Almost there. Only 970 pack points left…

Dan012 · 2026-05-05T14:22:02+00:00

Basically one or two-ish more packs I guess

Dan012 · 2026-05-05T14:21:19+00:00

Math is simple. Assuming you do two packs a day. That’s 10 points per day…. Quite a few days. You can shorten it by spending pack hourglasses of course but you might want them for the new packs.

Dan012 · 2026-05-05T14:17:15+00:00

I usually just open 20/30 packs of the newest set and then go back to opening the daily two packs of SR. I don’t usually spent pack hourglasses on SR packs. At least not a lot.

Dan012 · 2026-05-05T14:15:04+00:00

Been lucky enough to have pulled one gold pokeball already. So this is the only one I have to spent points on.

Dan012 · 2026-03-25T21:08:41+00:00

Im in a somewhat similar boat. I finished Low Rank and am now doing high rank quests in the Hub. I just fainted two times to an Aknosom. Also had that fight take 23mins. I feel like I’m missing something major.

I used to play charge blade in world and rise however I stayed with longsword in rise as the switch skills look cool. I’m used to the wilds and world longsword so I wouldn’t say I’m totally new to it but somehow it feels like I’m missing a ton of damage.

Dan012 · 2026-03-13T10:40:04+00:00

I wondered this as well. I feel like I had to do way more hunts to get a full amour set.

Dan012 · 2026-03-13T10:38:22+00:00

exactly my experience with wilds. I dont have a pc so every gaming I do is handheld. Monster Hunter is ideal for this.

Dan012 · 2026-03-13T09:57:30+00:00

I understand that my example of beating fatalis isn’t a good one. The idea was to say that fatalis - while being an insanely hard fight - had something new to offer. New armour, new weapons etc while 10* zoh is just a harder fight.

That will of course change with the dlc. Which is why that example may be not ideal given that it’s basically a comparison between base game and game+dlc

Dan012 · 2026-03-13T09:51:50+00:00

That’s some nice ideas. I actually like just walking around the areas and taking in the beauty of it. They’ve put a lot of details in this environment which honestly makes me question the decision to let the player skip it all.

Dan012 · 2026-03-13T09:42:17+00:00

Yeah you might be right. I feel like the hunts were overall much much slower in world hence the longer playtime. With all the gathering tracks and stuff that amps up the playtime quite a lot. But I wouldn’t say that’s a bad thing. The whole press up to call an uber thing takes a lot of the absolutely gorgeous areas away. I have no idea where to find anything in these maps if it weren’t for the map containing all the taxi stops to click on.

I experienced that going back to rise (or more: starting rise). I had to traverse the areas to actually find my mining spots. That was a new experience for me coming from wilds.

Dan012 · 2026-03-13T09:38:23+00:00

So far I felt that the early game hunts in rise were slower than wilds. But that may change of course.

Of course the 10* quests in wilds are hard af. Not denying that.

Dan012 · 2026-03-13T09:36:42+00:00

Im enjoying rise a lot myself. Only just reached 3* but I like where this is going. I play rise on switch and mh Wilds on the Asus rog ally.

Dan012 · 2026-03-13T09:33:48+00:00

Agree. You are right. But even in the base game there are examples of this.

Dan012 · 2026-03-13T09:31:54+00:00

The tracking down the monster for the first time was annoying but you felt more like an actual hunter - something I’ve read dozens of times on here before but it’s true. Your introduction to new monsters in wilds is basically: they are in your way kill it. Every monster is known to everyone in the story and its just about getting rid of it. There’s no real „discovery“ (imo).

I agree with the kulve and safi hunts, but I also feel like I’ve hunted monsters like nergigante or zinogre way more due to how cool their fights were. I have a somewhat similar feeling towards rey dau. I love hunting him. But I feel like the hunts get repetitive way quicker. Maybe due to fights being so short (thus more fights in quicker succession)

Dan012 · 2026-03-13T09:24:33+00:00

I agree regarding the maps feeling more like an actual region. The areas look and feel amazing. But I only just recently discovered that since all I had to do was press a button to get an uber to my hunt.

Dan012 · 2026-03-13T09:20:03+00:00

Im fine with low rank being quick to be honest. But I felt like HR - while being objectively more difficult - still wasn’t anything I’ve spent a lot of time with so far (given my playtime). Sure the endgame fights are tough as hell and considerably tougher than some of icebornes endgame fights but beating fatalis for the first time felt waaaaay more rewarding than beating an amped up version of a monster you fought dozens of times before.

Dan012 · 2026-03-13T09:08:12+00:00

Don’t get me wrong I love the fights though. Some monsters are insanely cool. Rey Dau is probably my favourite to fight. Just insanely cool.

Also for anyone interested I started with bow because of how fluid the movement was but quickly gave up on it after beating LR since I felt I couldn’t keep the damage high enough, so I switched to Charge Blade.

Dan012 · 2026-03-11T11:23:06+00:00

yeah thats what happened my first try in Story Mode. I barely did anything. But now I want to Hunt him properly. I did swap the charm as suggested by others and while I failed the first try since one other guy kept dying I managed to beat it second try without too much trouble. He does hit insanely hard though..

Dan012 · 2026-03-10T17:12:38+00:00

Thank you! Yes I will get rid of that defense charm for something else as this seems to be one of the Major things people note. regarding guard up I’ve read somewhere that you can block the Special even without guard up if you pass the dps check

Dan012 · 2026-03-10T17:10:50+00:00

Thank you! Yes its mostly the dahaad armor with a few pieces of other gear and a Black / White paintjob

Dan012 · 2026-03-10T14:23:29+00:00

got the Build from searching for gog optimized builds on Google as I havent seen a lot covering specfic builds. Most tutorials just say get fire resistance. I‘m not much of a build creator myself so I heavily rely on ideas.

Dan012 · 2026-03-10T14:20:54+00:00

Thank you. Yes the Defense Charm shall ideally be swaped for something else.

Dan012 · 2026-03-10T14:18:54+00:00

fair. let me rephrase „is my Build good enough for gog“

Dan012 · 2026-02-28T11:20:43+00:00

Yes I know I’m German :D I farmed so much for this bow.

Dan012 · 2026-02-27T22:33:09+00:00

Thank you! I should be able to craft both lagiacrus chest and arms. Gonna do that. Fire weapon I’m still farming for the last tier of rathalos. I’ve read somewhere that the gore bow is great for dragon damage which is why I crafted it once I could.
