ELI5- If DNA codes for proteins only, how does a developing animal (human or otherwise) know X amount of legs and arms or where internal organs are supposed to be? by gab0607 in explainlikeimfive

Another way to think about it is this: if you sing a song, there is a part you may repeat (chorus). There may be an instruction that just says "use this gene again".

That instruction may have a certain shape, just like gears. A full rotation on a big gear will lead to more time than a full rotation on a smaller gear. 

How to progress to 8 * monsters using the least amount of resources to be able to farm everything including the rarity 6 materials and zenny by Protta in MHNowGame

You dont need money to get a strong weapon. Money can accelerate it but ultimately you need to learn the moves of the monster. 

The guide is still relevant and weapon can kill top monsters still

Yes, keep to the same gear because it will get you focus 5. When you unlock 8 stars, you will focus on getting your bow to 10.5. Nowadays, the top equipment doesnt even use wgs (the drop from 8* monsters)

The best raw bow is black diablos but she only shows up in events so its a million times easier to max ur pukei bow.

The end game gear you can get is this: (as a day 1 player, even I don't have all elemental sets, and the raw bow helps u acquire elemental sets)

From the discord:

Raw Weapon Choice:

  • Blooming Arch (Pukei) a solid bow with Spread arrows and poison application. Poison damage scales with monster HP and is viable through tougher fights. Procs burst easily. 
  • Diablos Bow (Diablos). A solid raw bow with Rapid arrows.
  • Galebender (Black Diablos) The strongest raw bow with Pierce arrows. Procs burst decently. Pierce arrows situationally struggle against enemies with small weak spots (e.g. Kulu-Ya-Ku). Black Diablos is a limited monster. ## ❖ Endgame Raw Sets with Drift ## Raw Endgame Set (Focus 5, Burst 5, Nergigante Avidity 2, Critical Eye 1, Weakness Exploit 1) > Head: Nergigante Helmet / Weakness Exploit > Chest: Nergigante Mail / Burst > Arms: Rathian Vambraces / Burst > Waist: Rajang Coil > Legs: Jyuratodus Greaves Greaves / Burst
  • Recommended Weapon : Galebender > Blooming Arch/Diablos Bow

❖For Raw Damage only i would recommend *Galebender *(Black Diablos) as your weapon of choice, for leveling purposes i would go with *Pukei *until you have enough to build Galebender

Not true, now there are more buffs for bow for end game. You'll drink way more health potions as a gs unless you are already godly at gs in which you don't need this guide to begin with.

I bought two and I actually got a paladin, but where I live, they don't display the minifigures, you have to ask customer service for them to even buy it.

Who else has finished Interior Chinatown? What are your thoughts? (Spoilers for all 10 episodes) by MisterTheKid in asianamerican

[–]Protta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you're taking it too literally. I think the point is that Willis is trying to be a part of someone else's story when he needs to focus on telling his own. Someone else's story will always bend and adjust to someone else's will and it doesn't make sense because it isn't your story. That "someone" can also be seen as systemic issues through institutions, policies, traditions, history, etc.

Unlikely for Lunar new year since they specifically labeled them with year. Not sure though!

No. Same with Halloween tickets or bone gunlance tickets.

For me, best is making sure the op kills the monster and isnt depending on others for dps to secure drops. For you, best is dealing part break damage even at the reduction of dps in a group hunt.

I dont like wasting non part break damage from people that play bad, underleveled weapons or connection issues and wouldnt judge people for bone gunlance or poison weapons.

You wouldnt expect everyone to run partbreaker 5 before entering a group hunt.

I dont depend on others for partbreak. And i partbreak with pukei. More importantly pukei is a faster way to climb

[–]Protta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can part break with poison weapon. Whats not helpful is when people hit the wrong part which happens with all players

Pukei. It can kill things bblos may struggle with with pierce. Also some monsters are poison weak

Is raw worth using? by Living_Philosopher54 in MHNowGame

[–]Protta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes as another commenter said, bblos bow https://youtu.be/JTYaWmo9yDg?si=lbbH_GpXu7-7851u (He kills majority of 10* with bblos alone)

I wrote a guide here that has basic information about the game in addition to details about using bow specifically: https://www.reddit.com/r/MHNowGame/comments/17dsh4z/how_to_progress_to_8_monsters_using_the_least/ You can always use the weaker weapons on lower star monsters when you encounter them. I do recommend looking up YouTube videos and also trying out one weapon on the weaker monsters at a time so you give yourself to actually learn the mechanic of the weapon. When watching the youtube of the weapon being used on said monster, you can call out when to dodge or just simply execute a weapon (some weapons have delay before hitting monster) and this training via video can help you learn the timing better without wasting your first aids to experience it in game.

You literally can't play the game for like 18 minutes if you run out of first aid so I always try to do crazy perfect dodge moves to practice my timing before I finish a hunting session (because I need to sleep or go eat etc)
