I generally go with Arekkz Gaming, they do pretty solid work. You can learn the Monster Hunter World's guide and then learn the new moves from Wilds, and you should be set.
Alternatively, Gaijin Hunter seems to be releasing videos on Wilds. So far there's only a dual blade guide, but more should be coming.
Arrekz will give you all the foundations to understand every weapon (along with Gaijin Hunter) if you want Iceborne/Worldsborne guides. But Lightitupdan is pretty great too!
Also with some weapons that are particularly unusual there are specific guides from specific creators I'd recommend. I believe the man is retired and with his family these days so he's not making new guides but SH3RMSY goes into the minutiae of Guard Points for charge blade!
Awesome! Thanks for the recommendations :) I’m using bow at the moment, but eager to try out each weapon so I can truly determine which weapon I prefer.
Not a bad idea at all. Trying out every weapon is a good call, especially since you may have need of switching between weapons to progress against some monsters. But just be comfortable with idea of investing more time in some weapons than others. Some will click very quickly (bow, dual blades, SnS). Others have their quirks.
Bow is an excellent choice though. I'm told that it's the ranged option that most melee players have the easiest time using. So hopefully the reverse also proves true in case you opt like stuff other than LBG/HBG. Though I should let you know HBG and Bow are considered very very good in World. Most ranged weapons in general have better clear times in the hands of skilled player but the margin of difference is pretty negligible if you aren't a speed runner.
Yeah I tried the bow guns, mainly because it’s what MH forces as your secondary weapon, and I just can’t seem to jive with it. Maybe it’s the ammo I’m using.. I see posts about how easy it is to”r3 point and click simulator” but idk lol. Maybe it’s just not for me!
Everything is relative, the price of having 14 weapons is you may have to shop around a bit. Also those differences in clear times isn't going to be anything you'd miss unless you are truly committed to shaving off a minute or 2 on hunts. I'd say Bow is plenty strong as is, but any interest in any blade master weapons?
If you want mobility Insect Glaive is very very good in that regard. Hammer on the other hand has a charge mechanic (that keeps you moving) similar to bows, but you forgo cutting tails; which isn't a huge issue since you can still receive tail break parts as rewards without a tail break in iceborne. Hammer has some relatively simple combos and its ability to create (multiple) openings is the greatest of any weapon.
Dual blades is perhaps the single easiest to learn of the blademaster weapons but has excellent elemental damage output and repositioning capabilities second only to glaive.
I hope you mean the weapons guide in game, and not a YouTube tutorial. The game gives you all the tools you need, you just have to want to read and learn on your own.
No, the game doesn't tell you everything. There's a lot of stuff that you won't really know unless you watch guides, or experiment for hours on end.
MonHun is just too complicated man. There's shit like animation cancels, combo line skips via certain moves, and even small interactions like how you can get free reloads off of a ledge jumping attack for bowguns.
I mean if you are into min maxing and trying to shave seconds off hunts to speed run, sure. You are talking about super niche move mechanics. But for the average player who is just having fun? The game provides everything you need.
The weapon guide tells you the combos for weapons, and I know in a few instances it tells you the ideal order to do things. From there it is literally just playing the game to familiarize yourself with it. How did yall play games before youtube?
I mean, if you want to think that, that's fine. It's just that we're all so used to the game telling us jack shit about what we should know, that we end up teaching each other.
They're just the OG community. They built the foundation for what we are now - the memes, the guides, the knowledge base, the speedruns, and of course, the camaraderie they fostered. A lot of "hunter etiquettes" came from them.
MonHun was a pretty niche game, so the community was small, fairly tight-knit, and welcoming. You'll often hear from old fans that the new wave of fans brought a lot of toxicity into the community, and that's a bit true, given how many simply don't know how to behave in a friendly way. But so far, it seems the spirit from the old days are still alive and well.
Gotcha. Funny you bring up Hunter “etiquette” as I was just today thinking about making a post and/or looking up posts on MH common courtesies. This is my first MH game and up until the other day, I didn’t realize when a monster ran off to take a nap, that wasn’t just random but set up by a fellow Hunter and therefore I should probably let them get the first hit off. I’m hoping there’s more tips out there bc I have so much to learn!
Sorry for replying so late lol— I’ve been trying my best to look up builds and I think I did manage to get something with divine blessing. The only thing I still don’t understand tho, is when I upgrade armor, is that upgrading just the stats or will that also bring divine blessing up from lvl 1 to lvl 3? I’m hesistant to upgrade armor cuz I think I wasted a lot of resources on early game gear.
I appreciate the advice!! Honestly the best suggestions I’ve gotten has been from average players like yourself in these type of threads haha. Divine blessing is super clutch tho, I know it’s saved me a handful of times when I’m knocked on my ass.
Good to know about the lvl system of each skill too. I think the really only other thing I’m hard stuck on is the Artian weapons. Ill probably just have to watch a couple YouTube vids on that one tho cuz I have nooo idea how to get the desired weapon perks I want, let alone what I should even be aiming for lol.
Oh I didn’t know you got the mats back!! That’s awesome. I guess part of what I’m struggling with is also what it is I even want, let alone making it haha.
