the ones in the supply box will suffice, pretty much every time. And if not you can easily find some shrooms throughout the map, not to mention going back to camp to resupply @@thedarkemissary
You missed flash bugs instead of flash pods. I get what you're going for with just giving a breakdown of how you're thinking when making an item loadout, but I think a better example of how you're thinking is to make several loadouts that just have one or two things you're thinking of with the 4 inv slots used by the charms. So there would be a loadout for 20 health potions, a loadout for 9 mega barrel bombs, a loadout for 10 flashbugs that you can craft into single pods, shoot, then not have to switch off to your regular pods. You even gave a good example of being able to create space in your inventory for crafting with the demon drugs and armor skins only being 1 stack, meaning that you will have an empty space to craft in once you drink. I think you can make this video a lot more informative
This guy came out of nowhere to save us new players. It feels like the game just released and there is a time traveler messiah making us better hunters
Just a note to players thinking that +15 attack is really small. This is 15 RAW attack which is then multiplied by which weapon you are using. This also goes for the attack and defense seeds, drugs, powders, and pills. RAW dmg is before weapon multiplier.
What if I have a ridiculous build that doesn't attack? I've solo cleared almost all endgame content with a rarity 6 weapon, because all it's there for is elemental boost and gem slots. The kinsect does all the killing.
@@ahis3233 I thought I replied, but yt probably tossed it for being too long. All you need is an element boost IG and powerful kinsects of every element. Then just be as tanky as possible. Execution is clutch claw tenderize to get top tier slinger ammo, use ammo to buff kinsect, sting, recall for stamina, reapply buff and get more ammo as needed. I have 2 videos of build in action in case you want to see it.
One Tip: SKIP THE MEGA POTIONS! They take too long to fully consume without investing into Speed Eating and in MR they give you 4 *free* ones in every quest anyway. Just take the Max and Ancient Potions and the mats to craft more Max's, it'll give you a much better grasp on Effective HP and Effective Damage rather than topping yourself up with a Mega every one or two hits. Doesn't matter how many Mega's you chug if the monster you're fighting will always kill you in 3 hits. Two Tip: Take ONE Might Pill with you on Elder Dragon hunts for the wake-up bomb in its final area (assuming it makes it there). That extra buff is really noticeable on a wake-up hit.
Just a quick note on Demondrug and Mega Demondrug, they last the whole hunt, unless you die. If you cart the buff is removed and you’ll need to consume another demondrug, the same goes for Armorskin/Mega Armorskin. I carry 2 or 3 in my loadout for this reason in case i get smacked around by a monster
Man I wish the descriptions of these included the uptime. I had no idea the Demon and Armor potions last the whole hunt while the might pill only lasts 20 seconds. Thanks for this video
This video came pretty handy to me as I'm a fellow new comer to the game and my loadouts as radial menus are a complete mess. Specially since I never know what good items brings for every situation. With that said, now I will surely have everything way more well optimized and ready to go for each hunt. Thank you so much!
A very useful guide, even 500 hours in, i learned some tips and i'll probably change a few of my loadouts and radial menus. I'm adding a quick tip about Alatreon and Fatalis specifically : you should make dedicated loadouts for those specifically, as they require some specifi items that you don't use often anywhere else. So don't forget to bring your Astera jerkeys for Alatreon and your smoke bombs alongside some materials to craft more for Fatalis, as you'll be using those all the time. Smoke bombs can alos be useful to bring for Safi if you're still making your way through the game and don't feel comfortable keeping the aggro for too long (granted, better equipped and skilled teammates should get it instead of you, but still).
i think during progression of the base game, its nice to carry 8 mega potions, 4 antidotes, 4 nullberries, one of each traps and tranqs, 1 flashpod and about 4 dung pods. Itll cover 99% of what youll ruin into, and itll allow you to keep picking up items which is helpful for early game bounties, like herb and honey gathering i never really thought about moving the demon drug and the like to the beginning of the item bar, thats a nice tip
i use pills instead of seeds when playing sns because you can pop them quickly, i love playing with items with sns, i am sad that there are no oils, you can only realy use the pills and poison bombs
I've found that I can get better stats by cooking food with the (L) buff, mostly defense or elem resistance but attack if I have a good feel for the fight. Instead of wasting the stat boost in exchange for +50 health, I take mega nutrients to top off my health. Saving my max potions for critically fast heals. If you cart you'll be by your box and can eat more nutrients. Anyways. 10 mega potions plus 10 more to craft is enough for me for base game monsters. Also keep astral jerky on you, the jerky cures bleed but also it heals ALL of your RED health bar damage with one quick bite. Getting hit by end game monsters can leave you with up to 75% red health bar damage that can near instantly be healed with the jerky. Effectively healing you faster than potions, and oftentimes more than aega will heal you in those cases. Hope this helps!
I heavily advise using multiple item load outs. First because I can't imagine why you would need that many healing items, usually I can get away with just ancient and max potions if I'm carrying health booster, also because some things like antidotes, cool drink, and traps are situational, and some other things value depends on your weapon. And yeah, 95% of the time, especially in the endgame you don't NEED, extra inventory space, so bring everything, there are definitely situations where you do want to have space to pick things up.
Okay so it's not only me that thought the insane amount of healing items were insane. I usually just bring the ten potions and ten mega potions. If any more than that is needed then there's a serious lack of skill going on. Well, that's how I've been doing at least.
My brothers and I use Farcasters as our "pause" buttons too. You can't pause World so if your doing something and need to go away from the game its the only way to keep your hunter safe.
Just started up and I’m doing a fresh play through( new weapon and new save) with my roommate who’s playing for the first time and these guides are saving me SOOO much time trying to help get back into the swing of things.
I played this game when it first came out but I started playing it again like 3 days ago and once again I’m hooked. This helped me a lot since I’ve forgotten a lot but I’m enjoying it a lot. Thanks for the guide 👍🏽
Wow, I just watched your video and I'm blown away by the insightful points you made! Honestly, I couldn't think of anything better or more useful to add. Your analysis was spot on, and I appreciate the depth and clarity with which you presented your ideas. It's rare to come across content that not only captures your attention but also leaves you with valuable takeaways. Kudos to you for creating such high-quality and thought-provoking content!
I would like to clarify something you said about the demondrugs/armorskins. You said that it lasts the duration of the fight which is not exactly accurate. It lasts until you faint so it is worth bringing several in each hunt if you know it is a tough hunt and you will likely faint. Just a minor clarification for new players.
I think the idea is that if they die, they restock their loadout at camp. That's slow, so personally I bring a full stack of the drugs, but there's merit in wanting open inventory slots to grab some extra resources if your item box isn't overflowing.
@@TheInnerHollow895 You take the 1 at the start, it frees the inventory space. If you die, you re-get the loadout and drink the 1, and it frees the inventory space.
@@TheInnerHollow895 Yeah I don't either. I don't think the micro-optimization is worth it personally -- if you don't have the resources just bring a tighter loadout (10 mega potions, niche healing as necessary) so you can gather. Botany tree OP tho, so for folks with a decent item box already, there's just no reason to gather herbs or whatever.
I'd recommend for players to bring about 7/10 items like Honey, Godbugs, Blue mushrooms etc. You are likely to find at least one of these in the duration of a hunt, so that way you are still able to gather a few of these items along the way instead of being maxed out from the start of a hunt.
Realistically, this wont be able to be filled out till later in the game anyway. New players are still fairly limited on what they have access to till they progress. My new return playthrough, i have been running half inventory. Not because I want to, but I just dont have a lot of tools yet. Yeah, I could have farmed mats, but I find with the provided resources and ammo every mission (something I used to always ignore) has been pretty helpful. Especially running around and picking up honey to upgrade those First-Aid-Meds to the + version via autocraft. Free good heals :D
For higher difficulty hunts, and arena hunts I take both Sushifish scales and Mega potions (no potions and honey) and the scales become my primary healing source as I edit the radial shortcut menu to reflect those changes. The scales are just superior to potions in every way except ease of scavenging and mid fight crafting. Doing this also reduces the need to bring mandragora and Mega Nutrients for max potions, although I still bring 2 max potions for emergencies I rarely have to use both. This saves a lot of item pouch space for other useful items that can be swapped out depending on what you're hunting including barrel bombs, smoke bombs, poison smoke bombs (which can hilariously poison large monsters), pods, traps, etc you get the point. Also, I always take whetfish scales, no matter the hunt, and they're also on the radial menu for quick sharpening midfight without fear which can really speed up your hunt times. I save the Great Whetfish for hardest hunts The pills are more useful if you run Item Prolonger (one of my favorite skills) The powders are still useful in singleplayer if you go out of your way to collect tailraiders. For fun I'd occasionally use smoke bombs to get out of monster sight briefly, and it's especially good to use them if you have earplugs since monsters like to roar first when they "resee" you. If you're a gunlancer wanting to get free Wyvern Fire hits in, smoke bombs can help!
Hell yea bro, it's like we back in 2019. Same content being remade, same game being replayed. Loving it. Edit: I'm about 500 hours into MHW. I learned at least 4 new things from this video.
I'd note a missed aspect of this guide is how expensive/inexpensive a lot of these items are, or the best ways to get a good supply of the staple items. The mega drugs are good examples of this, later on you can just meld for them but early on the minimal difference between the mega versions and the regular versions means its better to just use the regulars as the materials to make them are all easy to get and farmable via botanical research
great whetfin+ is better than sex 8:20 this one is critical, when the bird is in the air, flash dunk it, if you do not you're going to wonder very quickly why they're suddenly immune to flashes, you will lose hunts because of this mechanic, you can even flash dunk things like Alatreon, who you do not want to have build up a complete immunity to flashes.
...with mushroomancer x3 + widerange x5, you can take significantly less amount of items as a sort of healer/dps combo into multiplayer (not to mention the benefits of the secret skill that Quick Eating has, effectively [approximately-] doubling the amount of consumables you have)
Made a comfy SnS set with Divine blessing, wide range, free meal, quick eat, earplugs, and other supportive skills to bring during multiplayer where i just eat potions in the corner. Nobody has died on my watch yet, except for that time when an underequipped host went solo and got 2 shot by a Lunastra before I got near enough to heal.
Put whetfish scales on your radial menu, it's free speed sharpening and you can get a quick sharpen in between many monsters attack cycles. I want to point out that sushifish scales don't just heal your red health bar, they heal for a set amount of health even if you have little to no red health. The healing values are 50 health for sushifish scale, and 100 health for great sushifish scale both of which are about 50% more than their potion counterparts. And they're instant. The only disadvantage is the higher scavenging requirment in acquiring them and being unable to craft mid hunt. There are times I go out with my fishing pole to farm fish scales and I used the argosy to also help me acquire more fish scales since I didn't really need monster parts or money.
Keep in mind though that for every item you bring, it is 1 less thing you can pick up in the hunt. In the very endgame this doesn't really matter, but for actual new players and those progressing through Iceborne, I'd strongly consider trimming much of the fat in these loadouts so that you can grab more things earlier to start a stockpile sooner. For example, bringing only 2 slots worth of healing (Potion, Mega Potion, Max Potion or Ancient Potion) and no extra crafting materials. You don't really go through 10 Mega potions in a hunt beyond maybe you're first encounter with a monster. Armourskin and Adamant Seed / Pills are not really that useful. The goal is to prevent getting hit, not reduce the damage you take when you get hit. Most of the use cases for these items are also cases where you can avoid the attack by a roll making it useless. Similarly Armourcharm and Armourtalon give such a tiny increase in defence that I personally don't think they are ever worth it. Only bring Demondrug, Might Seed and Might Powder if you're actually comfortable and willing to use them. No reason to lose 3 slots if you never actually use the buffs. Bringing 2 traps to a fight is great but if you're not actively using traps for openings, only captures, then you really only need 1. Also all capture quests will give you a shock trap in the box at camp so if you're only capturing when it's required, little point in wasting more slots for traps and tranq bombs. Bombs are also similar where they are only used when monsters are knocked or sleeping. If you never put them to sleep or don't use them while knocked, don't bring them. 2 slots of healing, Herbal Medicine, Nullberries, Flash Pods, Dung Pods, Powercharm and Powertalon are really the only "required" things to hunt. I personally always bring Tranqs, a Shock Trap and Demondrug, Might Powder and Might Seed as well as Whetfish Scales for mid-fight sharpening. The rest of the items have much less use cases.
Making a separate item loadout for expedition and guiding lands farming is pretty standard. This is for hunts, and you never want to waste time in a hunt gathering or farming anything.
@@GoBlueHTB I dunno. Grabbing things as you go while progressing in a pack rat game. I'd guess the majority of people grab while hunting and barely do expeditions. Compared to never grabbing and spending time running expeditions to restock. I could be wrong but while going through the story for the first time I feel confident that is how most players will play. Like I said in my previous comment, in the end game you'll have tons of everything and no need to pick up anything and therefore no need to have spare inventory slots.
@@zabrac1566 Why would you bring herbal medicine if the monster you're fighting doesn't have poison? Likewise for nullberries, they are pointless if you are not at risk of blights. And if you think defense is useless because you shouldn't be getting hit in the first place, then shouldn't status cures also be useless? In reality players get hit, even good ones.
I agree with you. I always take the bare minimum items in early game hunts specifically to gather while hunting . Once the harvest box is expanded and my stockpile is built up I'll use full item load out.
Quick Note: The "item bar" is actually not randomly organized. Its based on the order you put items into your Inventory. Left to Right, Top to Bottom. Also for newer players its very important to know that some of these inventories can be really difficult to upkeep. For example lets say that you routinely take ~10 minutes to hunt a monster while keeping 100% buff uptime with the very first inventory shown. You need: 4x Bitter Bug, 4x Honey, 2x Mandragora, 7x Might Seeds, 3x God Bugs, 1x Adamant Seed, and 2x Dash Extract () This assumes that you never heal even a single time which isn't very realistic for most players. I like the setup to some degree but its not something I would bring with me all of the time. It to me like you are using either a save editor or some mod to increase your item count by +1000 which isn't exactly fair to new players watching this video.
once you start doing guiding lands steamworks gives you hundreds and hundreds of free mega/max/ancient potions, tranq bombs, mega bombs and dusts of life + steam tickets which are fodder for melding any other consumables you'd ever need AND botanical research/argosy/tailraider safari give you access to another stream of free crafting mats for consumables. those numbers are completely normal lil bro you sound like you've never played iceborne
Yeah, seeing everything around 1k and a majority of them sitting right at 999 was really fishy and looked like a save editor to me. Even the fish scales. Having a little less than 999 of those is actually insane. lol
Unfortunatenly I had lost my PC save file and since I didn't want to start over (given I had already done that, having spent already 1K+ hours on Playstation alone before the PC release) I had a friend send over his save file which was at the start of Iceborne, which was modded. I never went through the trouble of deleting the items but I get what you mean
Ok for you new cats, there’s one thing I can say and thats you don’t have to carry all them heals especially the mega potions and potions you won’t even use half that stuff. It’s the dust of life I would bring if you’re running with a group
Another solution is to take Mushroomancer, then you only need 10 Mandragora and 2 Max potions (Giving you 12 max potions). Thus saving a lot of space and removing the crafting aspect while in a fight. You also don't need speed eater as using a Max potion / Mandragora only takes roughly 1.4 seconds compared to a Mega potion that takes 4+ seconds and only heals for 70.
Dang, watching all this ”tutorial” video really makes me feel like newcomer to the game all over again. Well, it's a good thing though, especially with the Return to World thing, it's nice guide for new player and a nice refresher for returning hunter
Great Sushifish Scales are good, but they are a pain in the ass to farm, so it's not realistic to use them reliably in every hunt. As a matter of fact, I only use them with wide-range during Escaton to carry newbies because it's the best thing for wide-range healing without bringing Mega Pots and wasting 3 slots for fast eating.
I only use them for hard hunts, but they are amazing underutilized items. I do farm regular sushifish and replace potions with them so I can use them on the radial menu with ease.
Please consider making a progression guide should we just follow the main quests or do some other things first to unlock things fasteer etc etc . Also many of us new players have some questions like we are told capturing monsters is better than killing and vice versa . Also if we google , we get like 4-5 year old forum posts and guide and we don't know if they are outdated or DLC exclusive
As a rule of thumb you should do the optional quests with the speech bubble as they are requests from specific NPCs. Those usually either give new tools or upgrades to facilities. Capturing Vs carving is situational, as different materials can have better odds from either carving or capturing. In MH:W the odds are hidden, meaning that you might want to search the odds for a specific material you are after.
To be a good hunter knows how to find things to keep you alive, herb make potions and then find honey and in many areas they are close together. I say maybe bring 4 honey to make med+ so the given free health potion give more
Also poison smoke bombs. Your polico sleeps a monster, you use 2-5 of your poison bombs, place your barrel bombs on a nearby wall and flinch shot them onto said wall. This is better than any wakeup hit on any weapon. Monsters who even have 300 poison resistance like the black dragon Alteron I have been able to poison with poison smoke bombs. Unless you are already using a poison weapon, bring these bombs . Because of this an insect glaive with palico support can inflict every status on a foe, use a blast or paralysis glaive, use the opposite blunt kinsect, give your palico a sleep weapon and use the poison smoke bombs. Mount the monster and that is all 6 status (blast, paralysis, sleep, poison, stun, and mounting) in one hunt. If you can only choose 1 I would go with paralysis over blast kinsect
Explain to me how sending the monster into your bombs and a wall is better than any wake up attack, when you can do a wake up attack and still send them into the bombs and wall after. And you get no bonus of doing it your way since the first attack is what gets increased damage waking them up, which in your case is the clutch claw which loses tons of damage.
@@Impulsiveveins a mid fight sleep from a palico means the monster is enraged and there isn't enough time to both do a wake up and flinch shot. If you find them sleeping naturally in their nest, if you could do both then that would be better. But if you reach a certain amount of damage output that can enrage the monster, preventing you from flinch shooting them. It isn't the flinch shot damage that is so powerful it is the opening to do your best combos that is better than any wakeup
I'd rather not recommend the power item except Demondrug + Armorskin. the reason is simple: the most important thing is your own playstyle. hit and run? hit and guard? counterattack? support and heal? all of those playstyles require you to chill and not be reckless. other items besides demondrug and armorskin have duration, which will disturb your playstyle and make you think "I'm gonna use the effect of the item efficiently before the effect expires" and guess what? the monster attack pattern won't always let you use those effects efficiently which leads to what reckless players usually do: GS mains will spam true charge blade but often miss the hit LS mains will spam the weeb slash but often miss the timing and die Some of the GS, L, GL, SnS, and CB mains will try to tank powerful monster attacks but forget to check their remaining health etc what new players should do isn't know what items to bring, but simply: > Know your weapon and what combo suits you the most > Read the monster attack pattern > Abuse monster's weakness > Counter monster's strength > Unlock mantles that suit your playstyle > Max out palico gadgets if you play solo > Grind as heck to don new armor and weapons
I think it's good to get in the habit of using items early so by the time they start hunting the hardest monsters they aren't trying to learn how to use items on the fly and most likely forgetting to use them.
i been trying to find a early game load out low rank most this load out don't work for early game so took idea and setup auto craft low potion and mega potion and auto craft up to max potion if i'm running around will auto craft stuff to make max potion for me for later on i don't know about rest stuff but i can't just make them or much of them yet
The armor charm and talon are not really necessary for all hunts I've found since the amount of armor you need to survive is way more than what those provide.
Max Potions should not be even near your loadout when starting off. Ancient potions even less. For fuck's sake you don't even down demon and armor drugs at the start of the quest until like deeo into HR. Just get pots, mega pots, the trapping things + tranq bombs, literal shit you can sling if necessary, flasbombs and MEGA Barrel bombs. Noone gives a shit about any other barrel bomb.
Why are you bringing a trap but no tranq bombs? Also you missed null berries, and astera jerky. If you dont have blight resistance they’re pretty much a requirement
i dont think armor talon and charm is worth the item slot, sure you want best stat possible but 30 flat armor is just not worth especially on late game, attack talon and in the other hand will scale with the weapon's base raw and equal to 3 and 2 point of attack boost to a total of 5 point (+15 stat wise) this also applies to the other defense and attack buff, its more worth to just bring attack buff than defense buff especially late game, because on late you have 800-1100 defense anyway, and if you use ranged the defense is penalized by 30% so its even more not worth the hassle to bring defense buff and on early game you wont be able to craft both attack and defense buff, so its better to just invest on full damage while training to be gitgud at dodging, and yes, i know you will get hit anyway, but if the monster flinch often because of the damage you wont be damaged as much and maybe you ask "what should i bring with the extra slot then?" you can bring food(ration and steaks), antidote/herbal medicine (to cure poison) , both traps and their craft ingredients, barel bombs, dung bombs(to make large monster go away, didnt work on elder), and other usefull stuff, and you ALWAYS leave at least 3 slot empty, especially on siege mission, "why?" you ask, to be able to take the item from THE BLUE CHEST of course, you can get 4 extra free potion(first aid med on LR/HR and first aid med+ on MR) and 2 free cool/hotdrink if you on volcanic/hoarfrost region, you also given a free EZ shock trap and 4 EZ tranq bomb/ammo on capture mission, and siege mission will give also give EZ max potion and EZ Life Powder
My item load out for most of the game consited of potions and mega potions sometimes nullberries and after all i think it is easily enough to beat base game and most of iceborn
Small correction: "Mega demondrug gives 7 AP, so basically 20 % stronger". 7 is not 20 % higher than 5, is 40 % higuer so the statment should be ""..so basically 40 % stronger"
it increases your raw damage, which then gets multiplied by your weapon type in the status display. That's actually all the multiplier does is change the number in status since Raw Damage is what's used in all the damage calculations.
Help, I'm stuck in the "choosing the weapon loop" - even though I am occasionally killing monsters, and making some progress, I never feel like I am "playing right" so I keep adjusting the key-binds, watching tutorials, and practicing in the training area...
Just got into mhw I finished main story felt kinda strong upgraded my new gear and weapon went into master rank got absolutely destroyed on every quest so far 😅
Nope, no reason to when you have a lot of items already. His loadout in this video is super over-kill. Once you get a little comfy, most hunts will use a couple mega potions, the drugs once, and maybe a trap or some niche healing item (nullberry, antidote, w/e). The botany tree is OP and covers 99% of all of the gathering you will need to do. End-game botany tree can pump out 32 honey per hunt. If you use 32 mega potions in a single hunt, that is a *massive* skill issue, especially if you're doing so consistently. Most hunts have a very low resource cost :)
My friend and I played through basically all of MHW together and, for the longest time, never used Farcasters. I don't know when exactly it was, but safe to say that Fatalis at the VERY least convinced us of how amazing powerful Farcasters are.
they do, I just don't bring them together as I value offensive items more than defensive ones. As such I bring either the adamant seed OR the powder, depending on whether or not I'm in multiplayer
Are there any items you vouch for that you think I missed?
Got more guides and streams coming soon!
I’ve learned things and I’ve been playing for ummm a few thousand hours! Thank you ❤
Do you not need Hot Drinks?
the ones in the supply box will suffice, pretty much every time. And if not you can easily find some shrooms throughout the map, not to mention going back to camp to resupply @@thedarkemissary
You forgot the map
You missed flash bugs instead of flash pods.
I get what you're going for with just giving a breakdown of how you're thinking when making an item loadout, but I think a better example of how you're thinking is to make several loadouts that just have one or two things you're thinking of with the 4 inv slots used by the charms. So there would be a loadout for 20 health potions, a loadout for 9 mega barrel bombs, a loadout for 10 flashbugs that you can craft into single pods, shoot, then not have to switch off to your regular pods. You even gave a good example of being able to create space in your inventory for crafting with the demon drugs and armor skins only being 1 stack, meaning that you will have an empty space to craft in once you drink.
I think you can make this video a lot more informative
This guy came out of nowhere to save us new players. It feels like the game just released and there is a time traveler messiah making us better hunters
You can also check out gameconomists item loadout guide, it's as good as this also ❤

The TRUE endgame!@@blpitts11
BASED
Lol i run around as gerald from the witcher or have Dante's red gear from dmc 😂
Just a note to players thinking that +15 attack is really small. This is 15 RAW attack which is then multiplied by which weapon you are using. This also goes for the attack and defense seeds, drugs, powders, and pills. RAW dmg is before weapon multiplier.
What if I have a ridiculous build that doesn't attack?
I've solo cleared almost all endgame content with a rarity 6 weapon, because all it's there for is elemental boost and gem slots. The kinsect does all the killing.
@@Danceofmasksthat's goddamn hilarious, can you share the build pls
If that's the case I'm going to need to speak with your bug Dad - can you put him on the phone please?@@Danceofmasks
@@ahis3233 I thought I replied, but yt probably tossed it for being too long.
All you need is an element boost IG and powerful kinsects of every element. Then just be as tanky as possible.
Execution is clutch claw tenderize to get top tier slinger ammo, use ammo to buff kinsect, sting, recall for stamina, reapply buff and get more ammo as needed.
I have 2 videos of build in action in case you want to see it.
Is it a 15% attack boost then?
One Tip: SKIP THE MEGA POTIONS! They take too long to fully consume without investing into Speed Eating and in MR they give you 4 *free* ones in every quest anyway. Just take the Max and Ancient Potions and the mats to craft more Max's, it'll give you a much better grasp on Effective HP and Effective Damage rather than topping yourself up with a Mega every one or two hits. Doesn't matter how many Mega's you chug if the monster you're fighting will always kill you in 3 hits.
Two Tip: Take ONE Might Pill with you on Elder Dragon hunts for the wake-up bomb in its final area (assuming it makes it there). That extra buff is really noticeable on a wake-up hit.
No Mushroomancer mention? kek
Just a quick note on Demondrug and Mega Demondrug, they last the whole hunt, unless you die. If you cart the buff is removed and you’ll need to consume another demondrug, the same goes for Armorskin/Mega Armorskin. I carry 2 or 3 in my loadout for this reason in case i get smacked around by a monster
Bro I absolutely LOVE that radial menu setup you got going on! Im gonna definitely try and use it for my character
Man I wish the descriptions of these included the uptime. I had no idea the Demon and Armor potions last the whole hunt while the might pill only lasts 20 seconds. Thanks for this video
This video came pretty handy to me as I'm a fellow new comer to the game and my loadouts as radial menus are a complete mess. Specially since I never know what good items brings for every situation. With that said, now I will surely have everything way more well optimized and ready to go for each hunt. Thank you so much!
A very useful guide, even 500 hours in, i learned some tips and i'll probably change a few of my loadouts and radial menus.
I'm adding a quick tip about Alatreon and Fatalis specifically : you should make dedicated loadouts for those specifically, as they require some specifi items that you don't use often anywhere else. So don't forget to bring your Astera jerkeys for Alatreon and your smoke bombs alongside some materials to craft more for Fatalis, as you'll be using those all the time. Smoke bombs can alos be useful to bring for Safi if you're still making your way through the game and don't feel comfortable keeping the aggro for too long (granted, better equipped and skilled teammates should get it instead of you, but still).
As a returning player and half a new player, thank you for the vids. Legend.
i think during progression of the base game, its nice to carry 8 mega potions, 4 antidotes, 4 nullberries, one of each traps and tranqs, 1 flashpod and about 4 dung pods.
Itll cover 99% of what youll ruin into, and itll allow you to keep picking up items which is helpful for early game bounties, like herb and honey gathering
i never really thought about moving the demon drug and the like to the beginning of the item bar, thats a nice tip
Damn just killed Vaal last night and had no idea about those charms.
i use pills instead of seeds when playing sns because you can pop them quickly, i love playing with items with sns, i am sad that there are no oils, you can only realy use the pills and poison bombs
Oils would make farming weapons with certain effects completely useless. MH is not a game that needs that
A+ Content. I’ve played an embarrassing amount of MH and I still learned a lot in a small amount of time. Subscribed.
Thank you so much! I appreciate it ^^
DARK HERO the knowledge is appreciated
I’ve been playing MHW since launch day and this is still VERY helpful. Subbed.
Appreciate it dude!!
I've found that I can get better stats by cooking food with the (L) buff, mostly defense or elem resistance but attack if I have a good feel for the fight. Instead of wasting the stat boost in exchange for +50 health, I take mega nutrients to top off my health. Saving my max potions for critically fast heals. If you cart you'll be by your box and can eat more nutrients. Anyways. 10 mega potions plus 10 more to craft is enough for me for base game monsters.
Also keep astral jerky on you, the jerky cures bleed but also it heals ALL of your RED health bar damage with one quick bite. Getting hit by end game monsters can leave you with up to 75% red health bar damage that can near instantly be healed with the jerky. Effectively healing you faster than potions, and oftentimes more than aega will heal you in those cases. Hope this helps!
I heavily advise using multiple item load outs. First because I can't imagine why you would need that many healing items, usually I can get away with just ancient and max potions if I'm carrying health booster, also because some things like antidotes, cool drink, and traps are situational, and some other things value depends on your weapon. And yeah, 95% of the time, especially in the endgame you don't NEED, extra inventory space, so bring everything, there are definitely situations where you do want to have space to pick things up.
Okay so it's not only me that thought the insane amount of healing items were insane. I usually just bring the ten potions and ten mega potions. If any more than that is needed then there's a serious lack of skill going on. Well, that's how I've been doing at least.
Cap/ no cap/ guiding lands load outs and then specific ones of lbg or hbg.
@@Summer-j7r1u yep basically the same ones I have. Except I don't use bowguns ever and I have one for expeditions for catching rare creatures.
@@TyrBarghest Just out of curiosity. How far into the game are you
You can also save an empty loadout for a quick way to empty your inventory. Useful when gathering supplies for a longer period.
My brothers and I use Farcasters as our "pause" buttons too. You can't pause World so if your doing something and need to go away from the game its the only way to keep your hunter safe.
actually this is a life saving tip!!!
Just started up and I’m doing a fresh play through( new weapon and new save) with my roommate who’s playing for the first time and these guides are saving me SOOO much time trying to help get back into the swing of things.
I played this game when it first came out but I started playing it again like 3 days ago and once again I’m hooked. This helped me a lot since I’ve forgotten a lot but I’m enjoying it a lot. Thanks for the guide 👍🏽
Wow, I just watched your video and I'm blown away by the insightful points you made! Honestly, I couldn't think of anything better or more useful to add. Your analysis was spot on, and I appreciate the depth and clarity with which you presented your ideas. It's rare to come across content that not only captures your attention but also leaves you with valuable takeaways. Kudos to you for creating such high-quality and thought-provoking content!
I would like to clarify something you said about the demondrugs/armorskins. You said that it lasts the duration of the fight which is not exactly accurate. It lasts until you faint so it is worth bringing several in each hunt if you know it is a tough hunt and you will likely faint. Just a minor clarification for new players.
I think the idea is that if they die, they restock their loadout at camp. That's slow, so personally I bring a full stack of the drugs, but there's merit in wanting open inventory slots to grab some extra resources if your item box isn't overflowing.
@@SirenXD. That makes sense but one mega demondrug takes the same space as 5 so I don't see the purpose in only taking one.
@@TheInnerHollow895 You take the 1 at the start, it frees the inventory space. If you die, you re-get the loadout and drink the 1, and it frees the inventory space.
@@SirenXD. Ah okay that makes more sense. I typically don't do resource gathering in a hunt so I didn't consider that.
@@TheInnerHollow895 Yeah I don't either. I don't think the micro-optimization is worth it personally -- if you don't have the resources just bring a tighter loadout (10 mega potions, niche healing as necessary) so you can gather. Botany tree OP tho, so for folks with a decent item box already, there's just no reason to gather herbs or whatever.
I'd recommend for players to bring about 7/10 items like Honey, Godbugs, Blue mushrooms etc. You are likely to find at least one of these in the duration of a hunt, so that way you are still able to gather a few of these items along the way instead of being maxed out from the start of a hunt.
Realistically, this wont be able to be filled out till later in the game anyway. New players are still fairly limited on what they have access to till they progress.
My new return playthrough, i have been running half inventory. Not because I want to, but I just dont have a lot of tools yet.
Yeah, I could have farmed mats, but I find with the provided resources and ammo every mission (something I used to always ignore) has been pretty helpful.
Especially running around and picking up honey to upgrade those First-Aid-Meds to the + version via autocraft. Free good heals :D
I’ve got over 1000 hours in MHW and I’m still learning stuff. Thanks bro!
Thank you for your guides man ,really helpcome for someone that came back to world and cant remember everything.keep up the good work :)
Thank you so much I'm glad you like them
For higher difficulty hunts, and arena hunts I take both Sushifish scales and Mega potions (no potions and honey) and the scales become my primary healing source as I edit the radial shortcut menu to reflect those changes. The scales are just superior to potions in every way except ease of scavenging and mid fight crafting. Doing this also reduces the need to bring mandragora and Mega Nutrients for max potions, although I still bring 2 max potions for emergencies I rarely have to use both. This saves a lot of item pouch space for other useful items that can be swapped out depending on what you're hunting including barrel bombs, smoke bombs, poison smoke bombs (which can hilariously poison large monsters), pods, traps, etc you get the point.
Also, I always take whetfish scales, no matter the hunt, and they're also on the radial menu for quick sharpening midfight without fear which can really speed up your hunt times. I save the Great Whetfish for hardest hunts
The pills are more useful if you run Item Prolonger (one of my favorite skills)
The powders are still useful in singleplayer if you go out of your way to collect tailraiders.
For fun I'd occasionally use smoke bombs to get out of monster sight briefly, and it's especially good to use them if you have earplugs since monsters like to roar first when they "resee" you. If you're a gunlancer wanting to get free Wyvern Fire hits in, smoke bombs can help!
As a Wide Range 5 HH user I sincerley thank you for this!
You’re my new favorite MHW TH-camr. Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you so much, that means a lot to me!
Hell yea bro, it's like we back in 2019. Same content being remade, same game being replayed. Loving it.
Edit: I'm about 500 hours into MHW. I learned at least 4 new things from this video.
I'd note a missed aspect of this guide is how expensive/inexpensive a lot of these items are, or the best ways to get a good supply of the staple items. The mega drugs are good examples of this, later on you can just meld for them but early on the minimal difference between the mega versions and the regular versions means its better to just use the regulars as the materials to make them are all easy to get and farmable via botanical research
great whetfin+ is better than sex
8:20 this one is critical, when the bird is in the air, flash dunk it, if you do not you're going to wonder very quickly why they're suddenly immune to flashes, you will lose hunts because of this mechanic, you can even flash dunk things like Alatreon, who you do not want to have build up a complete immunity to flashes.
...with mushroomancer x3 + widerange x5, you can take significantly less amount of items as a sort of healer/dps combo into multiplayer (not to mention the benefits of the secret skill that Quick Eating has, effectively [approximately-] doubling the amount of consumables you have)
Made a comfy SnS set with Divine blessing, wide range, free meal, quick eat, earplugs, and other supportive skills to bring during multiplayer where i just eat potions in the corner. Nobody has died on my watch yet, except for that time when an underequipped host went solo and got 2 shot by a Lunastra before I got near enough to heal.
Put whetfish scales on your radial menu, it's free speed sharpening and you can get a quick sharpen in between many monsters attack cycles.
I want to point out that sushifish scales don't just heal your red health bar, they heal for a set amount of health even if you have little to no red health. The healing values are 50 health for sushifish scale, and 100 health for great sushifish scale both of which are about 50% more than their potion counterparts. And they're instant. The only disadvantage is the higher scavenging requirment in acquiring them and being unable to craft mid hunt.
There are times I go out with my fishing pole to farm fish scales and I used the argosy to also help me acquire more fish scales since I didn't really need monster parts or money.
To truly become a veteran hunter is to have ur personal custom radial menu for melee and ranged weapons.
I thought I clicked on an old video lol! It’s nice to know World is very much alive!
Keep in mind though that for every item you bring, it is 1 less thing you can pick up in the hunt. In the very endgame this doesn't really matter, but for actual new players and those progressing through Iceborne, I'd strongly consider trimming much of the fat in these loadouts so that you can grab more things earlier to start a stockpile sooner. For example, bringing only 2 slots worth of healing (Potion, Mega Potion, Max Potion or Ancient Potion) and no extra crafting materials. You don't really go through 10 Mega potions in a hunt beyond maybe you're first encounter with a monster. Armourskin and Adamant Seed / Pills are not really that useful. The goal is to prevent getting hit, not reduce the damage you take when you get hit. Most of the use cases for these items are also cases where you can avoid the attack by a roll making it useless. Similarly Armourcharm and Armourtalon give such a tiny increase in defence that I personally don't think they are ever worth it.
Only bring Demondrug, Might Seed and Might Powder if you're actually comfortable and willing to use them. No reason to lose 3 slots if you never actually use the buffs. Bringing 2 traps to a fight is great but if you're not actively using traps for openings, only captures, then you really only need 1. Also all capture quests will give you a shock trap in the box at camp so if you're only capturing when it's required, little point in wasting more slots for traps and tranq bombs. Bombs are also similar where they are only used when monsters are knocked or sleeping. If you never put them to sleep or don't use them while knocked, don't bring them.
2 slots of healing, Herbal Medicine, Nullberries, Flash Pods, Dung Pods, Powercharm and Powertalon are really the only "required" things to hunt. I personally always bring Tranqs, a Shock Trap and Demondrug, Might Powder and Might Seed as well as Whetfish Scales for mid-fight sharpening. The rest of the items have much less use cases.
Making a separate item loadout for expedition and guiding lands farming is pretty standard. This is for hunts, and you never want to waste time in a hunt gathering or farming anything.
@@GoBlueHTB I dunno. Grabbing things as you go while progressing in a pack rat game. I'd guess the majority of people grab while hunting and barely do expeditions. Compared to never grabbing and spending time running expeditions to restock. I could be wrong but while going through the story for the first time I feel confident that is how most players will play.
Like I said in my previous comment, in the end game you'll have tons of everything and no need to pick up anything and therefore no need to have spare inventory slots.
@@zabrac1566 Why would you bring herbal medicine if the monster you're fighting doesn't have poison? Likewise for nullberries, they are pointless if you are not at risk of blights.
And if you think defense is useless because you shouldn't be getting hit in the first place, then shouldn't status cures also be useless? In reality players get hit, even good ones.
I agree with you. I always take the bare minimum items in early game hunts specifically to gather while hunting . Once the harvest box is expanded and my stockpile is built up I'll use full item load out.
Quick Note: The "item bar" is actually not randomly organized. Its based on the order you put items into your Inventory. Left to Right, Top to Bottom.
Also for newer players its very important to know that some of these inventories can be really difficult to upkeep. For example lets say that you routinely take ~10 minutes to hunt a monster while keeping 100% buff uptime with the very first inventory shown.
You need: 4x Bitter Bug, 4x Honey, 2x Mandragora, 7x Might Seeds, 3x God Bugs, 1x Adamant Seed, and 2x Dash Extract ()
This assumes that you never heal even a single time which isn't very realistic for most players. I like the setup to some degree but its not something I would bring with me all of the time. It to me like you are using either a save editor or some mod to increase your item count by +1000 which isn't exactly fair to new players watching this video.
once you start doing guiding lands steamworks gives you hundreds and hundreds of free mega/max/ancient potions, tranq bombs, mega bombs and dusts of life + steam tickets which are fodder for melding any other consumables you'd ever need AND botanical research/argosy/tailraider safari give you access to another stream of free crafting mats for consumables.
those numbers are completely normal lil bro you sound like you've never played iceborne
Yeah, seeing everything around 1k and a majority of them sitting right at 999 was really fishy and looked like a save editor to me. Even the fish scales. Having a little less than 999 of those is actually insane. lol
Unfortunatenly I had lost my PC save file and since I didn't want to start over (given I had already done that, having spent already 1K+ hours on Playstation alone before the PC release) I had a friend send over his save file which was at the start of Iceborne, which was modded.
I never went through the trouble of deleting the items but I get what you mean
You can manually reorder your item bar before and during a hunt though. Including the palico gadget and tailrider stuff
Tips, Use the sleep weapon on your palico so your Mega bomb is more usefull
Ok for you new cats, there’s one thing I can say and thats you don’t have to carry all them heals especially the mega potions and potions you won’t even use half that stuff. It’s the dust of life I would bring if you’re running with a group
Played for like 5k hours or sum and this guy teaching me hella god bless🙏🏼💋
Another solution is to take Mushroomancer, then you only need 10 Mandragora and 2 Max potions (Giving you 12 max potions). Thus saving a lot of space and removing the crafting aspect while in a fight. You also don't need speed eater as using a Max potion / Mandragora only takes roughly 1.4 seconds compared to a Mega potion that takes 4+ seconds and only heals for 70.
Dang, watching all this ”tutorial” video really makes me feel like newcomer to the game all over again. Well, it's a good thing though, especially with the Return to World thing, it's nice guide for new player and a nice refresher for returning hunter
Great video , makoto 3rd strike music aswel 💜
Even as a long time player I still found this helpful! Also how do your graphics look so good? Like Stygian zinogres claws glowing?
You’re a godsend for this video
What's an efficient way to farm mats for mega demondrug mega armorskin? Obviously I meld them, but constantly run our of materials for them
Great Sushifish Scales are good, but they are a pain in the ass to farm, so it's not realistic to use them reliably in every hunt. As a matter of fact, I only use them with wide-range during Escaton to carry newbies because it's the best thing for wide-range healing without bringing Mega Pots and wasting 3 slots for fast eating.
I only use them for hard hunts, but they are amazing underutilized items. I do farm regular sushifish and replace potions with them so I can use them on the radial menu with ease.
thanks bro
Please consider making a progression guide should we just follow the main quests or do some other things first to unlock things fasteer etc etc . Also many of us new players have some questions like we are told capturing monsters is better than killing and vice versa .
Also if we google , we get like 4-5 year old forum posts and guide and we don't know if they are outdated or DLC exclusive
As a rule of thumb you should do the optional quests with the speech bubble as they are requests from specific NPCs.
Those usually either give new tools or upgrades to facilities.
Capturing Vs carving is situational, as different materials can have better odds from either carving or capturing. In MH:W the odds are hidden, meaning that you might want to search the odds for a specific material you are after.
@@wk2337afaik capturing gives you more materials in general, no?
the attack and defense items are huge. did not know about those
As a MHW veteran this video was awesome
Thanks dude I appreciate it
Thank you for reminding me to actually make the loadouts 😅 I have been finishing HR and completely forgot that Dung pods, flash pods and bombs exist
Don’t forget screamer sacs, which force burrowing monsters such as Diablos to surface! Can be very useful situationally, depending on the hunt.
To be a good hunter knows how to find things to keep you alive, herb make potions and then find honey and in many areas they are close together. I say maybe bring 4 honey to make med+ so the given free health potion give more
Also poison smoke bombs. Your polico sleeps a monster, you use 2-5 of your poison bombs, place your barrel bombs on a nearby wall and flinch shot them onto said wall. This is better than any wakeup hit on any weapon. Monsters who even have 300 poison resistance like the black dragon Alteron I have been able to poison with poison smoke bombs. Unless you are already using a poison weapon, bring these bombs . Because of this an insect glaive with palico support can inflict every status on a foe, use a blast or paralysis glaive, use the opposite blunt kinsect, give your palico a sleep weapon and use the poison smoke bombs. Mount the monster and that is all 6 status (blast, paralysis, sleep, poison, stun, and mounting) in one hunt. If you can only choose 1 I would go with paralysis over blast kinsect
Explain to me how sending the monster into your bombs and a wall is better than any wake up attack, when you can do a wake up attack and still send them into the bombs and wall after. And you get no bonus of doing it your way since the first attack is what gets increased damage waking them up, which in your case is the clutch claw which loses tons of damage.
@@Impulsiveveins a mid fight sleep from a palico means the monster is enraged and there isn't enough time to both do a wake up and flinch shot. If you find them sleeping naturally in their nest, if you could do both then that would be better. But if you reach a certain amount of damage output that can enrage the monster, preventing you from flinch shooting them. It isn't the flinch shot damage that is so powerful it is the opening to do your best combos that is better than any wakeup
1:45 I think I accidentally sold one of mine, I looked and the one I need is 100 talons lol
Damn why did i find this video so late? I needed this when MHW came out because i used to use might pills with mighty seed 😢waste of slot/material
I always bring adamant seed because it can cleanse the defence down ailment, which nulberries cannot!
Good to know!
I'd rather not recommend the power item except Demondrug + Armorskin.
the reason is simple: the most important thing is your own playstyle.
hit and run?
hit and guard?
counterattack?
support and heal?
all of those playstyles require you to chill and not be reckless. other items besides demondrug and armorskin have duration, which will disturb your playstyle and make you think "I'm gonna use the effect of the item efficiently before the effect expires" and guess what? the monster attack pattern won't always let you use those effects efficiently which leads to what reckless players usually do:
GS mains will spam true charge blade but often miss the hit
LS mains will spam the weeb slash but often miss the timing and die
Some of the GS, L, GL, SnS, and CB mains will try to tank powerful monster attacks but forget to check their remaining health
etc
what new players should do isn't know what items to bring, but simply:
> Know your weapon and what combo suits you the most
> Read the monster attack pattern
> Abuse monster's weakness
> Counter monster's strength
> Unlock mantles that suit your playstyle
> Max out palico gadgets if you play solo
> Grind as heck to don new armor and weapons
I think it's good to get in the habit of using items early so by the time they start hunting the hardest monsters they aren't trying to learn how to use items on the fly and most likely forgetting to use them.
Aspiring team hunters, ALWAYS put ur Lifepowders (and Flashpods) as hotkeys in the radial menu
i been trying to find a early game load out low rank most this load out don't work for early game so took idea and setup auto craft low potion and mega potion and auto craft up to max potion if i'm running around will auto craft stuff to make max potion for me for later on i don't know about rest stuff but i can't just make them or much of them yet
Why you use immunizer than astera jerky? Jerky eaten instantly, heal red health bar, and also increase heal.
This message is simply a support message.
OMG ALL OF THESE ITEMS WERE A A MUST IN MY LOADOUT!!!! , thank you so much for this guide Mr Dark Hero , this is a like for me !!!
I literally was just wondering what items were best to use, what a coincidence haha
I didn't know the MegaDemon Drug lasted the entire hunt. I thought it was like the powders.
I've actually never bothered to use the blind thing lol
Thanks hero I'm looking for this I'm new to world can u do same thing for gunners loadout please
This may be a dumb question, but how do you manage the item slots when out gathering plants, mushrooms and bugs during a hunt?
Demon drug and armor skin only last intil you die not the whole hunt
I made it to mh rank 100 without worrying about items just load up on mega potions and hope I'm good enough at dodging. I have the charms tho.
I didn't even know Item charms were a thing, I played the Base Game and most of Iceborne without it..
Me: *Leaves base with 19 items in my pouch for whatever may come*
The armor charm and talon are not really necessary for all hunts I've found since the amount of armor you need to survive is way more than what those provide.
The amount of youtube content coming out for this game again makes it feel like the game just released lmao
Max Potions should not be even near your loadout when starting off. Ancient potions even less.
For fuck's sake you don't even down demon and armor drugs at the start of the quest until like deeo into HR.
Just get pots, mega pots, the trapping things + tranq bombs, literal shit you can sling if necessary, flasbombs and MEGA Barrel bombs. Noone gives a shit about any other barrel bomb.
Just a small FYI , going from 5 to 7 is an increase of 40% not 20% :)
did i miss the part where he explained immunizers? hope do they work endgame or whatever
Why are you bringing a trap but no tranq bombs?
Also you missed null berries, and astera jerky. If you dont have blight resistance they’re pretty much a requirement
Please watch the video.
sushifish scale is a nice healing item
I wish asmond knew about the farcaster, it could have saved him so many times
i dont think armor talon and charm is worth the item slot, sure you want best stat possible but 30 flat armor is just not worth especially on late game, attack talon and in the other hand will scale with the weapon's base raw and equal to 3 and 2 point of attack boost to a total of 5 point (+15 stat wise)
this also applies to the other defense and attack buff, its more worth to just bring attack buff than defense buff especially late game, because on late you have 800-1100 defense anyway, and if you use ranged the defense is penalized by 30% so its even more not worth the hassle to bring defense buff
and on early game you wont be able to craft both attack and defense buff, so its better to just invest on full damage while training to be gitgud at dodging, and yes, i know you will get hit anyway, but if the monster flinch often because of the damage you wont be damaged as much
and maybe you ask "what should i bring with the extra slot then?" you can bring food(ration and steaks), antidote/herbal medicine (to cure poison) , both traps and their craft ingredients, barel bombs, dung bombs(to make large monster go away, didnt work on elder), and other usefull stuff, and you ALWAYS leave at least 3 slot empty, especially on siege mission, "why?" you ask, to be able to take the item from THE BLUE CHEST of course, you can get 4 extra free potion(first aid med on LR/HR and first aid med+ on MR) and 2 free cool/hotdrink if you on volcanic/hoarfrost region, you also given a free EZ shock trap and 4 EZ tranq bomb/ammo on capture mission, and siege mission will give also give EZ max potion and EZ Life Powder
My item load out for most of the game consited of potions and mega potions sometimes nullberries and after all i think it is easily enough to beat base game and most of iceborn
duude I didn't even know the armor/power talon/charm existed with 200+ hours in 💀
Please please make a updated great sword guide please
W8, you said that Demondrug last for a whole hunt. But I believe the buff is lost if you die also??
Thank you
Small correction: "Mega demondrug gives 7 AP, so basically 20 % stronger". 7 is not 20 % higher than 5, is 40 % higuer so the statment should be ""..so basically 40 % stronger"
it increases your raw damage, which then gets multiplied by your weapon type in the status display. That's actually all the multiplier does is change the number in status since Raw Damage is what's used in all the damage calculations.
Help, I'm stuck in the "choosing the weapon loop" - even though I am occasionally killing monsters, and making some progress, I never feel like I am "playing right" so I keep adjusting the key-binds, watching tutorials, and practicing in the training area...
How'd you get that item box up there? Is that a mod or something that shows up later?
Just got into mhw I finished main story felt kinda strong upgraded my new gear and weapon went into master rank got absolutely destroyed on every quest so far 😅
This thumbnail look so much like WoW YT’ers thumbnails it’s hilarious 😂
Wow, thanks! Your loadouts take up all inv slots, dont you loot anything during a hunt? Berries, herb etc.
Nope, no reason to when you have a lot of items already. His loadout in this video is super over-kill. Once you get a little comfy, most hunts will use a couple mega potions, the drugs once, and maybe a trap or some niche healing item (nullberry, antidote, w/e). The botany tree is OP and covers 99% of all of the gathering you will need to do. End-game botany tree can pump out 32 honey per hunt. If you use 32 mega potions in a single hunt, that is a *massive* skill issue, especially if you're doing so consistently. Most hunts have a very low resource cost :)
My friend and I played through basically all of MHW together and, for the longest time, never used Farcasters.
I don't know when exactly it was, but safe to say that Fatalis at the VERY least convinced us of how amazing powerful Farcasters are.
Btw I hate fishing for whet stone scales. Is there is good spot to farm them.
So... Damage powder and seed work together, but defense powder and seed do not? 6:18
they do, I just don't bring them together as I value offensive items more than defensive ones. As such I bring either the adamant seed OR the powder, depending on whether or not I'm in multiplayer
How did you get so much wetfish fins?
Bro's got stacks of 999 demondrugs, and I think I have enough sitting on 30's
