When will I finally unlock new weapons?

[HarbingerOfDestruction「俺様」]

HR 5, just finished the Zorah Magdaros failed captured attempt.
Since the start I didn't unlock new weapons besides Ore and Bone (i'm not talking about upgrades)
on what mission do you get a stronger weapon ??
Don't care about spoilers just tell me, this is irritates me that I anticipate new weapons after every mission since the beginning.

1. kill monsters
2. get some parts
3. go to the smithy
4. ???
5. New heavy meta DPS Weapon

[Suzaku]

The majority of the weapon system is to make a bone or ore weapon, and then upgrade it to whatever you want it to be. There's only a handful of weapons that are off in their own little corner. I don't see what the problem is.

If I remember correctly you should have access to new ore during or after that quest which might open up some more upgrades.

I'm not talking about upgrades, i'm talking about new material weapon with higher damage and different weapon tree.

it's just upsetting that I'm waiting for a new variant of weapon since the start ( you start with bone and ore) So it's just frustrating for me to keep coming back excited after every mission to the smithy only to find out - NOPE! Clear more main story.

Do you remember the exact mission???
I did see a new ore material on the back of the that giant monster.

Unfortunately I can't find any info online for what missions. From what I understand you unlock more stuff as you gather the new materials. You should be heading into a new zone so I think you will unlock more stuff soon.

[Jethro]

Gather new materials and kill new monsters. Almost all weapons start at bone or ore and branch out. Just keep playing the game...

[~KeNnEtH~]

Start with bone.

Upgrade it.

You will see branching options once you upgrade it 2 times or so.

You will have to have fought the monsters though.

Ore path leads to a late story monster so you probably don't wanna go for that for the time being.

[Furrows]

about 80% of the crafted weapons are upgraded from the ore and bone trees. as you go through the story you unlock more upgrade paths. most of the crafted weapons you end up unlocking are shortcuts into the tree.

[primobrainlet]

The trees go
Bone/Ore, come in very early
Blacksteel, come in very late
Deviljho, idk why
Workshop, event weapons

but 100% of weapons worth their salt are going to come from an upgrade tree

Pretty much this. Weapon branches will reveal themselves as you unlock the mats for them. Since you just wrapped up the failed zorah magdaros capture you'll be going into the Coral Highlands, which means new mining nodes and 3 new monsters. (Part of me wants to say 4, but I'm sure Clifford doesn't show up in LR Coral.)

If you want all the weapon branches unlocked just focus on getting through the tutorial story.

[Stationary Traveller]

Just progress through the story, the weapons tree will be unlocked gradually.

[JPM岩]

It will be towards the end of the main story, some Elders unlock a new tree, and monsters like Jho and Luna, open brand new trees

[Grottowalker]

you don't 'unlock' weapons.

you start with one of the crafting trees, and you upgrade with the monsters you killed.

killed a bunch of puki puki; you can upgrade your weapon into the puki puki, so it deals poison damage.


if you are playing with heavy slow hitting weapons, stick with raw damage. if you are playing with the quick hitting weapons, then diversify and build elemental ones for each weakness.

[MasalaMouth]

lol

[DoT]

just keep advancing threw the story, the weapon upgrades will become available as new items you find become available to you, if they aren't their yet then the weapon requires an item that you can farm at a higher level or new area
