Does the timer for each hunt cause you to have to rush? Or can you take your time?

[wrathfulohio62]

I'm thinking about getting the game but i want to take my time and explore each area. What are the cons of me doing that if any?

The only hunt that time was ever a factor for me was for fatalis as i was being extra cautious and its a 30 minute fight (i can see why they made it 30 minutes, if it was 50 it'd be a way easier fight)

Standard hunts give 50 minutes, they're done in 15-25minutes for an average first time hunter. Decent hunters can manage 10-20 fairly consistently, time attack cheese lords can get around 5 or less.

Timers are only scary when they're 15-30 minutes.

I have never felt pressure from the timer.

It's cool they made World for extremely new players no time limit and no death limit. Made for monster hunter noobs.

??? You talking about the expeditions? Id say its more similar to 4U's...that thingimabob...Everwood I think?
Otherwise, yes, most of the other MH games had "expeditions" in a quest format

For average quests is okay, you can always take your time. Alatreon and fatalis though, you have to rush in certain way. Alatreon has an elemental damage dps check and if you fail the check the ultimate attack will cart you, no way to prevent that. You can use raw weapon to rush through it though, just make sure not cart to any other attacks other than the ultimate.

Fatalis is just difficult. 30 min timer + high health + high damage + not a lot of opening + better break head at least once to increase survival chance in p3.

if you want to just explore and roam, do it in 'expedition' mode - no time limit. roam to your hearts desire. monsters will actually spawn randomly as you go.

at the start when you don't deal much damage you might time out fighting a monster here and there, but that doesn't mean you need to rush, its more, you need to keep a good flow of hits going.

as you practice you'll get better. be sure to memorize the combos for your weapons - that's half the battle right there.

Expedition mode isn't a good starting point for hunting monsters. They have random time limits and will flee the zone, sometimes in minutes and sometimes close to death. Actual missions give a guaranteed and generous time limit where the monster won't run away, and the missions have extra rewards on top of it.

Expedition mode is excellent for doing mini quests and gathering resources. Start with an empty inventory (maybe some potions and a farcaster), and equip harvesting gear. If monsters show up, bang them into a wall or start some turf wars for free shinys. No need to commit to a fight. There are also local tribes, seek them out and do their missions.

Just do expeditions, theyre the way to explore.
Do note, monsters there have a set hidden timer, so if you're going to grab/farm items, do investigations instead

expeditions are lame as hell cause the monsters will time out and poof into the aether

the 50min timer is awful, i rarely ever have to rush, but you cant exactly take your time, afk, etc

i think ill go and see if there is a mod to either completely remove all timers or stop the expedition mode from deleting monsters

edit: Found the expedition timer fix

Now expedition is good.

Yes, i don't like timers in any games, especially when you play offline.

Tri and 3U's Island expeditions were the most like World's are. Main difference is World has them for every general map and rank they're available for, instead of one map in the rank(s) below the game's maximum.
There were Account Item and Harvest Tour quests though, because "Guild Rules" require quests to have a timer, cart limit, and quest fee.


Time's hardly an issue unless you're specifically wasting time or soloing something without solo-scaling (which are few - Collaboration and Title Update monsters).

Can't believe I forgot my first game's expedition mode.

The timer really isn't that big of a deal except for certain hunts. You can casually mine for bit or collect materials if you want.

There are certain hunts that ♥♥♥♥ you over with a timer though. One hunt I failed because of the timer running out is due to the map layout being bad and the monster flying from the low area to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mountain forcing you to chase after it.

I'd say it's a lot better for that type of new player, with how random it all is they can still get a lot more out of it, since they lack in pretty much all resources.

Also, the gathering set can be crafted very early on and that one was ideal for me when I started playing, getting double the honey for mega potions, not losing insect carves, faster gathering, more tries per mine nodes/bone piles, good stuff.. people can get these skills from the a couple starter sets.

There's one thing I will agree with here, which is to not spend too much time in LR (low rank) expeditions. Or maybe someone can correct me on that? I didn't do more than just the quests in there.
