Velkhana Large Crown in Winter MR 5 Star The Winter Blues Quest

[TIMMAY]

I've done 252 tries so far (abandoning / returning when not a Gold crown) and have yet to see large Gold Crown Velkhana spawn in 'The Winter Blues' quest.

Anyone else out there experience this or similar while crown hunting (any monster in general)? Is it possible the quest doesn't spawn large Gold Crown Velkhana (despite sources)?

It'll be less painful grinding crowns on investigations or the Guiding lands tbh.

Specially for Elder Dragons.

That's just RNG, sometimes you'll get gold crowns back to back, and sometimes you'll just never see them. In addition, measuring by eye is sometimes kind of finicky so you might've accidentally skipped a gold-crown one.

That and! Certain quests have increased / decreased chances to spawn gold crowned monsters, and some have pre-determined sizes. Maybe the mission you've selected has a pre-determined monster size, and even then, if the quest description doesn't specifically say that it's got increased / decreased monster sizes, I wouldn't bother.

My advice? Skip the RNG BS and just get this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/4581/

Investigations seem to have more crowns.

Just mod it to save your sanity though.

PS: https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/4496 I have been using this one and it works out. The other mod hasn't been updated for quite some time so you can also try this one.

Ah yes, turn the achievement into a checklist, a very elegant solution.

It's their fault for putting in pure RNG achievements.

I don't know what you think but achievements are meant to be meaningful and I'm not rolling a dice to get one.

Sound logic

yep investigations is where its at .. and those event quests that bundle all the monsters in an area in one quest . these also have super high chance of golden crowns . more than investigations even

im still struggling with pre iceborne golden crowns XD
still missing 3 monsters
after than i'll move focus on iceborne

As none of the actual quests involving velkhana have more than a 1% chance for gold crown large, including the AT Velkhana quest, it's just mindless rng on if it actually spawns large enough.

That's not meaningful, that's definitely not difficulty.

It's just a pointless grind.

rng is unequal difficulty

mr had already increased crown chances
you got every crown after 30 kills on average, but looks like some people are super unlucky or using the wrong method

as already mentioned investigations or guilding lands for better chances

nothing wrong with using mods after wasting 250 kills
he could also use a discord for crown hunting, where you also never knew, if the people, who offer help simply used mods to help others ...

Thanks for explaining what I was too lazy to explain, folks.

I don't think he will care or understand but maybe he will.

They won't. It's also funny because the achievement in and of itself is just a checklist of whether or not you've encountered and killed X monster at Y / Z size. Why wouldn't you want to save your time by getting a mod that allows you to complete the checklist quickly and efficiently?

Something called pride, some people are just way too stubborn.
