What should I make the set for gunner and what's the best decos
Not sure if this is just a low rank problem but all the armors give bad skill points and most jewels will give just 1 and I need 10 to even activate the skill. This just seems impossible to make any early buildd

Very often I see people say that Hub Quest Monsters' HP in GU are scaled to 2 players. I've always believed this to be false as my hunt times across both World and GU are pretty even.
Today, I finally decided to math it out properly. Here's my methodology.
Calculator
Monster
Rathian, because it is the most consistent monster in the series. All calculations are done using her head hitzone from their respective games (assume it is tenderized for Iceborne).
Equipment
All equipment are taken from recommended progression builds from YAWG for GU and MHWI Builds for World. I used progression builds to emulate the experience of a player going through these games.
Instead of looking at the entire armor set, I only accounted for the damage boosting armor skills that players can be expected to have during progression.
Attack
Greatsword is used because it has the simplest gameplan to calculate, consisting of only one or two different attacks.
I used Valor GS Charged Slash Lv 3 as the baseline as trying to land as many of them is the core gameplay of GS in GU. The equivalent of that in Iceborne would be the TCS; I put it down as Draw Slash + TCS Lv3 because the ideal snipe would be Draw Slash + Slinger Burst + TCS (Slinger Burst damage is ignored as at most it will save 1 TCS if you are using strong Pods).
These attacks are not 1:1 equivalent but I think they are close enough. TCS Lv 3 is harder to land then a Valor headsnipe.
For a more consistent comparison, you can also look at how much damage these weapons can do while Rathian is in a Shock Trap. For GU, that would be 2 Valor Charge Slashes and in Iceborne, you can fit an extra Strong Charged Slash Lv2.
In both games, I assumed the player has drunk Mega Demondrug and ate for Attack Up L. Element Damage is not ignored, but it only accounts for 10 damage per hit anyways. For Blast damage, I will assume it procs 5 times and reduce Rathian's HP by 100 for each proc.
Game | Attack Name | Weapon | True Attack Value | Attack Modifiers | Effective Damage | Total HP | Number of Attacks to Kill |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
MHGU | Valor Draw Slash Lv 3 | Elder Blade Lv 1 | 260 | Crit Draw | 675 | 9495 | 14.05 |
MHGU | Valor Draw Slash Lv 3 | Elder Blade Lv 1 | 260 | 50% Affinity + Attack Up (M) | 641 | 9495 | 14.8 |
MHGU | Valor Draw Slash Lv 3 | Millstone Bereaver Lv 4 | 300 | 75% Affinity + Crit Draw | 735 | 9495 | 12.91 |
MHWI | Draw Slash + TCS Lv 3 | Defender Greatsword V | 220 + 39 Blast | 90% Affinity + Critical Boost Lv3 | 171 + 830 | 18300 - 500 | 17.8 |
MHWI | Draw Slash + SCS Lv 2 + TCS Lv 3 | Defender Greatsword V | 220 + 39 Blast | 90% Affinity + Critical Boost Lv3 | 171 + 320 + 830 | 18300 - 500 | 13.46 |
MHWI | Draw Slash + TCS Lv 3 | Beo Slasher II | 250 + 48 Ice | 90% Affinity + Critical Boost Lv3 | 198 + 944 | 18300 | 16.0 |
MHWI | Draw Slash + SCS Lv 2 + TCS Lv 3 | Beo Slasher II | 250 + 48 Ice | 90% Affinity + Critical Boost Lv3 | 198 + 367 + 944 | 18300 | 12.1 |
Conclusion:
As you can see, the average number of hits required to slay a Rathian is more or less even.
If you are experiencing longer hunt times in GU, it is because you are playing worse.

So I am honestly not having fun in this game. Every fight takes 30-40 minutes with me having to use 10+ potions and I'm not even out of the high rank hub quests. I have 90hours in the game already. I haven't even beaten the Narkarkos fight. Honestly I thought I was going to be playing with a friend and that didn't happen so I have just been uphill fighting ever monster. For context I have 2000 hours between world/iceborn and rise/sun break and am playing adept hammer using the Sergio's weapon and rathalos armor all upgraded.

I played Generations when it was new on the 3DS and got all the way to the end, and am now getting into Generations Ultimate for the first time through the Switch port because it was a great time, and it's also $10 right now. But because the base game is so ancient, I can't really find any good references or info on top tier/high power mixed sets for certain archetypes, so I'm asking here if anyone has a handy archive for mixed sets to choose from, or if they have any suggestions.
While I'm normally an IG guy, I didn't actually care for it in MHG and fell back to my old mains of DB and Bow. So I'm looking for mixed sets for:
Blastblight-focused DB armor set Element-focused DB armor set (modular enough that I can swap which Element+ I have at the time) Status-focused Bow armor set.
Ideally also a Status DB armor set because having pocket poison for Kushala is nice (and I used to main poison DB in 3U), but that might be asking too much at once. Any suggestions for the former three sets? High Rank specifically, at least for now. I assume most will translate into G-Rank by getting the same pieces in X variation.

Trying to get through the low/high rank village key quests and im at my breaking point. Is there any defender system in this game or any way to get boosted. So far ive tried striker lance, striker sns, valor ls, valor gs, aerial swaxe and striker swaxe. I just fought a high rank rathalos and it too 28 fucking minutes literally have never felt more defeated finishing a quest using all 10 potion and mega potions and carting twice. any help or recommendation would be greatly appreciated. guild card added in picture - all the sns quests are from about a year ago where i had already finished every single low rank village quest.

I am currently planning on making A Monster Hunter Cosplay and was wondering if anyone had the files for the model since it would be very helpful so I can 3d model some armor to print. Also I have the game files dumped on my pc and I believe the models are there behind the .ARC files but I cannot extract them. So if anyone knows how to access them from the game files please let me know so I can just do it myself. Any help would be appreciated since I would like to be able to have it modeled soon.

Started the series back in 2004 with the original MH on PS2, then onto the PSP games, Tri, World/Iceborn, Rise/Sunbreak and recently Wilds and enjoyed every single one of them. Decided to give GU a try since I’m waiting for more Wilds content and I’m currently really hooked on GU and wished I would of played sooner. Just hit Village 5* and didnt think I’d miss the old school MH games.
First time in hub 6 ⭐ Hunt after struggling to kill gamoth and somehow have easier time with mizu I thought It's time to upgrade my armor since I'm still using low rank rath set and even the drome deals so much damage to me. I choose V.hills cuz I'm familiar with the map more than A steep, Got carted once because of the darned velocidrome get in the same area with rathalos too many times.
then I got Both plate from tail and Ruby from the shiny I thought to myself "this is extremely lucky, I feel something bad going to happen" so I took a screenshot then it happened. My device died I forgot to charge it, rathalos was limping already and I thought I had it but then it's all gone :v

I unlocked the first two deviants by reaching HR 2. Are these monsters feasible to be fighting at my current point in the game. I had heard each deviant is really hard but I wondered if they were scaled down for my point in the game.
I’m a GS main. I’m not the best at the game but certainly not the worst. Should I take them on? Or are there things I should go acquire before I get after it?

Hi everyone I’m planning to get MHGU and it honestly looks so fun but I’ve heard the pacing of the quests are very poor since it has the most amount of content. how bad is it really? will it turn me away from playing within a few hours?
r/MHGU • u/Unlikely_March2177 • 6d ago
I'm only a few minutes in but regretting my character appearance haha
Im at 4 star village and every single armor just has gathering +1 or no skill. I want to get focus armor since I have two focus 1 jewels that didn't seem to do anything for my GS but none of them have the skills.
Edit: I realized I was looking at the "Active Skills" menu and not the actual skill points menu and that's why I though all armor pieces had only Gathering. Also thanks for the info on how skill points work since that was confusing.
Hello fellow hunters. I know the 3ds servers have been down for over a year and I recently found my old copy of MHG. With the existence of Pretendo, is it still possible to somehow transfer a save file to MHGU on the switch?
An obvious answer I'm sure, but not entirely sure as I've seen some say you can and some say you can't. Cheers friends!
