Is capture master worth it?

[Taisen]

Is there like a loot table or something to show what it can give extra?

[Seamus]

There's info on that in your hunters notes if you've gotten your research up high enough. Capture pulls from the same table as carving.

[Taisen]

I know the pulls is same as carving but I m asking if the bonus from capture master can give rare stuff like gems and plates. I should clarify its the kirin armor skill.

"Capture Master Effect

Capture Master has only 1 level:

capture-master-skill-mhw-wiki Level 1: High chance of increased capture rewards (no effect when joining mid-quest)"


I pair it with good luck for maximum farming effect.

"Good Luck Effect

Good Luck has only 1 level

good-luck-skill-mhw-wiki Level 1: Good chance of increased quest rewards (no effect when joining mid-quest)"

Also, capture rewards are the same as carving now, capturing is simply faster and much safer as it finishes the quest sooner leaving less time for someone to cart.

[Taisen]

I usually capture as well as I m under no illusion that I m gonna break off any more parts before it dies. I m just curious if the kirin armor effect can give gems etc.

Depends on what you're hunting. Is it worth it to capture a Dodogama, Kulu, Titzi or Pukie? Yes... Always... It's basically required otherwise you're a heartless monster and probably kick puppies for fun.

It pulls from the same table as carving and capturing so, yes. It can give gems.

Capturing and Carving give the same exact drops. Capturing gives 4 attempts for drops. Carving gives 3.

So you're more likely to get what you want from Capturing, simply because you have 1 extra attempt for drops each time. Statistically this means you're more likely to find rare drops per mission, but the drop chances for rare drops is identical to carving.

Well if you capture and have legiana and/or Kirin armor set you have an increased chance of getting more rewards at the end of a hunt/capture.

there are few monster parts that can be obtained only from carving i think but you mostly farm cuz gems.so capturing is better and safer choice.

dont forget about palico plunderblade. some gems can drop from it

its just the RNG of it all. you could always get a pallium from capturing, quest rewards, and i'd imagine in world, investigation silver and gold boxes.

i've done quests back in the day where i went and did everything possible for the best change at say, a large elder gem in Freedom Unite, and would NEVER see one for about 20-30 elder dragon hunts. then i'd just hunt one as fast as possible, nuts to the break parts and such just kill it fast, and i'd get one in the quest rewards.

Monster hunter is a game where you could do everything right, and still not get what you want. its a life lesson.

It's called RNG. In my case I notice no difference. Also, it's your anecdotal evidence vs data miners. I wonder who's right?

In short: capturing monsters is always worth it. It gives you more rewards than carving + the loot table is the same. The only reason you shouldn't capture is if you want to break a body part, for example a tail, and it's still not broken when the monster is ready to be captured. There's also rare cases where capturing the monster is slower, but that only happens when farming low rank monsters with high rank gear, for example.

Did you get yours from carving or from the upper box? Because if you get it from carving, you can get it from capturing.

And if it's in the upper box, it doesn't matter if it's carve or capture. That's just a standard hunt reward that either can give.
