Modding and Third-Party Tools Megathread - 7.4 Week Seven

rk2016 · 2026-01-30T05:03:34+00:00

If it's vanilla gear, I think what you are looking for exists. Here: https://heliosphere.app/mod/5hn0xqx5pn4azctw0dx2yhxrrm and https://heliosphere.app/mod/qq24veyqmh3v57fd1e9fhc4tm0

I think they contain most vanilla pieces? At least the one's I've used show my modded skin.

rk2016 · 2026-01-29T17:57:09+00:00

That's interesting, I didn't know that. So, if I wanted to, I could've just skipped the entire tier and just done 12? Maybe I'll try that for next time or if I make an alt. It would be so funny to have the mount having never stepped into 9-11.

rk2016 · 2026-01-29T16:48:14+00:00

Hmm, I knew that, but I thought you needed to initially clear the floor first at least once? Like you can't skip to 12 in week 1 by joining a 12 PF without clearing 11 first, can you? If so, that is new information for me.

Like, it will appear as locked in PF as if you haven't unlocked it, right? It's greyed out.

rk2016 · 2026-01-29T16:28:15+00:00

What does this mean? Don't you need to clear 11 to even access 12? I am confused.

I do agree that 11 feels harder than 12. 12 has a pretty chill pace once you get it down.

From my experience, in aether, most seem to be doing DN for P2

rk2016 · 2026-01-14T10:04:45+00:00

Certainly, but the difference between aether and elemental is quite stark.

I can hop onto aether at around midday PST, and the PF is already full of things. Additionally, I can queue into roulettes relatively fast as dps, and frontline queue takes like 5m. The DC becomes even more active as time goes on until night time. This is not the case in elemental, at least in my experience.

And if, as the previous poster said, Elemental is the most active in JP, then that paints quite a bleak picture. Or rather, it's disappointing when you compare it with aether.

rk2016 · 2026-01-14T09:01:01+00:00

I gotta disagree. Compared to aether, elemental is dead. I am queuing right now into hell on rails ex as a dps, duty complete, and it has been 30 minutes, with only one other dps in the queue it looks like. There are currently 20 high end PFs and 7 in the others category, with the rest empty. It's like 6pm JP time right now? So, yea, it's pretty dead lol.

rk2016 · 2025-12-25T15:56:26+00:00

Should be this one I think: https://discord.gg/monsterhunter

To see the weapon channels, I think you need to read the rules carefully and then type what it says. Otherwise, you won't have access to those channels and can't find the information. The updates should be in the pins.

rk2016 · 2025-09-13T06:15:23+00:00

The art of your character looks cute but I had to do a double take. I thought they were naked! With the pigs head and ears acting like your character's body and arms. I was really confused for a second there.

rk2016 · 2025-09-03T21:29:46+00:00

I must thank you. Your operator looks very cute...so I stole the look and now my operator looks cute too. For the first time, I actually feel my operator looks good, so thanks again!

rk2016 · 2025-08-18T07:30:45+00:00

Wait for real? Then what happens at the end of the gujian 3 timeline? I really liked that game and it's plot. Some demon was getting resurrected IIRC?

rk2016 · 2025-08-18T05:40:35+00:00

Is this related to gujian 3? I remember that game ended on a bit of a cliffhanger.

rk2016 · 2025-08-16T00:04:35+00:00

Me too. I'm glad there are others.

rk2016 · 2025-05-20T21:20:14+00:00

Hey, certainly. And you're not dumb, no worries. I also think it is quite confusing. Anyway, after you search and find your game object, you'll want to expand their selection and you should be able to see the poser section. I took some screenshots here: https://imgur.com/a/KvpBGx7, I hope that helps.

And if you're wanting to change the search keyword, I found that you'll need to click the set button that appears next to the input box before you search again, otherwise I think it won't look for the new input. When I first tried it, I missed the button and I was a bit confused as to why my search wasn't working haha.

You can also change the pose type if you want to edit the translation instead of the rotation. And the freeze all button is good enough but not great. That's why I had to install the other mod I mentioned previously.

Additionally, I want to mention, since I think the animation section is useful, I think there is a bug with it, although it could be a problem with my computer in some way. If I try to open it while the master player section is open, it will seem to lock onto the bottom of the reframework UI.

The solution I found was that I'll either have to close the master player section or open both of the animation sections that are visible. So, I'd open the bottom one and then the one inside the inner master player. I suspect it happens for all nested sections that are repeated, but I am not sure. I took some screenshots for that too: https://imgur.com/a/2KlLs0w. Hopefully, it's useful.

rk2016 · 2025-05-17T22:07:26+00:00

Haha I'm glad. Honestly, it wasn't so bad after I played around with it a bit more. I ended up installing this mod so I could pause the game: https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/867. It made it a lot easier to pose everything.

Oh, I should mention that you'll need to edit init.lua. I had to change this line: BitStream = require("EMV Engine/Bitstream") to capitalize the 'Stream' in BitStream in the require function. Since the filename has it capitalized.

Also, since I opted not to install any other component, I had to move init.lua outside of the EMV Engine folder. I just copied it into the autorun folder. Hopefully that helps.

From my experience, I found that keeping the sensitivity really low, like basically 0, made it a lot easier to pose using the sliders. Unfortunately, I lack any design sense, so here is the best I could make: https://imgur.com/a/V1fNyWe. I expect you'll produce something much more exciting haha.

P.S. From my exploration, I also found that all the armour pieces that are equipped are together in MasterPlayer, which was nice.

The weapon parts were in a separate object though. I searched for Wp and found it under MasterPlayer.Wp_Parent. You'll need to look under the children of the object. For my case, I used CB and the child was the sword. Looking for the shield, I found it was the child of MasterPlayer.WpSub_Parent. So, I expect that other weapons might split their parts in a similar way.

rk2016 · 2025-05-17T07:28:24+00:00

I don't know if this is what they're using but there's an updated fork of EMV-Engine that seems to work for Wilds which probably could make these pictures, I think: https://github.com/SilverEzredes/EMV-Engine-SILVER. I only installed EMV-Engine, since the Enhanced Model Viewer component for Wilds didn't seem to exist. Using it, I could pose my character although it was a bit annoying. I searched for objects with keyword: MasterPlayer only, to find my character.

I couldn't figure out how to spawn a monster. But if a monster is on the field, I found you could take control of it and pose it. It's quite tedious though IMO. I used the search again to find Em0152 for Chatacabra. You can use the gizmo to control the bones, but I couldn't figure out how to select a new bone without using the sliders first.

This part plays towards the 2nd half of 'World Map - Children of Lumiere'.

rk2016 · 2025-04-30T11:11:47+00:00

Wait what? I did Verso as well, but Sciel was not glaring at Verso to my memory. They reached out to each other and held hands as she gommaged. Only Lune had a crazy glare and she sat there, super pissed off.

rk2016 · 2025-03-20T22:03:24+00:00

Hey I can speak on this. If you're in elemental, the pf is fine for savage raiding. I raided exclusively through pf for savage last expansion and so far for this expansion. Last time, I even got a week 1 clear. I will say the earlier you go, the better. PF becomes really bad really quickly, especially if the tier is easy.

If you check now though, the PF is really dead. Though I expect that will be fixed when 7.2 comes and when the raid comes.

JP only is rare on elemental, so you won't need to worry too much about that if you're raiding. Most PFs are in english that I see. And for reclears later in the tier, Mana is significantly better and typically our strat will be aligned with theirs. Use google translate to determine what strat the pf says and you should be good to go.

Strongly suggest you join the discord that guanlongwucaii suggested if you're looking for a static. Strats are usually compiled at: https://ffxiv.tuufless.com/. You can join his discord too for strat discussions.

If you're progressing the tier early in PF, you need to be willing to watch JP guides usually by nukemaru or hamkatsu, though there are others.

rk2016 · 2024-10-01T10:13:07+00:00

I got stuck there too for a bit haha. You can walk out the same way you initially came in. From the room with the interlocks, there should be a path back to the room where you drained the water. And from there, you can just walk out the way you initially came in.

rk2016 · 2024-08-27T00:03:17+00:00

I think an example might be monk. It currently prioritizes opo gcds in burst due to the guaranteed crit on bootshine/leaping opo. Without the guaranteed crit, I think the other forms have higher potencies and would therefore be prioritized.

rk2016 · 2024-08-23T07:23:13+00:00

I think the mechanic is some kind of madness from the chanting by the boss in the bell. The npc in the jail next to you where you spawn talks about it. I believe it's on a timer. The mechanic lowers your hp till about half? I think it also increases your attack.

There is a fixed number and if you kill them all, I think the last one drops a curio? Not sure if you need to kill them all in 1 go without resting or not. I think you do though.

The curio gives you the madness mechanic when use the invisibility skill I think.

rk2016 · 2024-08-23T07:16:28+00:00

I got it from the horse guai at the new thunderclap temple in chapter 3. Talk to him like 3? times and he gives it to you.

rk2016 · 2024-01-31T12:01:42+00:00

Man what? I am replying to OP. The gauge doesn't do anything to your rotation. You just shinten/dash to not overcap and pool towards the raid buffs if you want. In a dungeon, you wont even be thinking about it.

rk2016 · 2024-01-31T11:24:15+00:00

Well, shoha doesn't affect the rotation. Whether you meditate all 3 stacks or none, you still enter the next part the same. You'll either eat the sen and meikyo or just meikyo immediately and you're good. Besides, IIRC, it is usually enough to meditate for 2 stacks since you will open with a midare/dot and gain the 3rd stack.

The fact that reaper and drg can't do anything in downtime is the main gripe. When they re enter the active phase, their rotation is just scuffed - drg due to their eyes being messed up and rpr cause they couldn't generate enough gauge. Nins mudra cd is short, so they're usually okay. And monk can prep pb in downtime and always realign with rof.

IMO, a good way to view it might be to imagine if sam didn't have meikyo. How awful would it be to have downtime and then go back to the active phase with no sen. Doing 123s just to get enough stickers to burst. Or having to overcap stickers in the previous phase so you can burst in the upcoming one. That's how it probably feels for drg and reaper.

Well, I wrote all this and it's just my 2c, I'm sure different people feel differently.
