My god I can't even do anything in MR

[FafnirChaos]

I bought this game after playing on Console, and pretty much rushed it to HR 100, I come back a few years later get Iceborne and oh boy did I miss a heck of a lot of grinding. I'm literately stuck I can't go forwards because of my build, and going backwards in MR is just a time sink. I have to go back 2 steps to HR just to farm for money/armour spheres/jewels and quests I skipped to get some room to move in MR.

I thought maybe I could just farm teostra to get his set, but it takes me 40 minutes with another person just to beat him. after a fight like that you need a break.

Thank you, I may take you up on that. I'm going for a walk right now. I'll be back after though. I can play then.

If you can go on a MR expedition, even some very basic gear is easy to obtain and much better than HR gear. I'm talking to beating up great jagras or kulu, just mining or gathering from bone piles, or beating up hornetaurs. Even the most basic HR gear can handle that much and get you that big boost into MR gear that you're looking for.

[FafnirChaos]

I think I finally understand why I'm having a hard time in MR: Teostra has 3.5x the HP from HR, does that mean that all the ED's have bloated HP, making those fights last way longer then they should?

Edit: nevermind I just confirmed my own thing, I'm going to re-examine my build and look for another way at doing this.

Oh I'm stuck at my first special investigation with Kirin. Normally I wouldn't have a problem, even his tempered version I can solo, but his MR is way beyond what I can do. I need stun resistance, armour spheres to upgrade my armour and money, because everything is super expensive.

The fights won't last long when you got the right gear.

If you have the strongest HR gear set you can deal with the first few monsters in MR and everyone had to do this. It hasn't changed in the updates.

You can craft the Defender Gear which is meant to help people get into MR.

Okay, here's the thing, complete the main story in Low Rank and High Rank. Master Rank is meant for you AFTER that part.
You can search on Youtube how to make money because there are ways to do it.

Already did that, I'm looking at the botanic garden, cause I only have the first 1. I'm actually hunting for ebony odogaron's mantle so I can get his final weapon upgrade. It has a bit more attack and affinity then my paralysis weapon, I'm gonna get stun resistance from that gleavues monster armour, and then it's on to money/jewel business.

Edit: also after all that I'll head towards teostra, get his armour set, and use that against kirin.

hang in there buddy. i wish i had a good path for you to follow in MR but i got just as spun around and i hadn't played ib before either.

take your time hunting, each hunt in IB drops nice rolls at the level 4 decorations, and keep collecting those every chance you get. sometimes the armor itself is the gate, other times its a few space saving lvl 4 decorations.

i mean, if you've been able to kill toaster this early that's already quite the accomplishment imo. MR versions hit way harder and give you less chances to retaliate.

[kukukachu]

just get to the sabertooth monster, make its armor and you'll be good. I only used that armor the whole way through. I also had a poison weapon.

Griding doesn't guarantee to make you better. What matters is a right build and player skill/experience. The right build don't even need that much grind, you just need to hunt the same monster few times to get it's armor, and the process can be sped up by directly melding its rare materials (mantle/gem). Jewel is a nice addition to min max your build, but they aren't gonna provide much advantage if your skill level can't keep up with an optimized build.
Armor spheres and money are going to be extremely scarce if you have been rushing through the game and keep making new gears, there aren't any workarounds other than farming them with efficient ways like event quests.
Going back into HR from MR also isn't a complete waste of time. Some HR optional quests unlock useful utilities like botanic research upgrades, canteen ingredients, while some unlocks special equipment (mainly mantles). If you are short on time, look up some guides/wiki for quest lines tied to these upgrades so you can skip other truly optional content.

Something that will help in MR is to wound and flinch-shot monsters into walls to topple them.

To wound, you latch on with the clutch claw and attack a specific part of the monster (tenderising it) which will take additional damage from attacks for 3 minutes. Heavy weapons only need one wounding attack, while light weapons need two.

Flinch-shots are where you latch onto the monster's head (while it isn't enraged), hit them to face them towards a wall, then fire your slinger ammo to make them charge the wall and topple over. There's a tutorial event for that mechanic that lets you practice.

[Bobucles]

That's the main reason I dropped sword and shield. The big damage comes from its ultimate attack, which I can never get right, and I never use the shield, so it's just a dagger build with half the daggers.

If you're just farming one monster, tailor your build against it. Teostra is worth maxing out fire resist. Then choose between anti dragon for suppressing its super nova, or whatever water/ice element it hates the most. It's handy to keep 3 small gem slots as a way to quick swap resistances between monsters. At least it's far easier to get 3 resistance gems compared to maxing out every resistance necklace.

Clutch claw is the big meme tool in MHW. Every class should be very aggressive with tenderizing monster parts with wounds, throwing them head first into walls, or even using the ammo drops to deal non stop staggers.

[53Army]

what's your main weapon? of course any monster can be killed with any weapon, but some weapon will make some fight far easier

if you would like help with farming or tips on builds and stuff just let me know :D

I Disagree on your take on grinding. Im grinding Apex Rathian event quest in base Rise (i dont have Sunbreak) and it is legit making me a better hunter by getting pummeled for every major mistake i make. 4 days already and i can kill it under 9 minutes. For comparison my first clear was almost 20 minutes. I just need to get a bit more comfortable before moving on to the next Apex quest. Take care.
