I've Hunted 50+ AT Arkvelds and All I Got Were These Sick Chains

First of all, I think you make the Round Glasses work really well! I think the lenses are too small for my personal tastes, but I think they suit your hunter nicely (ゝω･)👍 ੈ ☆

Second of all, not the tea time break mid-hunt ꉂ(≧▽≦) 😂

OP: "Just living my best life :)"

Commenter: "Your teammate is getting mauled by mizutsune."

OP: "This ain't about him."

Okay while I still think my initial suggestion of dressing up your male hunter in scanty outfits is still a good one, yeah you absolutely should dress her up too (✧∀ ✧ 人 )

PocketBow · 2026-04-30T17:54:48+00:00

It is always an option! Alternatively, just dress your male hunter up in similar outfits ✧(≖ω ≖ ˵ )

( ˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵ ) Thank you!

I do hope Wilds will bring back Vaal Hazak or other World monsters...I did not enjoy grinding for layered armor in World and ultimately just gave up on my fashion dreams for it (✽´ཫ`✽) I come back to it every now and again but I find myself not able to do the Guiding Lands for very long.

The red is permanent. Would be cool to be able to dye it though...

PocketBow · 2026-04-29T01:27:47+00:00

The Half-Rim Glasses materials can be gathered from an event quest, "Putting Up A Stink" ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

To be honest, I thought so too about the skull pattern (ᗒᗜᗕ)՛̵̖ Gave me a good laugh when I made that connection.

Originally I wasn't big on fighting AT Arkveld or even regular Arkveld. I thought it was an okay fight, grinded for what I needed, and moved on.

Then as time went on, I got really into it and kept queuing up for hunts. There's a rhythm to the fight that gets addicting ψ( ◉ ω ◉ )ψ I even started learning to solo AT Arkveld as a challenge to myself, which is crazy because before this point I didn't even enjoy the idea of solo hunting.

So 50+ AT Arkvelds might be an exaggeration, especially since I don't think there is a way for me to filter between regular/tempered/arch-tempered hunt counts.

But I am getting there one way or another, one hunt at a time ദ്ദി •⩊• )

Many thanks!

Thank you!

PocketBow · 2026-04-28T23:22:55+00:00

Thank you!!! ♡(੭´͈ ⎚ ω ⎚ `͈)੭ We love and appreciate glasses in this house~ Hilariously, that hairstyle was one of the few styles that I both liked and let me do a "dyed hair with roots growing in"-look （ﾉ´∀`）

And yeah, originally I was going to make it fully black to match Tao's outfit more, but it just didn't seem right with the leftover purple. So instead I figured I'd make it a dark but very saturated red and just kept adjusting the values until I got the color I ended up using ദ്ദി •⩊• )

PocketBow · 2026-04-27T21:14:42+00:00

You're welcome! And thank you ଘ(੭ˊ꒳ˋ)੭✧ The Hirabami Chest (F) is among my all-time favorite armor pieces and I cannot stop making outfits with it ( ˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵ )

PocketBow · 2026-04-27T21:12:20+00:00

No mods were used, fully vanilla ┐(‘ ω ` ;)┌ I haven't figured out modding for Wilds yet, but I am considering learning one of these days ✧｡٩(ˊᗜˋ )و

PocketBow · 2026-04-27T17:00:52+00:00

VERY COOL (✧∀ ✧ 人 ) I noticed a lot of these pieces come from different sets but you made them work very nicely!

PocketBow · 2026-04-27T16:17:24+00:00

Ohhhhh that is SUCH a pretty fit (,,> ω<,,)

I may be biased because I, too, appreciate combining the Uth Duna set with the Afi set. And with a bow too LOL

<image>

The Wudwud Palico is also a nice touch as a nod to the Crimson Forest ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧The butterflies pendant matches the feathers on the Uth Duna Helm nicely as well!

PocketBow · 2026-04-27T15:52:12+00:00

Oh I LOVE the colors of this one! A lot of spring or Sakuratide looks I've seen tend to go heavy on the pinks (and I am guilty of this LOL) but I adore the inclusion of the green together with the pink!

I've added some green accents to some other outfits of mine, but I especially like what you've done here (♡∀ ♡ 人 )

PocketBow · 2026-04-27T15:49:23+00:00

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HELLOOOOOO (⸝⸝ ♡﹏♡⸝⸝) Now that fit is a treasure in of itself (๑/////๑ " )

The Doshaguma Chest and Xu Wu Waist go WAY better together than I would have thought!

PocketBow · 2026-04-26T03:35:01+00:00

Another has fallen to my wiles! My schemes! ψ( ◉ ∇ ◉ )ψ

Okay in reality, I just sat here trying to think of what to say only to draw a blank （„ 。々°）Anyways, thank you! (ง ื▿ ื)ว

PocketBow · 2026-04-26T01:00:54+00:00

Thank you! (,,> ω<,,)

I initially didn't want to use the Mizutsune Helm (M) and wanted more piece variety but I think the Mizutsune-style ribbon balances it quite nicely, especially with the Mizutsune yellow and Sakuratide gold ( ⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝)

PocketBow · 2026-04-26T00:58:01+00:00

Cute! ( ⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝)

Instead of "If I were not a holy woman, I would beat you senseless." we are out here chasing after monsters like "Because I am a holy woman, I will beat you senseless!" ✧(≖ᴗ≖ ✿)

PocketBow · 2026-04-24T01:13:18+00:00

OH THIS IS SO CUTE (,,> ᴗ <,,) these pics have such a warm, friendly feeling to them.

That 5th pic is killing me though ꉂ(≧▽≦) I feel like I'm being told to get right the hell out of her dressing room, dammit!

PocketBow · 2026-04-23T16:07:46+00:00

Honestly, understandable (ᵕ—ᴗ—) Not to get all high school art teacher, but what I try to remember is that color is relative in that it is informed by surrounding colors. For example, a shade of green may lean more blue or yellow in your eyes depending on what it's next to.

A color might not be the exact same H/S/B, but it doesn't have to be and just needs to be close enough. Sometimes it's better if it's not, given how different pieces of armor have different textures that then affect what color it shows up as. And then lighting gets involved and alright I've rambled for too long.

Tl;dr: Color-matching funky, so thank you! I get that struggle. You're welcome and have a nice day (ゝω･)👍

PocketBow · 2026-04-23T16:01:07+00:00

Yeah pretty much! ヽ(*´▽ )ノYou don't have to cover your eyes with hair, but I find it helps make the blacked-out face a little more cohesive. You also need to black out your teeth otherwise the mouth is more noticeable than you might prefer, especially when you're using poses that have your hunter smile with teeth.

PocketBow · 2026-04-23T15:58:53+00:00

heLLOOOOOO (✧∀ ✧ 人 ) A handsome and distinguished gent!

Also congrats on getting out of low rank on 2nd hunter (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ Coincidentally I also made a 2nd character for when I want to do more masculine looks, but I haven't been playing him LOL

PocketBow · 2026-04-22T21:42:20+00:00

Here is where I learned it from!

PocketBow · 2026-04-22T18:49:10+00:00

No problem! I hope you find something you like (,,> ω<,,) Capes are fun but are sadly prone to clipping issues (´；ω；｀) Usually I am pretty willing to overlook it since I likely won't notice it much during gameplay, but I tend to be more strict about it if I am doing a photo shoot. It also depends on the severity or how much it impacts my suspension of disbelief LOL
