Most of the final charm upgrades are materials from the
Guiding Lands
They're the MR equivalent of gems, so as rare as those used to be. I wouldn't even bother trying to farm for them without at least a gold box investigation.
There are more 3 Star optional than any other rank. Like 3 whole pages of quests.
I think that's a misconception because people expect those ports to have blue plastic (the standard's recommendation) instead of black but Wikipedia specs says original and slim are 3.0 and Pro 3.1
Stellar. Haven't seen him yet so will look harder. Unless he doesn't turn up until later.
Yeah, that's gonna take a while lol. I can't deal with no "Complete" stamp.
wasnt mp scaling was basically either on or off. ie, 2ppl still gets the same mp scaling as for 4ppl. thus 2ppl coop is harder than 3 or 4?
tho theres palico
it was something like that in early mhw beta or something. not sure how mp scaling goes now
I want to fking shoot myself farming this god forsaken Shara Ishvalda.
Fight takes forever even with a good team and you have to break the head (which is annoying to hit) for the tender plates but they're not even guaranteed, i've gotten more gems than tenderplates thus far which is exactly 2.

what i find odd was that they made u fight barioth first then narga and tigrex. i totally find barioth is the tougher ver of those 3. its like they set you up for a hurdle then its just flat grounds after lol
but then again, ib playthrough i havent used a hammer at all. if i do use it, its probably be easy mode with how impact dmg exhaust monster quick.
Are you saying you have 2 gems? I guess you've only broken the head once?
I also found Bariot the harder of the bunch but from what I read people tend to have the most problems with Tigrex.
im kinda like to wait for opening before i atk. and when it comes to those moment, tigrex has better opening and it actually exhaust itself way quicker than barioth. barioth just got too much energy and doesnt stop moving lol
And I'm thankful for that. Before, joining an open quest with one player just made it a lot longer if no third or fourth hunters joined. It kind of felt bad and made you reluctant to join an ongoing open quest.
The consequence was people on full public sessions limiting quests to a single player (why be in a public session at that point?) and I remember being booted from a quest as soon as I joined even if my equipment was more than enough, probably because that person forgot to limit the number of hunters to one. Joke's on them because kicking me didn't lower the increased difficulty and the player had no way of knowing if I'd be the kind of random to ruin his hunt by carting thrice.
The only way you do no damage with LS is if you never hit the monster lol. Iai slash and Iai spirit slash are actually really good for decreasing recovery time not really sure what you're talking about there. Example being usually after the spirit slash combo you're character gets does that resheathe animation that leaves you exposed, you can hit R2+X (iai stance) to immediately cancel that nonsense.
Then you can immediately hit triangle to do a iai slash that fills your meter. I tell most people don't bother with spirit slash because it's better used as a counter than as an offensive move (using it as a counter it does slightly more damage and it doesn't consume your spirit gauge)
LS like pretty much every other melee weapon in the game shines if the player take the time to figure out how it works past spamming triangle or circle and hoping for the best, it's toolkit is pretty accessible if you're willing to learn.
Sometimes I wonder what caused the localization team of MH to give two monsters who look nothing alike and who were introduced on the same game basically the same name save for one letter.
The wingdrakes that lounge on the map should have been a simpler version of this from the start. Hop on one, get to the location the monster has fled to. Their fixed itinerary is mostly useless.
Scaling is supposed to be changed, so 2-player has less health than 4-player. But I can't find out what the scaling factors are. I think that the more players there are the faster the hunt will be.
SOS is definitely your friend for ticking off the optional quests. I think 4-player hunts are still 2.2x or 2.4x the monster health, with 4 players they go down much faster. I usually check the SOS board for any "speech-bubble" quests, then check the investigations for any monster parts I want, then return to optionals for any I haven't completed.
I generally don't SOS into assignments, since the rewards are poor, you are likely to be with a player who doesn't know the fight and frankly - players should be able to beat the assignments by themselves. If they can't handle a main quest, then carrying them will just mean they get the next level of quests that are even harder for them to complete. Though I'll help people with an assignment if they're on voice chat where I can actually help and advise, rather than just carrying them.
They should still try to rework them for the next MH. They work even if you have aggro and need no friendship levels, you cannot consume items or sharpen but they would allow for faster verticality when a wyvern flies to an area just above or just below. Just like that they become useful for certain situations where the tailraiders seem cumbersome.
As far as i know just breaking the head is the requirement for a chance to get a gem like with all the other monsters.
And yes, i get atleast 1 head break per fight and am aware you can get 2 but it's proving diffcult to break more than once even while im using hammer + partbreaker
Is there another round of arena quests that are opened by capturing a monster? In the base game it was really frustrating not knowing which monsters I'd fought in an arena since the quests fall off the list if you haven't caught one since beating it. Going through on PC I opted to just not do the arena quests until I'd caught one of everything.
The ones you can get right now are what you get from Kulve, the AT elder dragons available right now and the glasses that are available in MR (I don't remember what gives the materials for glasses because I could craft them right away).
There's also the Hot Springs layered that you can get from an optional quest (the one that has you delivering two hot springs stones).
For the AT elder dragon ones, do I simply hunt them or is there a specific quest?
They are even quests. The ones where the dragons appear as an orange glowing icon. If you haven't done them, they are among the hardest HR content. Tackling them with MR equipment will lower their difficulty.
I did that quest but I don't see it in my Layered list. Is it LR/HR? I checked MR.
Great, thank you. I'll probably try and give AT Vaal Hazak a go and see if I can get its layered armor.
The AT quest gives tickets for the Vaal Hazak gamma armor but the layered armor you get with those tickets is Death Stench IIRC. Not sure if that's what you are looking for. :P
I haven't done that yet because, even though I've found the last camp, I haven't delivered the Azure Rathalos wing I need for it to be set up and delivering stuff to needlessly distant camps is a chore.
If you do the second break, a piece falls off whoch you can carve teice. The ONLY things you can carve from it are gems and tenderplates.
Not that I'm aware of. As long as you've done the quest and have the tickets you get as a reward, you should be good to go.
OHHHH, I need to forge them I guess. I'll check tonight.
