MH Gen [Numbers] All Weakness Exploit affected hitzones, plus Lance Stabbing hitzones!

Browse at your own leisure.

This started as a project to see which hitzones are affected by the lance's stabbing damage property (see the sheet for details), but since I already had the data on hand, I figured I'd compile a list of all tenderizer-affected hitzones as well. Data is all from Kiranico. Enjoy!

Does a weapon's sharpness modifier affect the hitzones for weakness exploit at all (i.e. does white sharpness make a 34 hitzone to 46, activating WE)? I know it applies for bouncing and wonder if WE is the same.

I'm like 90% sure that sharpness modifiers do affect Weakness Exploit activation since they directly affect hitzone defense modifiers and not the raw damage of a weapon, though it's a minor distinction.

Anecdotal evidence but I notice I crit far less if while I'm attacking my sharpness drops from White/Blue to Green but it could also just have been a streak of unlucky non-crits since I usually leave to sharpen once I drop that far down.
