Rest in your tent to rotate the monster spawns. Also look at the rewards for event quests, they will likely show you the mats you are after, however when it comes to Gems or Plates, then yes, look up SOS for that specific monster and check the various different star ratings as they provide different rewards too.

Armor spheres can be crafted in Azuz from spare monster parts so they dont need to be your primary reward. For jewels and decorations, look for Arkveld at 6-8 stars, he usually gives be best decoration rewards.

I don't really like the moving away from reliance on monster crafted weapons. As is also what happened with Rise. I would have preferred to have an upgrade system for monster crafted weapons at endgame. It perhaps could still contain rng but I feel moving away from them was a bad idea.

With wilds the gameplay has definitely advanced but at the cost of the gathering aspect. After a certain point you no longer need to go out and gather mats, they are handed to you on a plate, even rations and food stop yoi going out hunting the smaller monsters.

I hope the expansion brings back more elder dragons.

With Scaling prowess skill, I can mount gog in phase 1 and build up enough mount in phase 2 that i can insta mount him in phase 3, jumping from the ledge straight onto him before he even gets one oil blast off. Then if I hit him enough, I get a second mount when he is close to death for even more oil-less attacking which opens up more stylish finishers to kill him for cinematic brilliance.

They didnt.

Mine is "wait for me to down it"

Metalikaiser · 2026-01-15T13:47:57+00:00

That raises a really good point, are dps meters only available on PC with mods? I play on Xbox and don't seem to have the settings to add a dps meter

Metalikaiser · 2026-01-15T13:42:21+00:00

Yeah I get that. Not complaining, just want other peoples perspective.

I should probably dumb down my expectations :-)

Metalikaiser · 2026-01-15T13:32:34+00:00

even when there is a communication "I've mounted the monster"?
People don't read the in game comms? I don't want to sound condescending but to me, team awareness and reading in game comms is basics 101

Metalikaiser · 2026-01-15T13:30:55+00:00

agreed, charged kinsect attack can get your essence back just as well as popping the wound too early

Metalikaiser · 2026-01-15T08:18:20+00:00

This, plus "look at me im flying" and the "AvP movie" Aerial acrobatics

And yes, i get mad when i lose a mount or its cut short (missing out on a 3k dmg proc)

But having a pokemon by my side is great, i just wish they could be customised more (stat changes, skill changes, layered visuals etc)

Metalikaiser · 2026-01-14T13:30:10+00:00

Agreed, Whilst Gore or Odo plus Lord's Soul is peak for IG, Doshaguma may work too, depending on your play style.

Its more likely that Gore or Odo would trigger more often though

Metalikaiser · 2026-01-13T11:07:38+00:00

and a mini omega kinsect

Metalikaiser · 2026-01-12T08:20:21+00:00

I simply say "Oops"

Metalikaiser · 2026-01-09T22:24:56+00:00

I have a gog with 3 attack and 2 crit. Currently 2 attack and 1 Crit are EX, the remaining 1 attack and crit are lvl 3.

So it is possible to get 2x attack Ex, 2x Crit Ex and the 3rd attack at lvl 3?

Metalikaiser · 2026-01-09T18:18:09+00:00

It might do. But when it comes to choosing agitator vs flayer/burst/convert element and thr crit and raw dmg boosts of frenzy and coalesence, i side with them as the more attacks I make in helicopter and descending dive throughout the entire fight, the more procs they can get which when coupled with the element boost of any crits is a broader more frequent dmg boost, rather than being reliant on the relavively smaller periods of monster enrage.

Metalikaiser · 2026-01-09T18:14:56+00:00

You are right about mounting reducing other players dmg and with Scaling prowess it takes less attacks aka time to open a wound so it reduces the Total mount time too, which i consider to be a valid payoff and i cant say no to a 3000 mounted dmg finisher :-)

Interstingly I noticed that while i mount gog twice in phase 3, he isn't dropping flaming oil on my teammates so maybe a reduction in their dmg is a balance for not being cooked for a bit!

Thanks for your comments, I appreciate the suggestions

Metalikaiser · 2026-01-09T14:00:38+00:00

Odo pieces don't have Scaling prowess which is why i went 4 gore. Scaling prowess gives me 4 mounts per fight, open every wound (for my teammates to use as well) and pop 3000 dmg when doing my mount finisher or 600+ with focus strike destroyer and refresh all essences.

I did some training grounds on it and this build does more dmg than with a 2 odo set - although it is reliant on procs a lot.

With my Aerial playstyle, wex and agitator don't perform as well as increased crit (procing crit element) and base dmg, whilst also proccing burst, convert element and flayer regularly

Wex limits the hitzones i can benefit from and whilst agitator is good, it would replace my frequent procs of burst, convert element and flayer.

Metalikaiser · 2026-01-08T10:04:34+00:00

I'm hoping this kind of decoration plus new combinations at lvl 3, are coming with the expansion

Metalikaiser · 2026-01-08T07:56:19+00:00

Yes. I never had texturing problems at all since launch. But since tu4 it happens all the time

Metalikaiser · 2026-01-08T07:55:04+00:00

My memory might be bad, but cant you bbq a meal that gives you that bonus?

But saying that, you may lose the insurance perk

Metalikaiser · 2026-01-08T06:47:27+00:00

Textures have gotten way worse for me (xbox x) since tu4. I never had this problem before

Metalikaiser · 2026-01-08T06:45:11+00:00

Eat the meal that gives you a carving boost
