Good stuff, but man I hope the future monsters are all regular fights. I just like whackin shit.
Kulve never drops me usable weapons so I don't even bother anymore.
Pretty much. 7 and 8 are really the only worthwhile ones.

Keep an eye out for a R6 Gun Lance with level 4 long shelling if you play that weapon.
Kulve came out a little bit too late for me. It's the same problem with Jho and other future new DLC monsters. Like what is the point of me Kulve, or Jho? Like the base game was so easy that the new gear only shaves off like what 30 seconds from a kill time?
I appreciate what they were going for with the Kulve weapons at least because the normal elemental offerings are so terrible so at least there's some new effective builds to be made. I'm with you on Jho though, I got nothing out of that.Kulve came out a little bit too late for me. It's the same problem with Jho and other future new DLC monsters.

3 excuses in two sentences, amazing. just go to the gathering hall and run it lolI finished the main game too late to do the Kulve event, but I'm playing it as a single player game so decided not to check it out. Not sure I'll keep at it anyways, except maybe to knock around with my kids.
Finally got my 4th Gem after almost a week of grinding the damn giant golden goat! And not a moment too soon since I almost have filled out all 1000 of my equipment storage! I am on track again to making all weapons, armors, and charms in this game! :D
Also I'm not counting the golden weapons as apart of that.
You still got three full days to do the Kulve event. With a little luck, you could gather at least the 2 gems needed for one full armor set. Plus a nice collection of relic weapons.I finished the main game too late to do the Kulve event, but I'm playing it as a single player game so decided not to check it out.

Definitely want to use Thn Attack +5 and also look into working in Critical element (Rathalos 2 piece bonus). Only consider the 2nd part if you can stack crit high enough, otherwise just general damage skills work well.
How high is your reward level when you break the horns in one hunt?
I have had some hunts where we managed to chip the horns at pursuit level 1, but that was in the fourth area and at that point you still have a long way to go before you're able to break them. I'm honestly surprised it's even possible in the first place without a coordinated effort and highly aggressive builds.
Is there a reason to stack maximum elemental deco? Does it push beyond the cap it shows?
Perhaps I'm over thinking this, but to me this implies that the second siege might be different from the first.

From what I've read, the cap on elemental damage is a percentage of the base damage on the weapon. Because the 600 is so high, you can use all 5 levels and not hit the cap.
For this weapon I've confirmed it myself. Level 4 gets you to 730 attack ( i think) and level 5 gets you to 760 (10 percent plus 100).
25 hours of gameplay later...Thinking of picking up Monster hunter on this recent sale on PS4. How much fun is it playing the game completely solo? And does anyone have any spoiler free reviews or introductions or whatever, that kinda shows off what the game is all about?
In your hunter notes you'll find general information on which elements are useful against each large monster (once you've researched it enough) as well as how effective the type (blunt/severing/ranged I think) of weapon is in breaking the various parts.25 hours of gameplay later...
So yeah, it's been pretty fun. The gear situation is a little overwhelming at times though, at the point where I'm at. I feel like certain monster don't necessarily go down faster the "better" my gear becomes, like the Anjanath. Am I supposed to be learning other weapon types? Like, it's not entirely clear if certain weapon types are better against certain monster, except for maybe the Paolumu, for which ranged weapons seem way more suited.
So, quick question for likely the ill informed, as I only really use the Charge Blade and very little else, as I decided to lock this specific character to the use of only that weapon for thematics purposes. ( Yes, I'm weird. I know. )
I have lots of Rarity 7, and 6 weapons from the Kulve Taroth hunts. Should I sell anything that is generally not rarity 8? Or should I hold onto the rarity 7 items?
Ah - good to know the cap - cheers!Capped to 1/3. If you had 300 elem, the most you'll get is 100, so Thunder Attack 3 is all you need.
With 600 elem though, you can get up to 200. TA3 gives 100, TA5 gives 160.
The best CB is rare 7. It's basically just the Diablos one with an added defense stat. There are some other good rare 7s like spread HBG (if you even want to try another weapon).So, quick question for likely the ill informed, as I only really use the Charge Blade and very little else, as I decided to lock this specific character to the use of only that weapon for thematics purposes.

MHW is the perfect loot game, but it wouldn't have been GOTY unless it was released in the launch year window.
Streamstone drop rates still aren't where they should be.Got really excited when an IG warrior's streamstone dropped last night.
Got really sad when I found out I need an IG hero's streamstone to augment Catastrophe's Light.
Low mobility weapon users:
How do you get out of Kulve's flame pool?
One of the nice things about Kulve Taroth's siege is the fact that I can try weapons I've never tried before. I joined a siege last night using a golden sleep lance and it seemed okay up until Kulve spit fire on the ground. I carted twice to this attack and we ultimately ended up failing the mission (although another group completed the siege). I've only ever used Lance in the Arena where it is mandated. As an IG user who typically just pole vaults out of the lava, how do you survive this attack?
I was using a full set of Kulve Alpha armor if that matters.
Lance and Gunlance can completely block the molten pool by having the Guard Up skill. This can either come from a decoration or from wearing three pieces of Uragaan armor.Low mobility weapon users:

If you invest in Guard (I personally tend to use the Uragaan alpha greaves and slot in one Guard deco for a total of 3 levels) you don't even have to worry about stamina running out.It can matter, if you wear armor that gives you Guard Up (Uragaan) or have the decoration for it you can block the lava pool as long as you keep moving so your stamina regens.
As much as I dig the game I think it's pretty bad as a loot game in the post game. Compared to games like Diablo and Warframe the loot aspect is pretty undercooked. Doing investigations for the same crappy decos the game has been dishing out since the beginning is deeply unrewarding. Even the pleasure of getting a hero stone after the first one is lost since you can only use one of them on the weapon. I'm still doing tempered investigations because the gameplay is just so much fun but getting the same crappy decos again and again is rough :(.
Needs more stuff like the siege for sure.
Fireproof mantle is basically necessary for KT as far as I'm concerned. It's so easy to get caught in an animation and eat shit from the magma breath given the range and Fireproof just mitigates so much of that.Use Fireproof mantle and just sheath your weapon to run away. Never try to tank it. His animation for the attack is pretty noticeable.
