Has your opinion changed about Spiribird gathering?

[OrdoVaelin]

Now that most of us have gotten to end game Sunbreak, I was wondering if opinions have changed about gathering Spiribirds.
With the addition of skills and ailments that sap health, as well as monsters that hit harder, I personally have no problems with people taking a couple minutes to go max their health, attack, and stamina. I go and grab them myself since I run a suicide glaive build, so the health is super important

nah spiritbird f*cking sucks, why do i have to running around just to prevent myself getting 1 shot instead having it from food buff

however i really like gathering endemic life and using it back to back to monster, kinda like pokemon lol

[Seamus]

Nope.

it's still a stupid mechanic.

I dont mind it, though i only go for the toads and gather birds along the way
I have noticed though that gathering them with a palico is just not fun, the dog makes it so much easier

Also dont mind if teammates do it, even if it takes long
It means the hunt isnt gonna be over in 5 minutes, which is a plus for me

level 4 bird gathering food buff fills all 4 in about three minutes

[SyriosOne]

People should stop thinking they are required, start treating them as a bonus and you all have a better time hunting.

Waste of a food buff slot.

I always felt like a noob in world cause i was using health boost lvl3, spiritbirds feel perfectly placed ( i get atleast 5-10 running to a monster) and balanced especially with the petalaces, even tough theres a clear best one, and if someone complains about being 2 hit, yes somethimes but, Blood Rite, Hammer Counter, 4 Longsword Counters,Dual Blade counter, SNS, Lance, Greatsword block, dont get hit ? evade extender ? the "more iFrames" skill ? Im not good myself but i dont cry about getting 2 hit because im still got enough to not die, which is easy, and there are probably like 5 other switch skills which give you iFrames or something, people should just stop playing if they cry about getting hit lol

until a monster destroy your entire HP with 1 hit on regular basic. At the very least you really want those HP bird. Defends and Attacks can be boost other way.

I don't know why everyone is complaining about them as if they're required...shouldn't this game be super easy or something? You don't need them!

My opinion has not changed that they're completely unnecessary

This is solved by not wearing low rank armor

I must be one of the few that likes running about collecting the birds. Was never a big deal for me, never takes that long to max out HP and Stamina. The latter makes a big difference on some weapons, like Dual Blades or Gunlance. Time's not an issue for me since I run solo 99% of the time, but I can get how it'd be annoying waiting for one person in a group. Don't agree, but understand.

Perhaps ancient potions could max out your HP and Stamina bar like they did in world? Let the impatient speedrunners do their thing while not ruining it for everyone else.

you can run around with 800+ armors and all positive element res. Late MR monsters still melt you easily. Seriously get that HP, make a world of different between have 1 hp and still have half of it.

[Loxly]

People maxing out spiribug have the same vibe with people with maxed out defense boost/elemental resistances on top of steadfast on other defensive skills. You can have them ,but they're absolutely not required.

[Tregrenos]

I don't think I'd ever bothered with Spiribird gathering other than as part of the optional subquest. To me, it's just a bonus before every boss event or Rampage to be given a Max Spiribird, but not something I'm gonna go outta my way for on a hunt.
