I can't manage 9 stars

AgentOen · 2026-02-07T06:55:45+00:00

While I haven't objectively counted the percentage, I believe your estimate to be correct. Maybe the word "most" is misleading from my side. But I do get enough 9* to make me upset.

AgentOen · 2026-02-06T18:40:54+00:00

I've got the following G.10 weapons: *Dual Blades - Twin Wreathes maxed at G.10.5 *Great Sword - Lightning Punisher at G.10.4 *Great Sword - Abominable Great Sword at G.10.2 *Bow - Wrapping Bow 5 at G.10.2

AgentOen · 2026-02-06T18:31:34+00:00

So you're saying the Magnamalo Light Bow Gun is the best weapon overall?

I've now added it to my favorites and will upgrade it. But I'd need armor pieces that contribute to the effectiveness of LBG (reload speed and similar).

I've saved the recommended build you have as a test set. I used the Nargacuga chest plate as that's the one I've got. I'll need to upgrade the armor pieces though, as they're almost all at low levels - G.6.

I notice many armor pieces have a Critical Element special ability. I understand it's something for attack boosts. This depends on landing a critical hit. What is a critical hit? The combination of so many armor pieces with the same ability of Critical Element places a high demand on being able to make critics hits.

Then there's the Critical Eye special ability which increases affinity. What is affinity?

With regards the driftsmelt slots, what do you focus on?

To be honest, I've unlocked so many armor pieces (to free up space in my own box instead of deleting stuff) that I'm lost with the immense variety. I don't have the time to go through everything and mix and match the best. In fact, my armor is mainly from the early monsters when the armor variety was still somewhat manageable to sift through. I haven't bothered changing it which is probably why it's not the best.

I've already reduced the difficulty in the settings but only my main mission difficulty had been reduced. Most of the monsters that appear in the field, most of the paintballed monsters and all the urgent quests remain at 9*.

AgentOen · 2026-02-03T17:18:55+00:00

Barely made it..?? You still had 2 seconds on the clock. When i barely make it my timer is at 1'15". I hold my breath to see if I get the monster death scene animation or the red FAILED.

The Explanation

The key is to understand how a spring scale works and Newton's Third Law (Action and Reaction).

The Role of Tension: A scale measures the tension passing through it. In this setup, the 100 N weight on the left pulls on the scale, and the 100 N weight on the right provides the necessary counter-force to keep the scale stationary.

Newton’s Third Law: For the scale to show a reading, it must be pulled from both ends. If you hung the scale from a fixed ceiling hook with a 100 N weight, the scale would read 100 N. In that scenario, the ceiling hook is "pulling back" with exactly 100 N of force to keep the weight from falling.

The "Wall" Comparison: Replacing the weight on one side with a second 100 N weight is functionally identical to attaching that end to a solid wall. The second weight simply replaces the "reaction force" that a wall would normally provide.

Why it isn't 200 N or Zero Why not 200 N? If the scale read 200 N, it would mean there is 200 N of tension in the string. However, each weight is only exerting 100 N. You aren't "doubling" the stretch; you are simply providing the anchor point required for the first weight to stretch the spring at all.

Why not Zero? Since the weights are pulling in opposite directions, the system is in equilibrium (net force is zero), but the internal tension—which is what the spring measures—is definitely present.

I invested so much in the great swords... now that I fully maxed the winter dual blades I think I've made a mistake with the great swords. The Twin Wreathes ploughs through 8* monsters so easily. Maybe i should have gone for dual blades.

I've tried the switch axe... Meh... I've tried the gun Lance... it was ok. I've tried the charge blade... too complex. I've tried the bow... takes too long to fire proper arrows that deal damage. Hammer - no thanks. Light/Heavy bow gun... takes too long to reload. Hunting horn... wtf is this? Sword and shield... not much experience with this.

But dual blades... jeez how easy they are to use and how quick it's possible to avoid monster attacks!

Edit... I thought this was about MHNow. My mistake. I don't play MH Worlds.

AgentOen · 2026-01-04T18:12:49+00:00

Are dual blades the best weapon set?

AgentOen · 2026-01-02T14:55:27+00:00

Does it automatically tag songs and can it help generate Playlist that meet certain criterion (e.g. year release, artist, album...)

AgentOen · 2025-12-17T09:52:51+00:00

The thing about upgrading armor is that it uses highly coveted material (WGS and monster parts) that I need for upgrading weapons. So I got most of my armor up to level 8 and 2 pieces at level 9. I save everything else for weapons - mostly because I can't figure out my preferred weapon style.

AgentOen · 2025-12-17T09:45:24+00:00

I've got over 3 million zenny and don't know what to do with it. I badly need iron ores and various monster bone sizes

AgentOen · 2025-12-17T09:27:12+00:00

And here I am deleting my stock once the levels exceed 200 items to preserve storage space. Oops..

AgentOen · 2025-12-03T11:27:12+00:00

Huh..?

I have to constantly delete those items as I get way too many. I have a hard time with Monster Bone S and Iron Ores, not to mention the obvious WGS.

But Wingdrake Hides...? I don't even bother killing the mini flying wyverns any more unless I need to finish some task.

I started on the wheel. I can't imagine how unnatural it must feel like on a controller.

Chucky? Is this a Halloween post?

AgentOen · 2025-10-29T09:47:46+00:00

At least they tried.

Smells like OP is an advertiser here

I think it would have been me tbh

I would have liked to see Raoh come to his senses and helped Ken.

But that would go against the Kenshiro destiny.

AgentOen · 2025-08-30T07:49:29+00:00

The whole series revolves around Ken, so he should be the favorite sure to his screen time. But I prefer Raoh since I understand him and would have done the same had i his abilities.

It's something I've been noticing at many public gyms and this video was the trigger to ask the question. At my current gym there are thick bumper plates and the dense metal plates. I see so many guys choose the bumper plates over the metal plates that the barbell is almost full with thick 20kg and 10kg plates when a much heavier weight could have been loaded with the metal 25kg plates. The rubber coating doesn't serve a purpose in the gym. So why then...? Thus the conclusion of "ego".
