as well. Yeah, I know we have dinner incredibly late in the Mediterranean coast for northern European standards. XD
If anyone in the thread wants to join today's Kulve to get your layered armor, you are more than welcome to do so. Even more so if we take into the account that there's only three of us confirmed so far. :P
19:30 UTC should be fine for me :)
Is there anything I need to know for AT Kulve? I just assume that using Partbreaker will be useful just as with Safi
My Spanish colleagues always complain about German dinner time (usually between 6 and 7 local time), so I understand :P
The few times I've done it I haven't noticed anything particularly different other than the rage phase in the end where there's increased lethal lava puke and it feels more aggressive. I cannot even tell if it has a greater health pool.
Breaker I think is definitely important but never having farmed Kulve further than to get its armor I'm far from being knowledgeable for the fight other than elemental weaknesses.
On PC, so no Safi for me. Need some good LBGs for Sticky 3, Spread 3 and Pierce 3. What say you?
guys quick question. I already have Mon Hun for PS4 but with my Plus expiring soon...I was wondering how good population wise is it on PC? Is it still active? I just looked at that Steam Sale and I'm very VERY tempted to double dip.
It's been such a long time since I fought Kulve. I wonder if I can stick with Safi's blast hammer for the entire fight, or if I should switch to Velkhana's ice hammer for the last phase just for that little bit more potential DPS.
I should also remember to slot in two Heavy Artillery (cannon damage) decos and maybe wear the HR Kulu arms in the 1st phase.
So yeah.
Dinner break tonight works out for me as well because I can walk my dog then.

Just another reason for me to move to the Mediterranean. People here always look at me funny when I tell them I eat around 19:00 local time. Here in the Netherlands it's 17:00 or bust, and maybe 17:30 if you're feeling rowdy.
So yeah.

We might as well look for a dedicated Kulve sessions first. If it doesn't work out we could always go back to the squad session.
Kulve has several attacks that can one shot you back to camp. I'm kinda glad I got no more reason to do it anymore. Safi is enough of a headache at times.
EDIT
Partbreaker and stun

Søren has been joining the Era session quite regularly these days. I don't know if they would be interested in the siege. I'm not even sure who that is here because I haven't been able to easily match a username, either via hunter name or PSN.
It's not unusual for me to have dinner at 23:00 local. The good/bad things about living alone.
We might still be online by 22:00 UTC in case 6pm is more feasible for you.
Maybe RNGesus won't bless us and we'll be still praying for a drop we are missing. The weapon rewards are a non-factor nowadays.
It's still quite active. Always find SOSes in moments. Well, in Iceborne anyway. Haven't played the old stuff much since that came out. It has consistently been among the (top) most played games on Steam since release. Right now, there are over 150,000 playing:
10000 Volts for Sticky, Blackwing Bowgun II for Spread and Pierce. You're going to have to settle for Rapid Fire Pierce 2 instead of 3 however. Also Evade Reload is a must for both bowguns with those respective ammo types.

I was able to find three Kulve rooms with the filter. 11 players, 13 and 14.
I'll go and quickly check them out to see if they're actually active.
Edit: The one with 13 players (14 with me) seems alright. One group of 4 at siege level 4 and another "group" of 1 by themselves.
Code is:
Edit2: looks like the group at siege level 4 were the stragglers, since the siege is back at level 1.

A variant is something a regular monster can turn into, like a savage deviljho is a deviljho that came close to starving and is even hungrier and madder than ever, while a subspecies is some kind of evolutionary divergence from the regular family of monster. Like coral pukei isn't a pukei that drank too much water, it's a polar bear to pukei's brown bear.
If more people from ERA want to join later, we can always go back to the squad session then. For now this looks like our best bet to get the quickest results.
Edit: shit, session is full. Hopefully someone quickly leaves.

In gameplay terms is there any difference? I assume monsters can't turn into variants mid mission?
When one of the players' statuses changes from 'Astera' to 'Responding to SOS' in a Kulve hub.
Not really, no. Generally variants are the same as old monsters just with new moves while subspecies often have a different element, but I don't think there's any hard rules for it. They could make up an ice rathalos and explain it as either a rathalos that ate a bunch of snow cones or as a northern cousin of the rathalos, ultimately it would do the same thing when you fight it.
How many nuggets do you need for one Kulve set? I got 3 from this siege, but I don't have the endgame tickets yet so the armor doesn't appear in my list.
Alright, almost got one set then.
Do go guys want to do another run right now? I'll quickly get something to drink, so feel free to start a siege in the meantime.
I think the session is dying tbh :P but can go for another run yes
Been helping HR with Behemoth and people are still really bad in this fight, even with MR gear.
Garuga for Sticky and Spread works well.
Damn, only 1 nugget this time.
How about you guys? One more time or should we call it quits? I'm fine either way. These sieges are always so super draining.

If we do another one we should all have at least one full set, unless xEik has been severely unlucky.
Man, I played the living shit out of this game at the weekend. We had Storm Dennis here and I has stuck indoors so I just ate, slept and played this. Really impressed this game can still pull me in like that after so many hours. Capcom hit the nail on the head with this game.
Mainly I was just doing endless battle in the Grinding Lands but I think I need to be more targeted. If wanted a boatload of Smoldering Tailedge how would I go about it?
It seems this comes from glavenuses but I never see this creature at all.

Ah okay.
Cool!
Anyone on PC here looking to link up to farm TGL sometime? I'm usually on in the evenings (Pacific Time). Would love to hunt with some of you and share some lures, as well as level up some regions. I'm trying to get Coral and Volcano to level 6 (currently my cap, I need to get up to MR100 to unlock 7).
I was thinking of doing two quests at the same time, but then everybody left the Korean player's quest and joined mine, haha. Including the Korean player, haha.
Felt bad for that one guy, but we had a good group.
Lure them (you might have some from your GL grinding) or meld the parts from other GL mats.
All good and well, those nuggets, but without the tickets, which I assume you get from endgame quests, I can't craft that layered armor.
Hopefully I already have one of those optionals unlocked...
