Killed Shara Ishvalda... now what?

[Foolio]

like the title says, im kinda at a bit of a loss for what to do now. I killed Shara Ishvalda getting the credits for iceborne, and I've unlocked the guiding lands and messed around in there for a while killing whatever i saw turn a corner at the wrong time, but idk what to really do from here.

Played the game as a hammer user and soloed all monsters i've come across in the story and in optional quests aside from Vaal Hazak and that water thunder dragon, think its called Namielle. What should I be working toward now? Ive seen talk about those siege battles but idk what level i should be at to not be a detriment to people, and idk where to even go to start or join those lol.

anyone else get this feeling when they reached the credits of base game/iceborne? anyone able to point me in the right direction to keep progressing?

Congratulations! You're about 25% of the way through Iceborne.
If you need help with Vaal, join me / add me to friends.

Do the special assignments for Rajang, Stygian Zinogre, Raging Brachy, Furious Rajang. Level up guiding lands regions. Raise your MR to hunt the unlockable monsters (Silver and Gold Raths, Brute Tigrex, and Yian Garuga). Get to MR 100 so you can hunt Ruiner Nerg. Augment your equipment, unlock layered armors, help others with the game, grind, eat some ass, and enjoy life my dude.

you can do the sieges basically whenever you want. i brought along my usual elder dragon set and a semi-ok longsword and nobody cared. didn't even use lifepowders except when someone was actually on the ground after the pin and nobody else had used one

you could do some fashioning. find a set that looks cool and try to make it, or mix it up with some layered armours. mess around with layered weapons. buy pink felyne pendant from the store. help some random people on sos. get a penguin helmet and squawk at people. find a monster you enjoy hunting and bully the hell out of it for funsies. summon satan. try out the different weapons and try to learn them. capture rare endemic life. look at mods. take pictures of monsters with the picture thing. take pictures of your friends and call them ugly. watch the sunset in the guiding lands. watch the clouds move across the sky at weirdly fast speeds and then watch them turn instantly into storm clouds as an elder dragon appears. cook steak. catch fish. murder your palico. throw net at dragon. make a hammer set purely built around spamming the slide spin attack and then sexually assault kulve taroth. dunk flying monsters out of the air. find a guy, relatively new to the game, and play with them, and make them laugh at you when you purposely kill yourself by spamming gestures while bleeding.

there's a lot of things you can do

The game will now shift focus on the newly opened Guiding land.
1. Raise Forest Region to Lv3 so you'll unlock Yian Garuga (Kill or Capture anything that leaves their track in Zone 6 & 7 will raise your Forest Region).
2. Further Upgrade your Charms (Their final tiers required materials from Guiding Land).
3. Unlock Volcanic and Tundra region of the Guiding land by completing SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT.
4. Health regen on your Hammer (Blacksmith -> Weapon Augment) required Guiding land materials.

Also:
1. Works toward your end game gears.
2. Assignment appears at MR49, 69 & 99. Finish them to further unlock Guiding Land.
3. Perform Safi Raid (only available after you unlock Volcanic region in Guiding Land). Safi offers the strongest Hammer in the game (go for Blast or Sleep. personally I prefer blast).
4. Decoration Farming (or Grinding rather).
5. Have a taste of the End Game content: Raging Brachydios, Furious Rajang, A.T. Namielle

Others:
1. Finish ALL OPTIONAL Quest.
2. Collect every ingredients for your Canteen.
3. Small & Large Gold Crown for every monsters.
4. Finish every achievements in the game.
