Monster Hunter: World |OT3| Generations Ahead
- Thread starter centracore
- Start date
I've been working on incorporating that. The main issue has been developing the patience for that added level of precision as opposed to the usual habit of rolling (or otherwise fade slashing) out of the way while attacking instead. Taking a big hit by being just slightly off when adapting to the timing of a large monster's attack patterns in trying to stay on the offensive when I've been getting better results just guarding hits for small amounts of chip damage w/Gunlance has factored into that. Then there's the fact that Charge Blade does have a means of triggering guard point from a neutral position, but I've preferred the more straightforward nature of Long Sword.
Won't give up on it, but I have been second-guessing it in some ways lately.

Haven't played in like 6 months.
Me on Thursday: "Let's boot up MonHun and see what's what"
From Thursday to today I've put in over 31hrs *facepalm*

Haven't played in a good six months. Anyone know if there have been events with a large gold crown B Diablos or L gold crown Kirin? Only crowns I need since the Devil Pickle launch. Grinded for 60 hours with no success but it's bugging me.
Nope, neither of those had events. I had success with non event crowns with save scumming on investigations with at least a silver and gold reward box and some restrictive conditions. Other than that, it's all rng.
Which skill is best to have or stack.....Weakness Exploit, Critical Eye, or Critical Boost? Or which of these 3 skills are best in order from worst to best? I'm asking cause I have all 3 in my build but if one is better/more useful than the rest then I could use the remaining gem slots to put in some other skills I want
Weakness Exploit is not only one of the best skills in the game, it's also one of the easiest to get. Basically every build should have this maxed out unless the monster doesn't have weakpoints that you can abuse.
Crit Boost is great, but only if you already have a lot of affinity, so don't prioritize it over Weakness Exploit.
And instead of Critical Eye, I'd recommend Maximum Might. You get 30% affinity for 3 points instead of 7 and most of the weapons don't need stamina when attacking.
Thanks for this. I can imagine there isn't many monsters that DONT have waypoints? I think Zorah being one due to the way you fight him?
It depends.
Lavasioth has weakpoints only on the heated parts of the armor. Once you break the armor, that part isn't a weakpoint anymore. Lunastra's weakpoint for bladed weapons is her wings, which can be really hard to hit without Insect Glaive. And for shot-type weapons, the only part of Kulve Taroth that triggers WE is her horns.
I tried that for 60 odd hours, tried fighting, tried measuring compared with me or barrel bombs etc. Killed over 100 Kirins and nothing. It was pretty soul draining at that point.
Another anniversary, another set of trying to get the Extreme Behemoth win.
At least I have a fairly complete Dark Devourer set this time around.

So the Lavisioth event replacing jagras is probably going to be another Decorations Pinata, except you have to fight the worst monster in the game, right?
The quest description reads as so:
http://game.capcom.com/world/steam/us/schedule.html
So it sounds like it will be similar to the Jagras one.
Thought this was known or was it debunked? Saw it on Reddit a few days ago.
No, it's real.
Juuuuuust one more Jaggras run....for Challenger jewel.... so sleepy.... need to get up for work tomorrow.... but maybe the next run!!!!
We'll see if Lavasioth can be downed quick for jewels too. On top of that, curious if we are actually getting the Witcher event tomorrow. 6 weeks ago it was slated for 2/8, but we've gotten nothing else on it amd it's not listed in the events page. We shall see....
Just learned about the greatest jagras event, and it's ending so soon. Didn't even get to farm it, stopped playing the game cause of decorations farming getting boring. And the one event that helps with it is pretty much over.
Why didn't anyone make a thread about it. :[

Lavasioth event starting tomorrow will also produce tons of decos.
What can you craft with the Faux Ticket III?
Most events will return!

So, the Witcher 3 update is supposed to be out pretty soon, right? Like, within a day soon?
Do we know what's in the update other than some special event or two with Geralt? We're absolutely getting him as a layered armor, but do we know anything about weapons, non-layered armor, or (best case scenario) a new monster?

Skull Mask and Kulu Head Layered armor.
I was coming to ask about Geralt also,I was sure it was today...so if Great Jagras is leaving today and a new one (Lavia)tomorrow maybe they will add it at the same time...tried the great Jagras 3 times and didnt kill him...at least you keep the deco,which are mostly crap,but I did get a level 3 something...
OK, yeah, the Monster Hunter twitter account just reconfirmed that Geralt is coming today/tonight.
No details though, which is really weird. We knew basically everything about the FFXIV crossover, so this is a big departure.

Completing the quest also guarantees 2 worn feystones, something people didn't know early so it was common to dine and dash. Fortunately most if not all my SOS runs people stick around now.
Also datamined for lavasioth event..
Guarantees 2 warped feystones for completing, so I'll be running this like crazy for sure
This was a good video running the math on the times for Jaggras. TL/DW: If you can capture Jaggras < 7 minutes, worth it to capture him alongside the 10 "belly' keystones dropped. If not, just stick to puke farming.

We will see what Lavasioth brings in terms of times of runs.
Yep, saw this. I've been averaging somewhere around 10-12 mins with randos grabbing puke stones anyway for melding fodder so not too terrible. I like to pick an SOS out of the list though so if I were leading the quest could probably shave off a few more minutes with better setup.
I've also used this as an opportunity to finally try out Hunting Horn, which I am not great at but dropping Def XL on randos has had a notable improvement on successful runs. I've similarly been experimenting with friendship stones though I don't have a great sense of the range per level.
ugh. about 25+ great jagras kills and the best i got was a pierce jewel. how am i 800 hours in and still no release or mighty jewel in all my temps and AT runs?
Yep,tried it once,kept the default weapons but failed,the last Monster just didn't go down and is kinda annoying at first lol...do you have another skill besides Igni...? I actually made the bubble one around me once but did not really see how I did it lol...and the Jagras are annoying as hell also,they really could of skipped those,just like the little fuckers in the Tulve area,that prevent you from tracking for a while...
You can mount the monster for one thing, which is ridiculous and hilarious but also the stun window is huge for getting in damage. Using Igni also opens up a pretty decent window to get some good hits in.
Also fast travel to one of the camps and get supplies out of the box. There are poison knifes for one thing! And don't miss that you have flash pods.
Small nudge for anyone looking for a hint for the side quests...
-Explore around the botanist stuck in the roots, there is a good amount of things going on in the area
-Keep an eye out for markings on walls
-Keep an eye out for markings on walls
-There are several pukie-pukie stuck in the roots. Most are dead but one is still alive. Use Igni to free it and it will come to your aid later.
-You will find gajalaka marks around, examine one and then go to the researcher in the northern area (should have an exclamation mark on the map), there is a new path to get up to him so look for it. Go to the top of the tree where the rathian/rathalos nest is. Go to the southwest camp. Go to the area in the tree where anjanath usually goes to sleep with all the webbed/net grounding. Head to the bottom of that area with the huge vigorwasp. I believe that is the basic order of things, going off memory from one run.

Only if you keep it alive, which is a huge pain in the ass when you only have 3 lifepowders and it has no sense of self-preservation.
It wasn't too bad for me, although I was worried about killing the help with friendly fire. You get a couple more lifepowders from the supply box.
Nope, just full-set transformations. Can't mix and match the pieces
If it's any consolation though, it's not the worst armor. Obviously it's not optimal, but at least you aren't gimping yourself as much when you use it like when all we had was the Aloy A armor and you wanted to play as her.
I hate Lavasioth with all my passion. It's the closest thing to that fucker plesioth that MHW has.
Today it dropped a Mighty Bow jewel on my first try at "The name is Lavasioth!", after farming the Greatest Jagras for two weeks straight with no success..
I now love Lavasioth. <3

Ha! That's awesome! Randomly, it also dropped a MB jewel for me too when I tried it last night. However, that was my fifth (!!!) one. I, of course, have never used bow ever.
As a person who hasn't used the elder melder for decos much, anything I should be aware of to not shoot myself in the foot? For example, if you have enough decos to max out a skill any reason to keep more beyond the limit? Basically is there any reason to keep more than 7 defense jewels? All I can think is if I feel like being incredibly lazy and not pull them out of certain pieces of armor/weapons but that is like some peak fuck you filthy rich in jewel living. Anything I am missing?
Nope, no point in keeping any deco's over max skill level, but do note that you can (and should!) save scum the melder to see what's coming up.
Lavasioth isn't that bad. I just carry a fire weapon to keep his armour soft for the rest of the team. Runs are anywhere between 6-8mins. Much faster and less annoying than when I was carrying a water weapon.
I could probably do it faster solo, but this is a fight where the company is enjoyed, lol.

So I've never played monster hunter before but was thinking about getting thus one but is it worth getting without ps+?
Is there some stuff that you have to be with friends to complete or van you do it all solo?
