easy things first while I try to find the tutorials I liked: what sort of gear are you running?
#Monster Hunter
stuck needle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_UkIfyJlaM I think this is the main one I used back in the day. Spoilers for gear at the end, but you can stop the video once he starts giving out builds using gear you haven't encountered. (and unlike the first video I checked, he doesn't have final boss footage in the first ten seconds...)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ny-6znb450 this one's also pretty good for a five minute overview
rapid lion
...speaking of weapon monsters, I just remembered my idea for an insect glaive monster. It's a wing-walking winged wyvern (same general body as Tigrex/Nargacuga, though closer to the latter). It secretes a nutrient-rich fluid from its skin, which causes hard-shelled beetles (I'm imagining around palm-sized) to naturally latch on all over its body to eat said fluid and thus form a set of scaled armor (since each beetle looks like a dragon scale with its wings closed).
It's heavy and slow, but if you damage a body part too much it'll temporarily shed its scale beetles on that part, reducing its armor there and creating a cloud of little sharp-shelled beetles which follows you around and tries to attack you until the wyvern calls them back. It can also shed all its scale beetles at once to become faster and more aggressive, with stuff like a leaping move actually making it glide fowards some distance before the attack lands. It can and will call back the scale beetles later.

rapid lion
there's also a Caustic variant, which drips acid while unarmored. Its swarms of scale beetles dive-bomb at you once they get near you and leave behind an acid puddle instead of just being a swarm that follows you around persistently, but will also drop their puddle if you stun them by hitting them enough, or probably a flashbang/screamer would work. (Thought I hit send on this)

Oh I remember talking about this with you!
Fun idea, I still dig it
rapid lion
yeah, I thought I'd share it again.
stuck needle
Barclay was joking about konsu the other day, which reminded me of your idea! apparently they'd latch onto other monsters and make temporary armor? so that's some fun precedence for your design, plus maybe another potential variant.
rapid lion
I will have to check that out!
brave hazel
...hmm
Which of these ramp-ups should I go for?
Besides Affinity Boost, 4% affinity is barely anything, let alone on a weapon that already has fucking 30% at base
It's either hit harder or guard points no longer drain sharpness
...y'know, saying that makes me realize Defense Grinder is the superior pick here
Guess I answered my own question
mystic cape
That's fair
Though I will just mention that until you get to MR numbers usually your damage increases are better spent on raw increases for non-elemental weapons since it's not until you get to MR numbers that the crit multiplier really starts outpacing the Attack Up boosts
brave hazel
Aye, but losing less sharpness overall is a huge benefit
Especially when it's not losing sharpness to guard pointing, one of CB's primary mechanics
mystic cape
Oh yeah of course I'm not saying you shouldn't go for it I'm just saying for like future reference
brave hazel
Hmm
Debating if I wanna go for Great Wroggi armor for HR or Tetradon
On one hand, Wroggi benefits my rapidfire LBG playstyle more, but on the other, Tetradon is extremely fucking cool looking

@hollow comet we're thinking of grabbing rise on PC. about where are you HR-wise?

yeah i'm pretty new to rise (and the series in general)

MHGU IG is weird
You gotta feed your kinsect different materials that you farm
And that's what levels it and what you feed determines it's stats
crude kayak
You don't just level it from a tree. You go - here little buddy, 10 speed jellies for this level because all I want is speed
And then you do tier level up when it ate enough
"You don't just level it from a tree."
Well you do actually, but in between you also feed em so two kinsects that just got to same place in the tree can have different stats based on what they were fed.

I haven't really seen much GL stuff from wilds (and can't atm), is it any more mobile than it used to be?

Well you do actually, but in between you ...
Not gonna lie this was a very interesting way to touch up on Kinsect leveling.
crude kayak
Ah right, there were also stat targets to meet if you want to level Kinsect into certain types. And you could make better jellies to feed em, and you could only feed em X amount of times before level. So I think feeding them higher quality stuff mattered?

Basically you can get unidentified talismans on mission, and they get revealed at the end

Part of it is the structure of the games means that offensive skills are often defensive skills.

Unlocked the Diving Wyvern switch skill
Holy SHIT this thing is awesome
I figured it'd be too slow to be useful but you fucking ROCKET downwards
hollow comet
utsushi hasn’t said anything about more switch skills other than the HR quests, should I just craft 8 LS to make him give me the drawn double slash or whatever
can’t find a clear answer online
other than this
brave hazel
I suppose so, yeah
...god
Rise really did just completely fucking butcher HBG
This shit feels terrible
They butchered bowguns in general tbh, with that horrible excuse of a modding system
Used to be you could straight up swap out barrels, receivers, and stocks, now you get all of two options and you can only pick one
crude kayak
In world HBG was also basically the highest damage weapon.

I think MHGU (also by the portable team) had roughly the same bowgun mod options, I'll need to double check.
halcyon fractal
yeah GU had the same Long Barrel and Suppressor/Shield combo
😔 which sucks, if the receivers and stocks were there
wait you could this in Tri?
weak gulch
Tri went really experimental, parts used decided what type of bowgun you had (Light/Medium/Heavy).
halcyon fractal
ahh interesting
🤔 i can see why they abandoned it
but godddd that'd be so cool
especially in a game like Wilds, with all of the gizmos you can attach to bowguns
desert light
but godddd that'd be so cool
In practice it wasnt, it just meant there was a much moire narrow spaceo f what was actually good

Are you looking to install a specific mod or list of mods? Because it's not the same process for all of them. A lot of mods with bad instructions are asking you to replace specific files, that's common for graphical replacements. More in depth mods (mechanical changes) look like they're favoring the Fluffy Mod Loader.

Damascus was already my favorite set, this just makes it somehow even better
Need to mess around with the Ingot set after class, I remember really liking that one too

You HAVE TO install REFramework for this to work!
Get the newest build from here: https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterrise/mods/26
Installation: Extract the Archive into "Monster Hunter Rise\reframework\plugins"

Though I'm unsure how they'd be meaningfully different from an LBG
Even more mobile and quick shooting maybe
brave hazel
On the topic of bowguns. Y'all know any light bowguns that look more like proper guns in Rise?

Sell monster bits you don't need
If you need cash. You can make a ton by knocking out easy quests or quests in general
Unless it's like a mantle or gem, you never really need to hold onto more than 10~30 of a part

Doing easy quests and selling all the rewards is an easy way to make money yeah
hollow comet
they can also be used to test out new weapons or switch skills in a low stakes environment :3
i'll do that
brave hazel
Is the Wyvern Exploit ramp up skill any good?
Increased damage against like, 90% of all monsters in the game seems good, but it is only 5%
desert light
I think it's generally considered solid, yeahj, but like, you're olky high rank
so who cares, keep going for master rank stuff
stuck needle
it's all contextual. not really good enough to make you beeline for a weapon, but it's usually obvious when it's the best (or at least a reasonable) choice for a given weapon.
like, if your options are "wyvern exploit" and "small monster exploit" it's pretty clearly better.
mystic cape
The Exploit skill becomes a bit higher value in MR when you can slot rampage skills into more weapons

Need to beat up a Kushala and a Teostra to upgrade my Hand Me Down Sword, are they particularly difficult or are they roundabouts the same difficulty as World?

They're elder dragons, so go in ready for a real fight

I don't remember them as being particularly bad (with preparation) but I might've been overgeared
candid perch
Kushala and Teostra actually feel quite a bit weaker in Rise than they were in World for me
Chameleos is a goated fight though

Chameleo also has the best theme of the three

Chameleos has one of the best themes period

Speaking of scythes, I've found the kushala daora switch axe and now I yearn for one, because holy SHIT that is incredibly cool

You've seen how crits work in Warframe

Five fucktillion damage red crit and he's gone

brave hazel
Does feel vaguely off somehow
candid perch
Something hella clicked with greatsword though once I figured out tackle timings
Pretty sure I'm a GS main now...
brave hazel
I think it's the fact that it has a slower and more defensive playstyle, where Rise is a lot more fast paced and offense focused
Why HBG just kinda fucking sucks in my experience
Why lug around this clunky piece of shit when I can just grab a rifle and zoom around like I'm playing Ultrakill?
Side note, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy are there no revolver-themed bowguns in Rise
There's a revolver BOW but not an actual gun

Bahamut in xiv is gigantic
The Primal bahamut was imprisoned inside a Celestial body
That was visible in orbit
The mortal bahamut would probably be smaller than xenojiva or geismagorm
But bigger than the other 5gen elders

Does Tune Up do much at all?
I did see that it gives a boost to HBG's Power Barrel at level 2, but is it a meaningful boost or just very piddly?

Looks like it depends on what mod you're running? https://game8.co/games/Monster-Hunter-Rise/archives/381752

Yeah it increases range by like an inch and bumps damage by a handful of points, this shit fucking sucks
Except for Shield HBG, makes it actually usable again

Trying to make an HBG build
It's... surprisingly EXTREMELY fun, I genuinely wasn't expecting Normal 3 HBG gameplay to be this thrilling
I was expecting it to be just "Plink, plink, plink, plink" but nah, this is INVOLVED
stuck needle
Oh? Say more.
brave hazel
Like, it's still kinda just "Plink, plink, plink" but you have TECH
You can tackle and wirebug dash and fucking full auto rapidfire with one of the switch skills
AND
You get this extremely cool move where you hunker down and facetank literally anything, and depending on what switch skill you have you either 1. Charge up a countershot that takes way too long, or 2. Charge up your gun and now you can charge shots faster and the cooldown for the full-auto fire is reduced
I mean the tackle isn't great though
Still builds up stun for... some reason
Which is stupid
There's been a lot of instances where I tackle an attack and all of a sudden I get stunned
stuck needle
Nice. Maybe I should try out bowgun again in MR whenever I get time to load up Iceborne
brave hazel
Spread HBG in Iceborne is one of my go-tos
It's not as interactive as Rise but godDAMN is it fun being an ultratank lugging around a flak cannon
I use Safi's Burstcannon with Spread 3, a bunch of damage up enhancements, a recoil down one, three or four shields, and Close Attack Up, and it fucking SHREDS through monsters
Even if they're really heavily armored
And I run a bunch of guard boosting skills too so I can tank a whole lotta shit

it's absolutely a different kind of experience than the 5th gen games, but it's one i love deeply

I'll definitely give it a try someday
world looks amazing visually, I'm going to go back sometime as well though maybe when i can play it on my pc instead of my laptop
candid perch
turning sounds huge
Rage slash lets you do full 360° instead of just 90° iirc
Less damage unless you're getting hit during the charge though
It's pretty sweet in base rise, heavily outclassed by strongarm stance later
Adamant slash is overall just not great, I'd always use power sheathe and strongarm once you unlock it (before that, the big air slash that lets you do a charged plunge for absurd damage)
I can't wait to get the counter back on PC...
And the new counter in wilds has me excited
hollow comet
oh strongarm looks good
i will try it
i have trouble timing the air slash
gonna swap my palico to an endemic life one

Gathering palico ftw

Gets random abilities from a grab bag and sometimes they pull out a miniature dragonator

Wouldn't mind if the palico system had a little less complication in Wilds, I love the skills but keeping like an array of them going was weird

Risebreak has a really complex buddy system

it's neat to have a reason to go after your choice of X monsters, etc.

iiiii don't recall when the "trade in resource for Rare Drop" properly unlocks in sunbreak
i know that you can get mostly anything for anomaly coins, but the conditions for that...

i guess the golden muck farm isn't bad, the drop rates are ok and I only need 1

hopefully these are somewhat accurate
ah i should check on kiranico instead

Weakness Exploit the skill just rewards you hitting weakspots by making you hit weakspots even harder
(In this case through giving you crit chance boosts)
desert light
Attack up/crit boost/wex is the godlne trio normally, yes
to go back to an earlier hting, the reason the Ninja Sword weapon isnt very good, is because with WEX existing it's very easy to get 100 crit rating anyway
and still have bwetter stats on your sword
hollow comet
played a bit of world
very different combat.. i guess i'm too used to wirebugs n stuff now
attacks also feel slower in general
but it looks very good, and I like the story a lot
more interaction and voice acting, even if shooting at zorah made me kinda stressed out
twas cool
i miss my dog tho

I liked that Rise let you keep one companion no matter how many people were in the party, rather than removing them entirely if there were more than two people

Jfc what is the drop rate on steel gajau whiskers
Why is this single component rarer than a fuckin Daora gem for me
mystic cape
Should be 20% from MR zones

Even if it gives bonuses to THREE ammo types, and gives Ballistics
And Steadiness, and Tune-Up
...you know what I think I can stand to grind a little more

If possible try a quest where the point is to kill Gajau
That gives a chance of quest rewards too
Unless you already are doing that

I lose out on tackling as often but it makes up for it with the new moveset

Yeee
It's very nice
Especially for elemental damage, you get waaaayy more procs
And more damage overall I think, numbers for damage are weird
