Not to mention the slinger shot burst you can do can be done in any direction after several of the swings, allowing you to easily re-aim if the monster moves around a bunch. The GS has never been more mobile, and it's awesome.
The monsters don't seem any more difficult to me. They can be Tempered when you level up the region they spawn in (with a few exceptions like poor Great Jagras that can never be tempered).
Thank you, and fighting them, even without killing them, does that also increase my Mr and location level?
You get a small increase to your location level for collecting tracks, and more increases for trapping monsters and breaking their parts. But the biggest increase is from killing them. I'm not saying you should just run around hitting monsters for loot and never killing them, just that you can easily farm their GL loot because it drops like candy all the time.
Okay, hoping it doesn't take too long
Don't forget about endgame charm upgrades. Some of those top-tier charms need GL tempered elder parts, like Handicraft IV and Challenger IV.
It would make sense for the early game monsters to be buffed in GL, so they aren't just tedious cannon fodder. I haven't noticed it myself but I tend to ignore them when they spawn in GL. I did kill some Kulus today to level my wastes. Kulu still seemed like a wimp.
It has Dragon (and Elderseal), but it's locked so you need the Free Element/Ammo Up skill.
Yes but I'd recommend using an Elementless Jewel decoration to boost the raw damage instead of Free Element. It's a 10% damage increase.
You can get it from armor, a charm or decorations. Free Ammo jewels are quite rare, though (unless you already have 3). I think you're better of going for the charm if you really want to unlock the element.
Whaaaaaat!
It's still 5% for a single level 2 deco, which is a fantastic deal, but elementless weapons are way less likely to be meta now.
Thank you, I did that!!
You can only use materials from OG monster Hunter world not ice-born stuff to meld stuff. Which is kind of a problem cuz I am running out of high rank stuff.
What do u mean i use like elder spirit bones from iceborne to meld everything
Do you use the farm, and keep all the fertiliser buffs up? If I ever find myself low on anything, I set the farm to work and soon have plenty.
Weapon collecting means I have so many useless bone materials that I will get bored of the game before I get into this situation.
I've never used it, I don't play any weapons where it'd be that useful. Is it considered essential for some builds, or is it like mega-drugs where it's just a nice bonus?
Yes you need Spiritstones for armor but only once. So for Elder armors you need Great Spiritstones and those are gotten from Tempered Elder Dragons in Guiding Lands.
You need the best streamstones for T12 gear, and you can only augment gear once to raise the upgrade limit. But you can augment any gear and raise the armor considerably.
I do that but the farming system is tedious and a holdover from the old games. Just let me buy all that shit.
You have to invest on a friend with Wide-Range 5 and Mushroomancer 3. :P
The Coral Orchestra also has a song that grants stamina usage reduction, though it's RNG dependant. Sometimes my palico uses it right away, after the attack and defense boosts, but often it just keeps giving me effects I don't really need.
I agree.
That extra 20 attack/defense is pretty inconsequential in Iceborne. Leave the Kelbis in peace.
