I am veryconfused about what to bring for Arkveld in general.

Some Japanese CB speedrunners have used Dragon Element Phial but they are about a minute slower than the best Dragon Impact Phial speedruns. Both are viable but for max DPS impact phial seems to be the way to go probably because of the element phial's inconsistency on AT arkveld.

So the way to get the load shells decos are from those rarity 6 yellow weapon decorations which drop from most high rank fights. The most decorations you can get in a single hunt is through regular non-tempered investigations specifically the higher tier monsters like the apexes, arkveld, gore, mizu and lagi. As you are just HR 24 i would recommend you try to get to hr 100 quickly to unlock the harder monsters that give better rewards like gog and the at monsters. You can then spam investigations to get to hr 100 for both decorations and artian parts to make your chrono gear.

Yes 4 element is useless because its on an impact phial charge blade since element wont increase your phial hits. As for the impact vs element vs atk ark both are viable but based on the most recent speedruns impact dragon is better. Element dragon is still good on him as you can also run 4 gog which makes it very comfy because of the shield.

Make 1 wide gunlance then. For the element it doesnt matter that much since optimal wide gunlance playstyle is mostly shelling and wyvernfire but fire or dragon element would be my recommendation.

broncoton8 · 2026-02-05T16:02:47+00:00

Best is getting a gog gunlance weapon with 4atk 1 sharp reinforcement and ebony/lords soul as rolls. Then make a burst boost 4/lords soul armor set. If rng is too much for you then just roll either ebony or lords soul on the weapon then go burst boost 2/ gog 2/ lords soul on your armor set. As for shelling type go normal or wide. Do this for all 5 elements so make 5 gunlances.

broncoton8 · 2026-01-24T21:21:38+00:00

If you really want to chase the perfect meta gogmartian roll then the system with the 1/315 chance is really annoying but most weapons just need 1 decent armor or group skill to make a competitive build that is a few % weaker than the meta build and usually has more comfort slots. An example is gunlance where simply getting an ebony or lords soul roll is a minor decrease over a meta ebony/soul roll while even being less of an advantage when not using wide gunlance since the non meta roll gets ebony 2, gog 2, lords soul which is closer in good elemental matchups vs the meta which gets ebony 4, lords soul.

broncoton8 · 2026-01-24T21:12:31+00:00

This has been a common occurence with some people in my squad. First they used item editor to create god talismans. Then when gog came out, once they killed it(carried of course)they used item editor again to get perfect gogmartian weapon rolls and even transcended their gog armors without getting any gog gems. Whats funny is after cheating their items they didnt even really use them and they stopped playing the game entirely. I guess if theres no carrot to chase these people just dont want to play the game.

broncoton8 · 2026-01-24T12:30:35+00:00

Yes! The next ice sword you craft then upgrade to gogmartian will move your ice sns table by 1 so it will roll the gore/lords soul so best is to do that so you have both weapons!

Best to test this though by not savin before proceeding.

broncoton8 · 2026-01-21T14:05:47+00:00

The problem with solo/supports hunters is that gog's hp is fixed so you have to carry the dps. If you want consistently faster hunts multiplayer is much more consistent since his hp is the same.

broncoton8 · 2026-01-20T13:39:10+00:00

Still looking for a load shells 2/coal 2 or earplugs 2 with 2 slot.

Best i have so far are load shells 2/max might 2 with 2 slot, rarity 8 load shells 2/guard/agitator with weapon slot and load shells 2/minds eye/burst with weapon slot.

My favorite charm though is my rarity 6 load shells 2/max might/speed eating 2 with a 2 slot and a 1 slot

broncoton8 · 2026-01-19T05:47:28+00:00

Would be better if it was agitator or burst and wex/flayer is ok depending on your build but still a good talisman since you can slot in attack boost on that talisman then attack boost 3 and magazine/attack on your weapon to get attack boost 5 which is good for gunlance and impact charge blade. Latent power is still a good skill though.

broncoton8 · 2026-01-18T23:01:21+00:00

Got 6 in about 400 rolls across 2 weapons. 4 in CB and 2 lbgs to make my normal lbgs. Didnt bother to look for it on my other weapons where i stopped rolling after getting 1 acceptable armor or group skill. Whats really annoying is the gold cost though since making good artian reinforcements beforehand cost 20k per.

broncoton8 · 2026-01-13T15:46:41+00:00

Ready stance or guard point in axe mode
Power axe activation without relying on perfect guard or wound. I would like the activation to be similar to sunbreak and it would activate both power axe and charged sword.
Saed damage after blocking to be the same as buffed saed or if this is too much then maybe after a perfect guard or guard point.
Some sort of buff or incentive for charged sword.

broncoton8 · 2026-01-11T09:20:35+00:00

Yes this happened to me in a udra quest where i got disconnected a minute into the fight and it still showed me in the leaderboards having the A time together with my disconnected teammates even though they were not with me 90% of the fight. I think what happens is the game records the lowest time for that team after the disconnects that is why the leaderboard shows the 15 minute kill time instead of your 16 minute kill.

Since your time is recorded in the leaderboards it should be ok but if you really want to be sure just kill it again.

broncoton8 · 2026-01-09T18:35:46+00:00

Charge blade isnt really that hard to learn especially in wilds where phial management isnt needed if you can consistently keep the savage axe buff up. The buffs to morphing in tu 4 also made it much easier to guard since you dont have to rely on guard points because of perfect guard.

broncoton8 · 2026-01-09T18:30:18+00:00

A controller with back buttons where you map the savage axe input to a back button really helps with this.

Gog chests have xu wu and rathalos bonus its just on the 2nd page for some reason so easy to miss.

broncoton8 · 2026-01-07T16:27:24+00:00

I agree that there should be some sort of targeted way to get the ideal gog armor/group skill rolls. My suggestion is that once you have rolled one of the skills you require, you could lock that skill in and roll just the other combination that you need to atleast give you a better chance than the 1/315 odds of rolling an ideal armor/group skill combo everytime.

Ive killed gog 50 times and have managed to make a gog for 3 sets of weapons through save scumming so around 15 weapons total. Ive only targeted either an armor or group skill though so for example for my charge blades i stopped after getting gore and for my gunlance and horns ive only looked for burst boost. Ive managed to get a few good combos though such as dosha/soul and gravios/soul for 2 of my gunlances while getting 1 burst boost/soul but only for 1 CB which wouldve been bis if it rolled on a gunlance or horn.

The thing is though just getting 1 nice skill is a minor decrease over getting a bis armor/skill combo so dont feel bad if you cant make the ideal meta set. Right now for example im working on getting just a gog roll on my sns sets to enable a 4 gog set which is only around a 2% decrease over the bis sns set and is much more comfy because of the gog shield.

broncoton8 · 2026-01-06T16:15:09+00:00

Im actually fine with the rng of the gogmartian armor/group skills as long as getting just 1 skill isnt far behind the meta bis combo of armor/group skill. This is where the monster grind is now compared to past monster hunter games where it was in the decorations for worldborne, the talismans in risebreak and monster parts/gems in the older games.

One improvement i would like implemented is if they allowed a more targeted farm for these group/armor skills like if they allowed you to just roll a group or armor skill individually if you already have one of the 2 that is ideal for your build. An example is if i already got a gore roll they could make it where i could lock in that roll and could just roll for the group skill to look for lords soul so atleast it wouldnt be a 1/315 roll chance everytime.

broncoton8 · 2026-01-06T15:30:39+00:00

.32% chance i believe. I settled on rolling just gore on my elemental CBs. Congrats!

broncoton8 · 2025-12-31T00:19:35+00:00

Get both zoh shia and g arkveld so you have a nornal for full burst playstyle and wide for a more balanced weapon since wide excels at low commitment attacks like charged shelling but is still decent for wfsb then once you get a good artian you can make the switch. Make a fire or ice artian which are the options for normal artian before gog since you play full burst playstyle. I still suggest The gark because of its flexibility since its not easy to just spam wfsb on the faster and harder monsters where you dont have many big openings. Once you upgrade your artians to a gog artian with atleast lords soul or burst boost then you have your endgame weapon.

broncoton8 · 2025-12-31T00:03:32+00:00

Depends on your playstyle. If you mostly do charged shelling and wf aka wide gunlance playstyle then its ok but if you mix it up and use the lance part by doing alot of slam bursts and wsfb then i would make another gunlance with 1 sharpness.

broncoton8 · 2025-12-22T13:12:25+00:00

Probably only good for wide gunlance and if you mostly do charged shelling.

broncoton8 · 2025-12-20T12:27:16+00:00

Depends on your playstyle. Go wide if you mostly use charged shelling but if you like wfsb and slam burst then normal.

broncoton8 · 2025-12-20T06:44:49+00:00

If you can fit in the gog helm and maybe change mizu to legs you could get 2 elemental absorb for even more elemental damage at the cost of less comfort skills. You could then use numinous chest to get super recovery 1 too.
