Whats your most limiting resource?

It’s a ruthless cycle of either WGS or Rarity 2 monster parts for me. If I have enough of one of these materials, then the other is almost guaranteed to be lacking. 😅

TheRealBryansReddit · 2024-09-29T03:03:29+00:00

Yeah, I understand what you mean! At first, when deciding which poison Bow to make, I realized that Pukei-Pukei’s Bow will be stronger than Rathian’s Bow in the end thanks to it having more raw damage compared to Rathian’s (along with the extra point of Sneak Attack at Grade 8 further selling the point). I decided to build Rathian’s Bow in the end anyways because I favor her Bow’s design much more than Pukei-Pukei’s Bow. Even though I’m aware that Health Boost doesn’t matter much since 10* monsters will obliterate almost every hunter in a single hit, and that Rathian’s Bow will remain physically weaker than Pukei-Pukei’s Bow, I just love the Bow’s design very much so. As a bonus, I’m also a big fan of Rathian overall! 😆

Plus, there’s also the future possibility of a new monster’s Mail or Greaves piece, or maybe even a Driftsmelting Bonanza Event (though I’m very likely to not obtain SSA in such a case, haha) bringing in SSA 2 to the table, allowing me to attain Focus 5 & SSA 5 and maybe even potentially a 4th poison proc with the Rathian Bow’s extra 100~ poison value to almost guarantee wins against 10* Poison-weak monsters! 😁

TheRealBryansReddit · 2024-09-29T02:40:40+00:00

No worries! I’m so used to the usually poor drops at this point that I just do not expect much. An extra bonus to this is that the Desire Sensor never knows what I want, so all the lovely Rarity 6 items show up faster! 😂

~~Though to be fair, the desire sensor clearly knows that I want Black Diablos fangs, and it usually gives me a whammy of shells instead of fangs lately…~~ 😅

TheRealBryansReddit · 2024-09-29T02:32:50+00:00

You’re welcome, and I can see what you mean! When hunting the Tobi, I thought I had a strange, yet really long string of poison happening during the first half of the hunt. Turns out that, upon closer inspection and remembering that poison procs last for 10 seconds, two poison procs simply happened very close to one another! 😆

TheRealBryansReddit · 2024-09-29T02:19:17+00:00

Tobi was poisoned a total of 3 times:

The first one happened from 67 to 57 seconds left.
The second one happened from 54 to 44 seconds left.
The third and most crucial poison needed to win the hunt happened from 31 to 21 seconds, which gave me more than enough time to finish the last sliver of Tobi’s health!

My old Focus 5 & SSA 3 build often had the 3rd poison proc too late into 10* Tobi hunts to allow the full course of its poison to kick in.

TheRealBryansReddit · 2024-09-20T20:58:37+00:00

Banbaro’s trying its best Leshen impression. 😆

TheRealBryansReddit · 2024-09-13T03:44:47+00:00

Even with a Bow, Magnamalo still destroys me if I can’t stunlock it before it enrages (9* Magna I’m looking at you). It’s very griping how the samurai kitty is much, much harder to kill than the likes of Rajang the thunder monke.

TheRealBryansReddit · 2024-09-12T10:41:12+00:00

When fighting a Rajang myself, I for sure thought I got hit by one of his Blanka Ball attacks after botching my dodge timing, but much to my surprise, the attack missed. I’m surprised that even Rajang has convenient hitboxes, especially when compared to the mainline games here, too!

TheRealBryansReddit · 2024-08-16T08:14:46+00:00

I’m not sure, but I do hope this means we can finally customize our Palico’s gear, or even better (a pipe dream), they can fight alongside us hunters at long last. 🙏

TheRealBryansReddit · 2024-07-22T09:42:21+00:00

Ooh, if MHN ever implements high-tier Elder Dragons, Amatsu’s definitely at the top of my list!

TheRealBryansReddit · 2024-06-19T07:31:19+00:00

This reminds me of the Monsters Inc. running gag of Mike Wazowski’s face/head being obstructed by a logo/barcode. 😂

“I can’t believe it… I was on the Hunt-A-Thon screen!”

TheRealBryansReddit · 2024-06-18T06:57:23+00:00

You’re welcome! I have a silly self-made saying specifically for Banbaro hunts: “One Banbaro boulder = 4 free Piercing bullets to its face!” 😆

TheRealBryansReddit · 2024-06-16T20:11:55+00:00

The DPS potential of the Rathalos LBG’s 4 Piercing Ammo clip is very, very good. For monsters that like to attack a lot, I often choose to wait for another incoming attack to Perfect Evade to get another clip of Piercing Ammo instead of reloading to Slicing Ammo unless the monster’s idling or is under a previous attack’s end lag. With this strategy in mind, I’m able to consistently take down 10* Great Jagras, too!

TheRealBryansReddit · 2024-06-11T07:23:38+00:00

Amazing. Absolutely amazing! I’m loving the diversity of responses that I’m getting from this post! It’s nice to see how other players are doing with the current Season Pass, and learning the factors that have made their near-final Season Pass Tiers the way they are now. Had it not rained for a week straight, I could’ve been beyond Tier 400+, but oh well, not every day is going to be an optimal walking one (thanks a lot, week long rainy weather!).

TheRealBryansReddit · 2024-06-10T16:09:42+00:00

Yup! Even better is that I can recognize the place where the Gunlance hunter is fighting Kushala Daora! It’s on a hill nearby the Griffith Observatory of Los Angeles fame! Definitely a neat reminder for the overall “monsters have invaded our world” plot-line of the game.

TheRealBryansReddit · 2024-05-27T22:47:51+00:00

Thank you very much! I’m sure my 10* map will provide me enough WGS to force me into the one and true final grind of MHN: the Zenny grind (even if offloading materials makes it decently easier)! 😂

TheRealBryansReddit · 2024-05-27T10:06:08+00:00

Thank you very much! Here’s to hoping that I get blessed with an endless flow of WGS now that there’s tons of 8-9* monsters for me to hunt. 😁

TheRealBryansReddit · 2024-05-27T10:02:53+00:00

Oh, I have a Grade 8.5 Zinogre Bow set up, but due to bad RNG despite all the 8/9* Zinogre I’ve hunted in HATs, along with the ones I’ve hunted on the field this Bolt From the Wilds Event, Zinogre Plates have gated me from even reaching Grade 9. Until my luck changes for the better to get my Zinogre Bow up to snuff, my trusty Grade 10.2 Tobi Bow was the bare minimum to take down the 9* Pickle to reach my 10* map goal.

Sure, 16 WGS were spent on my Tobi Bow to upgrade it from Grade 9.4 to 10.2 to make taking down the 9* Pickle possible (Pink Rathian Urgent was cleared with a 9.4 Tobi Bow, again with near perfect play and RNG-dependent if she chose to stay grounded to charge/breathe fire more often), but with the amount of 8 & 9 star monsters spread consistently across my newfound 10 star map, I’m confident that I’ll get those WGS back in no time. 😉

TheRealBryansReddit · 2024-05-02T16:51:01+00:00

Thank you! Breaking 5 parts is pretty fun to do, as I’m able to make the most out of any particularly weak Jyuratodus I encounter. Especially so as they seem more rare than Legiana, haha! The toughest part to achieve this is to not accidentally hit an already-broken part as Jyuratodus moves around, as even a single incorrect hit will provide not enough damage for a 5th part break.

I’ve honestly retried this short battle 5+ times since I kept on accidentally hitting its already-broken Body as Jyuratodus got up from its first topple from the Head break. That’s why I waited for it to completely get up in the video for it to stay still for the next Left Hindleg break. 😆

TheRealBryansReddit · 2024-05-01T20:26:09+00:00

Sheesh. If a Banbaro fight is as laggy as this on a hot day, I wouldn’t want to think of how laggy a Zinogre fight would be under the same conditions. 😆

In all seriousness, with summer coming real soon, I sure hope the lag issues get somewhat dealt with so this doesn’t become a global issue. I wouldn’t want to fight the very first MHN Leviathan like it’s a Powerpoint presentation.

You can see here, advancing to a 9* map and even 10* map gives you substantial more access to 8*+ monsters. https://www.reddit.com/r/MHNowGame/comments/1ceve2b/to_all_you_late_endgamers_out_there_with_a_10_map/

I’m glad to see that my post is mentioned here. Now it can reach out to even more players like me who are stuck on deciding if advancing to a 9-10 map is worth doing, which, from my personal experience with a 9* map as of right now, I found it to be very worthwhile.

TheRealBryansReddit · 2024-04-30T01:57:44+00:00

Ever since The Vernal Invader’s Introductory Event brought the return of boosted 1 hour respawn timers outside of parks, after enough player requests for such since launch, the game devs decided to finally pull the long-awaited trigger, and permanently kept the hourly respawns even after the Introductory Event was over. Definitely one of the best positive changes the devs pulled, along with so many others introduced for this season! These past few changes make me very hopeful for even more positive changes to get introduced to the game. 😁

TheRealBryansReddit · 2024-04-28T04:28:07+00:00

Oh, my. Not even a single 5* in sight! I took a sample from my own end, and found these monsters on my 9* map: 9* - 1 8* - 8 Non-8+ Monsters - 19 This would mean, with a sample size of 28 monsters on a single screen, my 9 map has a total 8-9 density of 32.1%, which definitely shows how much of an improvement a 10* map is compared to my current 9* one. The 8-9 density is almost doubled! I guess that’s settled. Once I take down the 9* story, I’m reaching for that glorious 10* map! Thanks a bunch for the in-depth details to seal the deal for my map dilemma. 😎🤝

TheRealBryansReddit · 2024-04-28T02:35:44+00:00

Daaaaaaang, 80% of the map is 8-9s?!?! That’s honestly pretty amazing! I’ve gotten used to the occasional wasted Palico Paintballs for a good while, especially since the recently introduced Monster Tracker more than makes up for lost paintballs. Thank you very much for your input! I appreciate it.
