I'm here in 2020, more specifically July 2020. Alatreon was just added into Iceborne. This very video was the first Gaijin video I watched. Was a glaive main back in 4U and this video popped up when I tried to find guides for kinsect cuz the kinsect system was very complicated and messy in 4U. He has a certain charm to his voice to make me feel relaxed after some salt from continuous carts to Rajang. He goes thru everything step by step and very carefully. I knew I was hooked right away, been here forever and will still be here. I might be back in 2025 to check in again. Thank you so much Gaijin and thank you all wonderful subscribers. Much love.
I also went here after setting off the dust in my 3ds. I was also a regular on his vids until I took hiatus 4 years ago. Need a refresher to get into hunting apex once again.
9:20 just to skip straight to the good method. 11:25 for misc. materials. 39 Power+ to 132 Power 19 Speed+ to 96 Speed 19 Stamina+ to 96 Stamina 30 Speed+ to 150 Speed 114 Power, 96 Stamina, 150 Speed total.
Gaijin, I want to thank you. I followed this guide using the second method, and it worked perfectly. I used the same glaive you did and everything, and it’s really nice having a great kinsect. I appreciate this stuff.
Probably already mentioned. While you might mess up things. As long as you do not evolve your kinsect you can always change it. You can always feed your kinsect after the fact. So you can always work on changing it back. This works great if you are upgrading your glaive while using it. As you can go full speed from the start and you just save up all your power nectars, then dump those in at the end, reducing speed back to 60, but at the same time you can get the evolution and stronger glaive, while you had a speedy bug.
The only thing stopping me from going Glaive at any point before G was thinking I had to have the ++ nectars. Now that i know I can do it with just +, I may just make a glaive my next project. Love the tutorials, thanks for the English version!
Dude, this guide was amazing! I'm just getting into MH but I am loving it. Very enjoyable to see the different quests and items. Trying to get my block/evade timing on point ;)
Gaijin. What do you think of people who hack in armor/weapons/talismans, should I kick them? Today I actually met a person online who told me they had a hacked talisman(ooo Auto Guard +10, Defense +14). They were G2 and also had a honed Rare 10 Daora CB and full G-Rank Dalamadur armor. It just infuriates me that people like us dedicate time and effort to make these armor sets, and then there are people who just cheat there way up. It kinda ruins some of the fun of mh imo because of the satisfaction that comes with completing a set or defeating a difficult quest.
So helpful, thank you so much Gaijin. I love that you decided to commentate in your videos as this makes it easier for me to internalize the material. Keep it up Broski.
Man, I'm so lucky, I just bought this game on the Eshop and wasn't sure of how it worked here, it's completly different from Generations but now I don't have to ruin my IG, thanks a lot!
Thank you so much for this Gaijin hunter. I was one of people that really asked for this on your other video! Really appreciate the effort you have put into the MH community.
Extract extend is the best but nobody is telling you that it's your only option. Extract efficacy L is nice too if you want to be overpowered for a short time. Seriously the health boost you get makes akantor and ukanlos fights trivial. you wont even touch a potion. You might want to look into what other skills there are and what trees you need to follow though because you can easily screw yourself over. (It's why if I make a glaive in G rank i make sure i over farm so I can fully upgrade in bulk so i can restart if i slip up)
BlaizeTheDragon But from most standpoints, you really don't have those other options. Going for any other option hampers yourself, and that's not what you want to do at all. It's like saying Blue sharpness weapons are fine in late G Rank. Yeah, you can use them, but Purple ones are just flat out better every time. Those other kinsects are only useful for novelty or super specialized circumstances.
That's pretty much what a "meta game" is: The most optimal way to play a game. What grinds my gears is when people say "OH FUCK ALL THAT, I LIKE TO PLAY *MY* GAMES FOR FUN!" because it is as if they are implying that grinding for mixed and matched equipment and acquiring very potent skills in order to kill a monster quicker than the norm is boring, yet wearing matching armor sets only to look cool or thinking the game ends at low/high rank is fun. There's nothing wrong with playing a game at a "casual" level, but when you consider people like them as the reason for the dip in the quality of modern gaming then that is when people who actually know how to invest time into something they love need to speak up.
Dude after all these years I got this recommended again. I'm still an IG main and this video was a big part of me not giving up this weapon(s) Thank you Gaijin!
Don't forget you can save your game before beginning either process (or your own) and if it does not work out how you planned just load the save and no harm done.
i wrote down this recipe based on the video power > LV3 power-type speed > LV6 power-type Speed > LV8 Stamina > LV10 Blue Type Speed! 150 Power++! 114 correct?
It may be just me; as I just started getting used to the Insect Glaive, but they are pretty easy to make and upgrade. It's just expensive. Like I only had to had the Flaming Crimson Fatalis twice to have all the materials I need and all those little hunts, (Damn Flutterflies.) to get the materials needed to upgrade. I had like 7 or 8 digits of zenny and now after fully upgrading the Crimson Glaive, I'm a bit under 5 or 4. Don't remember the exact numbers. Then again, it's probably just me as mentioned above, I only started using Insect Glaive.
You can easily gather ++ Nectars on any G-rank expedition or Guild Quest, no need for Treasure area. On most areas, you might see acorn-like gathering points on the ground. Those give either elemental Nectars or ++ Nectars. Some zones, such as the one with the shallow streams (Kelbi / Aptonoth feeding area), almost always have both. If they're blue, you get 2 Nectars per gather. Each node either gives only elemental Nectar or only ++ Nectars.
gaijin hunter Speaking of Kinsects. In your tutorial for insect glaives you left out 2 skill that you can use. If you press "R" in one of your combos you will strike the monster with the end of your staff allowing you to mark them that way, as well before releasing your kinsect you can actually hold the "X" button and charge your staff up before letting your Insect go causing it to move faster and hit a lot harder.
What if someone was crazy enough to farm ++ Nectar and use it instead of the Wycoon purchasable + ones, would we be hitting the same result or do they really only matter at the end once you do have the bug set?
I'm glad I didn't waste too many high rank and G rank parts on upgrading insect glaives. I had been upgrading with the element+ nectars you get early in the game. Having elemental damage wasn't as impressive as I'd hoped, and this looks like the way to go in any case.
just want to say that u can get max stat (114 power, 60 stamina, 150 speed) with only simple + nectars with gaijin hunters method if u do it a little diffent. all u need is to at lvl 11 after u filled the growth bar shift ur points to power til u have 114 power. then upgrading ur kinsect and put the rest of ur points into speed. hope this helps. and thanks this video has been a great help.
Hi! The description says 114 power and "60" stamina and 150 speed, Is that a typo for the 60 stamina? Thanks for all of the great videos gaijin hunter! They helped me a bunch all the time! :)
Would you mind doing a tutorial of how to do all this with ++ nectars in order to get a bit more better version in the end? I'm also a bit confused of how low rarity the weapon has to be in the beginning in order to have enough upgrades available to reach EE. Do I always have to start from the bottom of weapon's tree? And what about if certain weapon has just a few version upgrades available in stead of 10?
The one thing I don't understand is: how do we know at what point the weapon upgrade paths intersect with the kinsect levels? For example, how do I know before starting that a lv 10 kinsect will occur during Needle Vine or Paralyzing Vine? Also are there any IG upgrade families that can reach a lv10 kinsect before G2 materials are required?
I don't know about you guys, but having used melfs kinsect guide from the very beginning of the game for my IGs, i didn't have any problems using a very slow bug
I never realized how much damn materials you need to upgrading this thing all at once, I had to stop midway during the upgrade phase to collect mega demondrugs and demonpills it took forever, and that was only for one glaive!! I have four I need to make lmao
Hi gaijin hunter , I have another question about the final upgrades though. Is there a reason why it's not needed to use Speed++ at level 11? I thought since it's the end game you can use Speed++ to reach 150 faster, and thus have more Power with Power++. Am I missing something here?
Gotta wonder if you're ever gonna (or, if I've somehow missed it, ever have) posted how damage calculation works with the Kinsect's attacks, or how much KO/Exhaust Blunt ones offer.
The one thing I can't find mentioned anywhere is can I start this with ANY IG? The only one I have available to me is the Bone Staff and I don't want to start putting in Nectars if it's going to screw it up in the end. Someone please answer!
Why aren't any element Nectars used in this process? For example the "Power+ Nectar: Fire" Adds Power +2/Fire +! and the minus to Speed doesn't matter at this point.
you might not see this but... Why don't you use elemental nectar? the element power and speed would work in a certain way to make it into an ultimate build
hey if i could get some help it be nice i did what you say to do in the video with the dios glaive but now im about to upgrade it to the lightbreak press and dont know witch one of the two kinsects to choose, plus right now my power is at 114, 96 stamina and 96 speed
Can someone explain to me what are the various benefits of the 5 glaives recommended, especially when compared to other glaives which give either similar effects or damage?
Hmm... how would I go about upgrading an IG I got from a Teo guild quest? It's called Metal Mauler and its bug is Ladytarge currently at Lv 4. I haven't touched it at all yet, so it has 60 power and speed, but 102 stamina....
so... what about relic glaives, they start with weird leveled bugs, for example i got a nice metal mauler with purple sharpness with sharpness+1 with defense and affinity and solid attack with a +4 to edgemaster, but the kinsect started at level 5... not sure what nectars to use from there...
On your list it says I need 1 Hvy Monster Bone and 3 Fey Wyvern Bones. I can't seem to find these items on Kiranico, which makes me think they might have a different translation. My guesses after looking at Kiranico's list are as follows: "Fey Wyvern Bones" = "Fey Wyvern Gem" "Hvy Monster Bone" ="Jumbo Bone" "Giant Elder Dragon Bones" = "Lrg Elder Dragon Bone" Can you confirm? Thanks in advance for your help!
i noticed that the power ++ and stamina ++ nectars don't have negatives in the other base stats beside elements. in that case if you farmed up a shitload of them from expeditions would you be able to make a kinsect with even better stats or is that wishfull thinking? i realise it would also take a shitload of effort
Can you make a video for the other Super Kinsects? I made a brach glaive as a speed since I wasn't in G rank yet but I don't want to get rid if it. I would just like to make the Speed + Stamina Kinsect.
Could you go over what the gore mgala amror does/how is it special because when i fight it starts glowing red and i haven't been able to find a reason why
Hint: Don't use any of the elemental nectars! Not only do they only give 1 to the important stat, but you will never be attacking with the kinsect except to get juiced, making them completely useless filler that you could just sell.
Thanks Gaijin! I'm using this guide to help make a Seltas IG that'll be useful down the road. That'll be my 'test glaive', before I start to make more IG's in this style C:
Hey gaijin, I would like to know what are the other top insect glaves you mentioned? you said that it was one of hte top 5, what are the others? thanks and keep up the great work!
Could we use the power+ Fire for the initial power nectar upgrades? Since the stats can't go below 60, the -3 speed shouldn't matter right? or does the +fire change the outcome? Thanks
now that we know the bug name that we need to get, makes it that much easier. power type and 96 in each by lvl 10. im wondering, WTF is the COL column when you look at equipment (under armor)(big circle with smaller circles around it) and what does it do/how do you get it? i believe by weapon its the honing of the weapon. idk about armor. thanks!
Hi , I mistaked in the part use +3 energy and then +5 speed without upgrade, can I have 150 speed if I continue upgrading exactly? I think at the end you can use speed+ the way you need yo reach 150 no?
Why is the brachy glaive on your list? sure it has better sharpness then hellruin overall, but less affinity/slots/blast is eh, and if you dont use sharpness+1 the dala glaive seems the best with its massive white (though you cant finish it yet)
I think I might have figured out my own question. It looks like I can substitute two stamina++ for five stamina+ in the last two phases of the recipe. But I can't use more than four stamina++ (two in each phase) without messing things up. Does this seem right?
So if I wanted to make the hellruin glaive, assuming I never made any kinsect adjustments until the omen, would this method still work or would I have to do it from hellruin glaive?
Love your guides/tutorials! They're very informative. I was wondering, could you do a guide on the whole VE Ticket system?? All I've learned from research online is that the colour of your guild card corresponds to amount of unique quests you've done and has something to do with unity level which gets you different level tickets (Bronze, silver, gold, cosmic, etc) But it was all SUPER confusing to me, I can't tell what colour my guild card is supposed to be and have no Idea how to get the higher tickets D: If you did a guide that would be amazing! If not I understand, just thought it might be a good Idea for people like me who are confused about that whole system.
Gaijin hunter, do you know anything about the relation between the RNG for relic weapons and guild quest level? I really wanna know because it's clear higher levels get better results, but also, would there be a big difference between a level 140 ruby basarios vs a level 140 apex jho and apex rajang or something else really tough?
2 questions... How do you make all of that money? And How do you make it so it doesn't go below 96, is there like an auto cap applied or something? Thanks
I haven't use a glaive before and i was going to use this example to build mine but somethin that i dont understand it's if this glaive with "effect extender" could only be build using the kushala daora glaive or i could obtain this effect on a different glaive (Let's say Chameleos one for example which seem like a nice weapon) following the steps described here to feed the kinsect?
all Kinsect upgrades are the same no matter the glaive (the names are different for blunt and cutting (blunt can KO and cutting can cut tails) but the upgrade paths are exactly the same)
I have a bunch of stamina++ nectars in my inventory. Can I just use those where I would normally use a stamina+? Sorry I don't fully understand the IG leveling mechanics.
The method is great but I also like to use my buggy buddy as a weapon, with this method I don't get elemental damage so I'll stick to get cutting speed and stamina since I can keep cut tails with it. :)
If I put all (or practically all) in speed at the start and I'm already at 100+ speed now, is there no way to get it to this Kinsect? Follow-up question: Does this make my insect glaive not worthy/useless? :/ (I'm asking since I'm not sure if I want to start from scratch)
Someone help please! I'm making the Anubis Glaive! And I'm at level 10 so I can make Lady Tower, but my kinsect only has 105 in power. In Gaijins video his glaive has 114 at level 10. Is this because kushala is a cutting type and impact types just have less power? Or did I mess up somewhere?
Mechanics question. In the older games, using a pill and then a seed would grant the potency of the pill with the duration of the seed. Pop an adamant pill and then an adamant seed and you'd get adamant pill buff for as long as the seed was active, even going so far to extend it by taking more seeds before the buff runs out. Is this mechanic still in this game? I am slightly disappointed that there's only one good Kinsect, but when I have the materials, I may experiment with making this Ultimate Kinsect with added elemental damage. It may require those ++ Nectars for it though.
That mechanic was fixed in the third generation and beyond. And there isn't only one good kinsect, that's just people being lazy. Effect Extender is only worth it/the best in two situations: 1) you are fighting a monster you hate getting a certain color for (this isn't the case for much of anything in g-rank if your bug is fast enough, in my opinion) 2) you are doing a speedrun and buffing up your attack power via heroics or adrenaline+2 and fortify and plan to pretty much finish the monster in one 2 min buff period anyway. As you can see, average play doesn't cover any of those two cases. Try the other bugs, they all have their strengths that cover more common situations in average play.
Are nectar+ being used over nectar++ simply because they can be acquired more easily/conveniently? I pick up loads of nectar++ on G rank expeditions, to the point where I have them in greater abundance than nectar+. Is there any reason not to make the ultimate kinsect on nectar++ alone?
I am making the shagaru magala IG, I followed this guide all the way. I'm at lv 7 going into 8, but some of the numbers are not matching up? Instead of hitting 114 like it says, I seem to max it at 99. Did I just waste my time and resources?
To all people who play this game in german: Kraft+-Nektar = Power+Nectar Ausdauer+-Nektar = Stamina+Nectar Geschwindgkt+Nkt = Speed+Nectar Why i wrote that? They actually added a " - " at Stamina and Power Nectar after the " + ". But at Speed its still just " + ".
New player here, using the IG. I was wondering why you wouldn't use the stat++ nectars? Since they only reduce all the elements, and not the stats you are actually interested in.
Hey gaijin, in your opinion, what is the best charge blade? I curently use "Chernobog's Scythe" and I wanted to know what to try and make next! Fyi: I prefer impact phials.
I've got a problem I have three relic insect gravies that are amazing but they are all set to reavedrone can I change that or somehow still get the ultimate kinsect
I've just made to G rank and I've made a Kushala IG. I was planning on following your guide, but I don't have the extender. Why do you have it on yours? Do you get it later on in the G-rank?(sry, MH4U is my 1st MH game) Also, I just saw your Super Kinsect vid, when and how do you get to the Wyverian Trader?
I'm here in 2020, more specifically July 2020. Alatreon was just added into Iceborne. This very video was the first Gaijin video I watched.

Hey same here! Gaijin is great, I honestly think he helped me fall in love with monster hunter even more than I had before
I also went here after setting off the dust in my 3ds. I was also a regular on his vids until I took hiatus 4 years ago. Need a refresher to get into hunting apex once again.
*Hi from 2022*

I'm currently finishing what I started and finally beating 4u this should help thanks for the great guides
2016 was 8 years ago and this is one of my favorite games still

The only thing stopping me from going Glaive at any point before G was thinking I had to have the ++ nectars. Now that i know I can do it with just +, I may just make a glaive my next project. Love the tutorials, thanks for the English version!
Dude, this guide was amazing! I'm just getting into MH but I am loving it. Very enjoyable to see the different quests and items. Trying to get my block/evade timing on point ;)
Gaijin. What do you think of people who hack in armor/weapons/talismans, should I kick them? Today I actually met a person online who told me they had a hacked talisman(ooo Auto Guard +10, Defense +14). They were G2 and also had a honed Rare 10 Daora CB and full G-Rank Dalamadur armor. It just infuriates me that people like us dedicate time and effort to make these armor sets, and then there are people who just cheat there way up. It kinda ruins some of the fun of mh imo because of the satisfaction that comes with completing a set or defeating a difficult quest.
Boot em!
Why would you even bother hacking an Auto Guard talisman?
You should just kick them because most hackers don't know how to hunt properly.
Same thing happened to me, guy had full White Fatalis set cause of action replay, load of bull.
Who cares. It's a PvE game, it's not competitive. Let people play how they want to play.
Starting MH4U again in 2021 and your channel also the first one I come back to :)
So helpful, thank you so much Gaijin. I love that you decided to commentate in your videos as this makes it easier for me to internalize the material. Keep it up Broski.
Man, I'm so lucky, I just bought this game on the Eshop and wasn't sure of how it worked here, it's completly different from Generations but now I don't have to ruin my IG, thanks a lot!
Updated, voiced and in English? Your videos are getting better and better! :3
Thank you so much for this Gaijin hunter. I was one of people that really asked for this on your other video! Really appreciate the effort you have put into the MH community.
For a weapon that looks like it's supposed to be full of customization options, it sucks that this video makes it seem like you have no options.
Extract extend is the best but nobody is telling you that it's your only option. Extract efficacy L is nice too if you want to be overpowered for a short time. Seriously the health boost you get makes akantor and ukanlos fights trivial. you wont even touch a potion.

Sethbeastalan I've had good success and alot of fun with a kinsect focused gameplan and glavie.
That's pretty much what a "meta game" is: The most optimal way to play a game. What grinds my gears is when people say "OH FUCK ALL THAT, I LIKE TO PLAY *MY* GAMES FOR FUN!" because it is as if they are implying that grinding for mixed and matched equipment and acquiring very potent skills in order to kill a monster quicker than the norm is boring, yet wearing matching armor sets only to look cool or thinking the game ends at low/high rank is fun. There's nothing wrong with playing a game at a "casual" level, but when you consider people like them as the reason for the dip in the quality of modern gaming then that is when people who actually know how to invest time into something they love need to speak up.
***** You know you can be serious and competitive and also have fun, they don't need to be apart like most people try to split them as such.
u said wind focus 3:15 man, also why are those 5 the best 5? the rath one is like the kushala but fire is that a huge difference?
Dude after all these years I got this recommended again. I'm still an IG main and this video was a big part of me not giving up this weapon(s)
Thank you Gaijin!
Don't forget you can save your game before beginning either process (or your own) and if it does not work out how you planned just load the save and no harm done.
i wrote down this recipe based on the video
power > LV3
power-type
speed > LV6
power-type
Speed > LV8
Stamina > LV10
Blue Type
Speed! 150
Power++! 114
correct?
It may be just me; as I just started getting used to the Insect Glaive, but they are pretty easy to make and upgrade. It's just expensive. Like I only had to had the Flaming Crimson Fatalis twice to have all the materials I need and all those little hunts, (Damn Flutterflies.) to get the materials needed to upgrade.

You can easily gather ++ Nectars on any G-rank expedition or Guild Quest, no need for Treasure area.
On most areas, you might see acorn-like gathering points on the ground. Those give either elemental Nectars or ++ Nectars. Some zones, such as the one with the shallow streams (Kelbi / Aptonoth feeding area), almost always have both. If they're blue, you get 2 Nectars per gather. Each node either gives only elemental Nectar or only ++ Nectars.
gaijin hunter Speaking of Kinsects. In your tutorial for insect glaives you left out 2 skill that you can use. If you press "R" in one of your combos you will strike the monster with the end of your staff allowing you to mark them that way, as well before releasing your kinsect you can actually hold the "X" button and charge your staff up before letting your Insect go causing it to move faster and hit a lot harder.
What if someone was crazy enough to farm ++ Nectar and use it instead of the Wycoon purchasable + ones, would we be hitting the same result or do they really only matter at the end once you do have the bug set?
I'm glad I didn't waste too many high rank and G rank parts on upgrading insect glaives. I had been upgrading with the element+ nectars you get early in the game. Having elemental damage wasn't as impressive as I'd hoped, and this looks like the way to go in any case.
just want to say that u can get max stat (114 power, 60 stamina, 150 speed) with only simple + nectars with gaijin hunters method if u do it a little diffent. all u need is to at lvl 11 after u filled the growth bar shift ur points to power til u have 114 power. then upgrading ur kinsect and put the rest of ur points into speed. hope this helps. and thanks this video has been a great help.
damn right about Cathar, best music in 4U
Saved for later!
I don't know ANYTHING about glaive weapons but if i ever feel the need to learn this is what I'll use as a guide ;D
Dude I have powerhouse bugs with 60 speed and I just got used to it
Ugh...I got a lot of Glaives to redo now. T.T
Hi! The description says 114 power and "60" stamina and 150 speed, Is that a typo for the 60 stamina?
Thanks for all of the great videos gaijin hunter! They helped me a bunch all the time! :)
I know everybody loves Effect Extender, but I'm kinda interested in the double essence one... but I have no idea how to get it....
+Iron Paladin Keep with the Balanced Kinsect and you'll get it.
Would you mind doing a tutorial of how to do all this with ++ nectars in order to get a bit more better version in the end? I'm also a bit confused of how low rarity the weapon has to be in the beginning in order to have enough upgrades available to reach EE. Do I always have to start from the bottom of weapon's tree? And what about if certain weapon has just a few version upgrades available in stead of 10?
Jumping into the 3DS library as the Switch games are so expensive and I need a real primer.
Finally gonna try IG after owning the game for 5 years, this will come in handy
Awesome vid, but if you don't mind me asking, what do you use for your recording? Was interested in how 3ds streamin/recording works.
The one thing I don't understand is: how do we know at what point the weapon upgrade paths intersect with the kinsect levels? For example, how do I know before starting that a lv 10 kinsect will occur during Needle Vine or Paralyzing Vine? Also are there any IG upgrade families that can reach a lv10 kinsect before G2 materials are required?

I never realized how much damn materials you need to upgrading this thing all at once, I had to stop midway during the upgrade phase to collect mega demondrugs and demonpills it took forever, and that was only for one glaive!! I have four I need to make lmao
Hi gaijin hunter , I have another question about the final upgrades though. Is there a reason why it's not needed to use Speed++ at level 11? I thought since it's the end game you can use Speed++ to reach 150 faster, and thus have more Power with Power++.
Am I missing something here?
Gotta wonder if you're ever gonna (or, if I've somehow missed it, ever have) posted how damage calculation works with the Kinsect's attacks, or how much KO/Exhaust Blunt ones offer.
The one thing I can't find mentioned anywhere is can I start this with ANY IG? The only one I have available to me is the Bone Staff and I don't want to start putting in Nectars if it's going to screw it up in the end. Someone please answer!
What monster gives the Anubis Glaive?
Also is the Fatalis Glaive at you can see at 1:33 the Crimson Fatalis Glaive or the Regular Fatalis Glave?
im reeeally glad to know I've messed up real good with all my elemental glaives
What happens if you make a mistake?
Because it happened to me with the Gore glaive and I don't know what I have to do...
Why aren't any element Nectars used in this process? For example the "Power+ Nectar: Fire" Adds Power +2/Fire +! and the minus to Speed doesn't matter at this point.
Jesus you have improved a lot in 5 years
you might not see this but... Why don't you use elemental nectar? the element power and speed would work in a certain way to make it into an ultimate build
hey if i could get some help it be nice i did what you say to do in the video with the dios glaive but now im about to upgrade it to the lightbreak press and dont know witch one of the two kinsects to choose, plus right now my power is at 114, 96 stamina and 96 speed
Can someone explain to me what are the various benefits of the 5 glaives recommended, especially when compared to other glaives which give either similar effects or damage?
Totally confused, I've tried twice now to get this kinsect on the brachy IG but it doesn't work. I somehow ended up with the gleambeatle.
Hmm... how would I go about upgrading an IG I got from a Teo guild quest? It's called Metal Mauler and its bug is Ladytarge currently at Lv 4. I haven't touched it at all yet, so it has 60 power and speed, but 102 stamina....
so... what about relic glaives, they start with weird leveled bugs, for example i got a nice metal mauler with purple sharpness with sharpness+1 with defense and affinity and solid attack with a +4 to edgemaster, but the kinsect started at level 5... not sure what nectars to use from there...
Love this lil guy! Any chance you will make a video for the Caravaneer's Challenge? :P
@gaijin hunter . can i use method 1 for every(only going to make the top 5 glaives) kinsect??:o
On your list it says I need 1 Hvy Monster Bone and 3 Fey Wyvern Bones. I can't seem to find these items on Kiranico, which makes me think they might have a different translation.
My guesses after looking at Kiranico's list are as follows:
"Fey Wyvern Bones" = "Fey Wyvern Gem"
"Hvy Monster Bone" ="Jumbo Bone"
"Giant Elder Dragon Bones" = "Lrg Elder Dragon Bone"
Can you confirm?
Thanks in advance for your help!
i noticed that the power ++ and stamina ++ nectars don't have negatives in the other base stats beside elements. in that case if you farmed up a shitload of them from expeditions would you be able to make a kinsect with even better stats or is that wishfull thinking? i realise it would also take a shitload of effort
Can you make a video for the other Super Kinsects? I made a brach glaive as a speed since I wasn't in G rank yet but I don't want to get rid if it. I would just like to make the Speed + Stamina Kinsect.
Could you go over what the gore mgala amror does/how is it special because when i fight it starts glowing red and i haven't been able to find a reason why
Which are the others insect glaive upgradable with this method? i've made the Hazy Caster (starting from Caster's Rod)
question, why is it not okay to use power+ fire nectars? in what way does this impact the using the glaive as you level it method?
Hint: Don't use any of the elemental nectars! Not only do they only give 1 to the important stat, but you will never be attacking with the kinsect except to get juiced, making them completely useless filler that you could just sell.
Thanks Gaijin! I'm using this guide to help make a Seltas IG that'll be useful down the road. That'll be my 'test glaive', before I start to make more IG's in this style C:
Hey gaijin, I would like to know what are the other top insect glaves you mentioned? you said that it was one of hte top 5, what are the others? thanks and keep up the great work!
Could we use the power+ Fire for the initial power nectar upgrades? Since the stats can't go below 60, the -3 speed shouldn't matter right? or does the +fire change the outcome? Thanks
now that we know the bug name that we need to get, makes it that much easier. power type and 96 in each by lvl 10.
im wondering, WTF is the COL column when you look at equipment (under armor)(big circle with smaller circles around it) and what does it do/how do you get it? i believe by weapon its the honing of the weapon. idk about armor. thanks!
Hi , I mistaked in the part use +3 energy and then +5 speed without upgrade, can I have 150 speed if I continue upgrading exactly? I think at the end you can use speed+ the way you need yo reach 150 no?
Why is the brachy glaive on your list? sure it has better sharpness then hellruin overall, but less affinity/slots/blast is eh, and if you dont use sharpness+1 the dala glaive seems the best with its massive white (though you cant finish it yet)
But what if, by some unholy desire summoning magic, we have enough ++ Nectars to do this using them alone? What kinds of numbers would we be talking?
is the info section an error when saying the max stats are (114 power, 60 stamina, 150 speed) when stamina should be 96?
I think I might have figured out my own question. It looks like I can substitute two stamina++ for five stamina+ in the last two phases of the recipe. But I can't use more than four stamina++ (two in each phase) without messing things up. Does this seem right?
So if I wanted to make the hellruin glaive, assuming I never made any kinsect adjustments until the omen, would this method still work or would I have to do it from hellruin glaive?
Love your guides/tutorials! They're very informative. I was wondering, could you do a guide on the whole VE Ticket system?? All I've learned from research online is that the colour of your guild card corresponds to amount of unique quests you've done and has something to do with unity level which gets you different level tickets (Bronze, silver, gold, cosmic, etc) But it was all SUPER confusing to me, I can't tell what colour my guild card is supposed to be and have no Idea how to get the higher tickets D: If you did a guide that would be amazing! If not I understand, just thought it might be a good Idea for people like me who are confused about that whole system.
Gaijin hunter, do you know anything about the relation between the RNG for relic weapons and guild quest level? I really wanna know because it's clear higher levels get better results, but also, would there be a big difference between a level 140 ruby basarios vs a level 140 apex jho and apex rajang or something else really tough?
2 questions...
How do you make all of that money?
And How do you make it so it doesn't go below 96, is there like an auto cap applied or something?
Thanks
I haven't use a glaive before and i was going to use this example to build mine but somethin that i dont understand it's if this glaive with "effect extender" could only be build using the kushala daora glaive or i could obtain this effect on a different glaive (Let's say Chameleos one for example which seem like a nice weapon) following the steps described here to feed the kinsect?
all Kinsect upgrades are the same no matter the glaive (the names are different for blunt and cutting (blunt can KO and cutting can cut tails) but the upgrade paths are exactly the same)
thanks a lot, I've got a question, is the Kinsect Staff you make out of the gore magala any good? I mean completly upgraded, like in this guide
I like the glaive, but I don't play the weapon because I don't want to mess with all this bullcrap., it is really annoying.
Your Recipe List at the end is missing 5 Monster Essence.
I was nevertheless able to make a Hazy caster with EE and 150 Speed in one shot. Thanks!
I have a bunch of stamina++ nectars in my inventory. Can I just use those where I would normally use a stamina+? Sorry I don't fully understand the IG leveling mechanics.
So this guide helped a lot but I was wondering does this set up work for all glaves ever para ones ?
The method is great but I also like to use my buggy buddy as a weapon, with this method I don't get elemental damage so I'll stick to get cutting speed and stamina since I can keep cut tails with it. :)
Super helpful! So glad to see this guide in English!
If I put all (or practically all) in speed at the start and I'm already at 100+ speed now, is there no way to get it to this Kinsect?
Follow-up question: Does this make my insect glaive not worthy/useless? :/ (I'm asking since I'm not sure if I want to start from scratch)
Someone help please! I'm making the Anubis Glaive! And I'm at level 10 so I can make Lady Tower, but my kinsect only has 105 in power. In Gaijins video his glaive has 114 at level 10. Is this because kushala is a cutting type and impact types just have less power? Or did I mess up somewhere?
Mechanics question. In the older games, using a pill and then a seed would grant the potency of the pill with the duration of the seed. Pop an adamant pill and then an adamant seed and you'd get adamant pill buff for as long as the seed was active, even going so far to extend it by taking more seeds before the buff runs out. Is this mechanic still in this game? I am slightly disappointed that there's only one good Kinsect, but when I have the materials, I may experiment with making this Ultimate Kinsect with added elemental damage. It may require those ++ Nectars for it though.
That mechanic was fixed in the third generation and beyond. And there isn't only one good kinsect, that's just people being lazy. Effect Extender is only worth it/the best in two situations: 1) you are fighting a monster you hate getting a certain color for (this isn't the case for much of anything in g-rank if your bug is fast enough, in my opinion) 2) you are doing a speedrun and buffing up your attack power via heroics or adrenaline+2 and fortify and plan to pretty much finish the monster in one 2 min buff period anyway.
As you can see, average play doesn't cover any of those two cases. Try the other bugs, they all have their strengths that cover more common situations in average play.
Are nectar+ being used over nectar++ simply because they can be acquired more easily/conveniently? I pick up loads of nectar++ on G rank expeditions, to the point where I have them in greater abundance than nectar+. Is there any reason not to make the ultimate kinsect on nectar++ alone?
I am making the shagaru magala IG, I followed this guide all the way. I'm at lv 7 going into 8, but some of the numbers are not matching up? Instead of hitting 114 like it says, I seem to max it at 99. Did I just waste my time and resources?
Hey GH, do the other recipes on your site still work? The one for double extract follows a different path than that i have seen on japanese wiki
They might but I haven't tried them out personally so I am no going to swear on it, though! Do it one shot and reset if it doesn't.
does it matter if I use power+, speed+, and stamina+? What if I put a combination of ++ or no plus to get the same stats before leveling up?
To all people who play this game in german:
Kraft+-Nektar = Power+Nectar
Ausdauer+-Nektar = Stamina+Nectar
Geschwindgkt+Nkt = Speed+Nectar
Why i wrote that? They actually added a " - " at Stamina and Power Nectar after the " + ". But at Speed its still just " + ".
New player here, using the IG. I was wondering why you wouldn't use the stat++ nectars? Since they only reduce all the elements, and not the stats you are actually interested in.
I have a question. I have an brachydios glaive right now i dont care about power and a bit about the stamina should i go on whith the speed path?
So is this video just a translated version of the other Effect Extender video, and with another method of doing so?
Hey gaijin, in your opinion, what is the best charge blade? I curently use "Chernobog's Scythe" and I wanted to know what to try and make next!
Fyi: I prefer impact phials.
I've got a problem I have three relic insect gravies that are amazing but they are all set to reavedrone can I change that or somehow still get the ultimate kinsect
I've just made to G rank and I've made a Kushala IG. I was planning on following your guide, but I don't have the extender. Why do you have it on yours? Do you get it later on in the G-rank?(sry, MH4U is my 1st MH game) Also, I just saw your Super Kinsect vid, when and how do you get to the Wyverian Trader?
Effect extender is from kinsect leveling and its the final kinsect that is chosen during this video that grants effect extender
i really love ur videos:) also you are doing a great job at narrating ^^
I started with the seregios glaive but my power is 105 and I followed your video. did I go wrong somewhere? or was it due to the weapon type?
