Is there an elemental damage cap in iceborne?

[BaconBankai]

In vanilla MHW the number would turn green and be capped despite being able to throw on more elemental damage with decorations. I tried looking this up myself but I was getting old videos and mixed answers. I know with the new augment system you can go even further with adding elemental damage. So I'd like to know if there is an artificial cap like before or is the only limit how high you can actually get your elemental damage?

That's not how the game shows element caps.

If you inspect your set and the numbers for elemental damage turn ORANGE, then you've hit the cap for that particular weapon. Green just means it's an improvement from whatever you have equipped.

I'm unsure how elemental augments affect the elemental damage cap.

I forget what the actaul color was but you still can get capped despite being able to add on more element in Iceborne then? Think I read somewhere that the cap is always 1.6x the base element

In mhw when the damage number turn orange means its cap, however with MR augmenting that cap goes up. How much? I'm not even sure, never reached it with the new augmentation

Im pretty sure some Dual Blades cap at around 750 but i dont know about other weapons.

maybe, but the cap is damn high

i have an SnS with 710 lighting damage

There is but got increased a lot to the point you can go full elemental stack with LBG suffering a little of dimish return.

well to truely see how high you can get the elemental stat, you need a few things.

a friend who is a hunting horn user

armor that has enough slots to max out both an elemental stat, and have coalesence 3 on it.

have HH user give you any and all elemental damage buffs. get poisoned or blighted and cure it. have a weapon equipped with the highest elemental value, augmented purely for more elemental value.

the you'll know what the highest cap is, the effort to reach it, and ultimately how meaningless it is xD.

because the rest of your damage suffers.

but for something like Kulve, i could see like a frozen tuna GS maxed out for elemental damage being hillarious in the damage numbers you could get on the horns.

The Kirin SnS? Thats why I was asking was curious if I should be going for that element augment or if I'm going to hit a wall/cap
