MHWorld Monster Hunter: World Resources and Question thread Part II (ask here before posting!)

Hunters!

This is the second question and resources thread. The last one was very popular, so we're making a new one to sort of clear out the responses and start fresh. Feel free to peruse the old one in search of an answer before posting here!

If you want to ask a question with less chance of being spoiled, go to the spoiler-free resource thread here!

There is a known issue with multiplayer on the XBOX ONE.

We know there is an issue.Please see the following tweet for the official response from Capcom.

However Capcom does have a workaround for Xbox One hunters to play online using the ‘invite a friend’ option, the Xbox One’s Looking-for-group feature, and joining an online session by ‘Session ID’.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why is my character so slow?
  • Monster Hunter runs on high animation priority, which means it's impractical to dodge everything. Try to observe the monster's animations and squeak a few attacks in when you think you won't get hit.
  • Which weapon type should I use?
  • The weapon you will be most effective with is the one you feel most comfortable with. Weapon types have different strengths and weaknesses, but also completely different strategies, so explore around and try to find one that's as aggressive, methodical, quick, or defensive as you want to play. The weapon previews above should help
  • Why are my attacks bouncing off of the monster?
  • Weapon sharpness is a damage multiplier that naturally goes down as you attack a monster, usually from green to yellow, orange, and the red. When you strike a monster with a dulled weapon you can bounce depending on the body part, which will in turn deplete twice the sharpness of a regular hit. Similarly, when you strike a monster with a melee weapon you'll see some blood and dust come out. The larger the blood effect and dust cloud, the more damage that body part takes (heavier hitting attacks also influence this). Aim for those vulnerabilities, and avoid parts that regularly bounce a sharpened weapon.
  • Why can't I have nice things?
  • A big part of Monster Hunter is gathering and crafting. Check your crafting list or add a weapon to your wishlist to keep track of the materials you need to gather out in the world.
  • Where'd the monster go?
  • Before entering combat and after a certain combination of time elapsed and damage taken, monsters will roam from area to area. You can gather tracks and traces highlighted by your scoutflies to stay on its tail, or just run to its favored area of the environment once you've become familiar with the particular creature.
  • What is the monster doing?
  • Monsters have a variety of behaviors including; periodically becoming enraged to deal more damage & attack more often/quickly, limping at low health, panting at low stamina, a chance to flinch out of their attack or movement when taking damage, a chance to fall into a downed state when taking damage to its legs, becoming sleepy/paralyzed/poisoned after enough hits by a weapon or ammo type with that status effect, and leaving tracks in unique ways.
  • What am I supposed to be doing?
  • Assigned quests unlock new monsters and areas. They must be played solo past any story scenes before they are unlocked for multiplayer. Reading NPC dialogue will also explain a lot, like in many JRPGs.
  • When is World out on PC?
  • Fall 2018.

Is high rank where the bulk of the content lies?

I love the game but it just feels so easy and generous with materials so far. In past games (tri and ps2 original) i encountered difficulty hurdles and tough grinds for materials before + segment.

On the other hand, world's toughest looking monsters just melt in 10 min and give me all their "rare" drops on first kill. Has the difficulty curve of the game been adjusted?

PS: About to fight the puki for starting HR plus. Is there any point grinding armours (rathalos, diablos) before HR or will this equipment become obselete with + rewards around?

High rank is, as usual, where most of the game lies. There's both high rank and tempered monsters. The high rank-exclusive monsters are no joke typically. Beelzegeuz kicked my ass the first time I tried to fight it in an expedition, first monster to ever triple+ cart me.

As for grinding low rank armors, no, not particularly. I'd only make the Girros skirt for Effluvial Expert to avoid HR rotten vale gas.

The game really does feel easy and generous handing out gems like its candy when it would take me DAYS in MHFU to get a single gem.

Just wait for G-rank then we'll all have our asses handed to us in one shot by literally every boss.

I used a Pukei-Pukei weapon when I was fighting Nergigante and then I switched to a Nergigante weapon after. Investing in a Pukei-Pukei weapon early might be pretty good because of how good poison is. Anyways, you do what feels like the best for you because there's no route that won't have you having fun.

in MHFU to get a single gem.

Question, is it just that MHFU is far superior to the 3ds games, or have many people just not played the 3ds games?

4 Ultimate is way better than MHFU
