TLDR; -Check the Monster Field Guide -Use the Kirin-Set (at least 3 parts, for the bonus) -Use 2 Legiana pieces for the Legiana Bonus -Eat The Lucky Liquor Platter (for the Lucky Cat Food Buff) -Do High-Rank Investigations from the Resource-Center with Gold Rewards -Always Capture the monster, even if the game says "Hunt xxx", capturing it works fine and gets You more rewards -GIve your Palico the Plunderblade I hope I saved your 10 minutes
I made a similar set yesterday, but didn't want to rely on thunder attack or marathorn runner because i wanted it to be more weapon neutral and enjoy some nice freeelement from some weapons that i don't use that much for their elemental Combination of: Legiana Helma A Kirin Jacket B Legiana Vembrances A Kirin Hoop A Kirin Leg Guards B This gives the core skills that we need (lagiana flavor, kirin favor) plus: Divine blessing+3, free element+3, blight resistance +1, airborne +1 4 tier 1 jewels and 1 tier two jewel I run it with attack talisman level 3 and an attack jewel, so i can get a little more offensive as well. With this set you can put part breaker in that tier 2 slot and stack it in the weapon if if want. Or use a weakness exploit talisman with a weakness exploit jewel in that slot. This is just an alternative for those that want to use other weapon that isn't thunder or/and doesn't need marathon runner but still maintain the farming core skills (lagiana/kirin skills). You can also boost other elemental damage skills since you have some nice slot choices (plus the ones that comes with the weapon, most weapons that need awakening usually come with nice slots. On a side note, we are wasting one point in diving blessing, since with this set we stack 2 level. But well, that's the price for more versatility.
silver and gold investigations have a chance to give gems even if you break nothing. They actually are the highest drop rate in silver then gold. Capture and carve are only around 3% if you break head but silver is around 10% and gold can go up to 15%
There's a you tuber called Gaijin Hunter who actually translated the guides they put put out and he has a video with the gem drops and the rarest item from each monster. It's actually quite useful. It also shows drop % is same with both carve and capture but with capture you get a couple extra items so it's nice. But just wanted to mention that's where I got my info. Hopefully since this MH was so popular in the West, they'll officially translate the books.
Paul Snelling I believe purple is only feystones for decorations and gleamstones for augments. Gems/ruby's are something specifically for crafting and when grinding for them you want to avoid purple. A lot of people call decorations by the wrong name and call them gems. So that's maybe where the mix up often comes from
i see so many of your mhw "tips" videos and everytime, comments are full of information that you either missed or misunderstood. tbh, a minute of reading comments is even more useful than your whole videos
not at all . High level investigation with as many difficulty modifyers as possible. it's more like git gud. I got 3 teo gems for one 15 min 2 man no death normal investigation. (not tempered) one from the carve after breaking everything. one for a break in the bonus and one dropped in a silver box. similarly with azure rathalos. the roll tables are buffed on dificulty.
I'm guessing he meant investigation reward and not quest reward, quest reward are at the top, bonus rewards for severing breaking and carving are underneath but you can get literally any piece of material from investigation reward and they gone you higher chance in gold and silver. You should only be doing investigations to farm, expeditions for tracks.
and so example, unless you're hunting a tempered monster you can't find tempered tracks in an investigation or assigned quest. You have to get tempered tracks on an expedition or the designated track farming event quest but they're not currently active.
The drop rates are the same between carve and capture according to the guide. The only differences is you get 5 drops from a capture as opposed to 3 from carving.
1:27 The gem isnt listed as quest reward since it only drops in the partbreak rewards if you meet the conditions! It has 0% chance to drop if you do not break any of the required parts
Good note here, on average you dont actually get more rewards from capturing than from carving. You get bonus rewards from part breaking regardless. Obviously if you are running kirin and legi set then capturing will be more profitable in sheer reward numbers but if farming for rare parts and dont want to bother capturing, there is the same chance from carving vs capturing. Loot tables show carving may give you a tiny better chance in carving > capturing but using kirin buff may just cancel out that advantage due to potential extra reward slots.
My palico plundered a odogaron gem once, was really surprised because my carves and investigation rewards didn't pay off but my palico always has my back.
Fun fact, when capturing use tranq bombs first then the trap. It the monster have a high trap resistance you might fail the campture, tranq bombs don't do damage so you wont wake the monster.
Missing two important points: 1) using a lucky voucher increases rate item drop rates 2) when you cannot use the mirin bonus using the guild cross set is better. It provides "great luck" in comparison to the legiana good luck. Unfortunately its 4 pieces with worse skills so it likely will be less efficient for clear times.
Alternatively, you can use the 2 pc legiana + 3pc kirin armor as a buffer set with the mushroomancer skill and use it to enter the investigation and buff up. Switch to your battle gear and try to break all parts, sever the tail and basically whack the monster until it limps away running. Fly back to camp and switch back to the 2 pc legiana + 3pc kirin set and use it to capture the monster. The Kirin set only procs when you use it to capture the monster so its ok to fight without it. As for the legiana set, The bonus still procs as long as you enter the investigation/mission with it and end the battle using it. This way, you can still be efficient since you'll be using your battle gear to take down the monsters. This is also better when farming threat lvl 2 tempered monsters since you wont sacrifice DPS and other skills that are wasted on the farming skills while in battle.
You can also get vouchers from the *Argos* Boat captain. You need to send him to gather "Trade In Materials".There are also Investigations with 3 Gold slots, but they are very rare.
FYI, If you are hunting elder dragons you want to use Guild Cross set, not Legiana, it gives you a Great/High chance of increased quest rewards, also there are 5 gold reward investigations out there but I only got a 4 gold Lavasioth atm.
There are 3 gold 1 silver investigations. I run barroth hammer with kirin helm, waist and legs as well as legiana chest and gloves. Only the waist is Alpha. Every skill works great with it and provides pretty great dps and stun locks. I call the build Miracle Punch. (P5 skill)
1:20 wrong, you can get them as investigation reward bonuses regardless of breaking parts or not it all depends on the color of the reward such as gold will give you a much higher chance of getting say a Rathalos Ruby than silver or bronze
Vouchers can also be obtained through the arena quests in the guild hall. Wish there was a way to bump up the difficulty as a solo player as if you were hunting in a group (without being in a group! It use to be able to be done in the guild hall for older games but not in world...) Or is there?
Hey if you have space for it I feel that partbreaker is a very helpful skill to add to any gem hunting set as most of the time you need to break a part to get the increased chance at them
Just some tips to add to your video if none have told you already. For elder dragon you better let down the legiana set and run the guild set that you can obtain for the arena. This one has a "higly" chance of increase quest reward instead of common chance for legiana. Plus if you are focussing on gems you better be looking for gold reward since it's something like 16-18% drop for gem instead of 6-7% for silver. You can run up to 4gold reward for a quest.
why does everyone think that luck adds to your chances of getting a gem or stone? read the fricken perk. chance to add extra normal reward slots. THAT IS IT. you know. the two lines at the top of the reward screen that usually drop low level monster parts and bones and armor spheres. Full kirin/leggy luck plus luck meal fills both rows. as does guild set plus meal. that is all.
True, you can't capture an elder dragon, but did you know you also can't get their gems in quest rewards? The top half is specifically "quest rewards" which contain no chance for gems, but the bottom half, labeled "bonus rewards" includes rewards for capturing and breaking parts exclusively. This bonus rewards section is the only place to get your gem/ruby aside from investigation rewards and carving. The possible exception to this rule is about the gems that aren't wyvern specific. "Wyvern Gems" and "Bird Wyvern Gems" have been known to show up in the top half.
Or you can go for silver and gold investigation rewards, those have drastically higher chances for gems to begin with and are not influenced by broken parts. Breaking tail + Face = ~2% Chance for a Gem but Silver Reward has around ~8% usually and ~15% on Gold ones.
Regarding meal vouchers, they are a very common reward in the time attack arena. I have done all the arena quests and have 27 meal vouchers. A very easy way to top them up.
Pretty sure I mentioned "for those that do not want to do the arena" lol. you can also get a ton of them through the Argosy captain by selecting "trade in Items" Having to farm another quests to get vouchers decreases the efficiency of it.
Thanks, I didn't know about the argosy. When I take poogie up he sometimes just falls asleep instead of digging up a voucher. Is that something that has a work around?
don't listen to this liar! he doesn't know what he's talking about! do investigations with difficulty modifiers (15 min, 2 man no death is the best) Don't waste your time with luck unless you really want extra normal rewards (not bonus or investigation---where the gems and stones drop)
The great jagras event Mission you do that and you get all whole load of decorations I've been doing that and that's how I got 99% of my decorations is doing it that way keep farming it over and over again and you'll keep getting them over and over and over
For farming elder dragon gems you're much better off with the Guild Cross armor. It has a "very high" chance of bonus rewards, as opposed to the Legiana's regular chances.
woot. you mean 4 normal rewards instead of 3? wow i really need that extra monster bone+. totally worth the 4 armor pieces! (unless its arch tempered. THEN WE"RE TALKING!, the guild suit and a lucky mean filled the regular rewards and g0t me 3 hero stones, a warped decoration a warrior stone and 8 hard armor spheres). only time its worth it.
Nice tip about poogie. Didn't know that. Unfortunately I think once you get a high enough gear level it's more efficient to just capture them outright fast with the high end gearVs struggling with inferior gear. I mean in the time it took you to capture odogaron once using legianax2 and kirinx3, I could have captured him twice (and I'm sure you would as well using your high end set). This just seems better if you want the most chances per investigation use. But honestly at this stage that shouldn't be an issue
gotta remember when recording content it's not exactly going for quick times recorded other stuff while doing this :P the difference between using this gear vs my high end gear is possibly maybe a minute if that.
Can also get a lot of vouchers for completing arena quest. (From the arena lass in the Gathering Hub not special arena quests.) Did a bunch of those and now I'm sitting on 50+ Vouchers.
Meh, if it's for elders you're better of with the commissioner armor or the guild one, i prefer the extra carve, and if you use the beta you have wiggle room for Decs best suited for each elder
All I need for the Dante Sword is one Ajanath gem. I've cleared Code Red probably 12 times, and still no luck. Been breaking Ajan's face and severing its tail, too. Gonna try faing an investigation and see if I have better luck there.
2 man , 15 min, no death normal investation with silver and gold rewards. break everything, take the bonus carve meal and you're pretty much guaranteed. LUCK PERK WON'T add anything to your chances.
I've actually had pretty damn good luck getting gems and plates in this game. I got a Xeno one the first time I fought it and I swear the only part we broke was the tail. Guess my WoW luck carried over
4:30 how do you get vouchers? I've gotten maybe for out of questing, and about two more for daily login bonus but that's it. Is there any other way then dropping Poogie on the Handler?
Can you wear your normal gear and then just swap to Kirin set bonus right before a capture? Or do you need to start and complete the mission in the set for it to work?
Superbed3 Why not! Be patient and wait for the weekly assignment to come , I can tell you it's WORTH IT. The fact that it's RNG based and you need to fight the same elder dragon 10-20 times just for the one chance for it to drop is pretty tedious and exhausting. Do the Weekly assignment, get gold wvyerian print and exchange for the gem of your choice, boom , it's done. Saved you heaps of trouble and you can focus on farming other tempered monster tracks or killing em
its not 10-20 times if you do investigations with vouchers. By the time you wait a week you could have done the investigations and get a gem or 2 in an hour or less
Subscribed to prevent any more tragic Palico deaths, and help stop the cruel practice of Poogie Punting. Speaking of Poogie, anyone else notice that their Divine Blessing skill activates more often if you're friends with Poogs? I swear it's happening, but only if I don't pick up any items from him in the trade yard. Not being friends seems to trigger the skill, on average, every four injuries or so. After being friends it procs about every third hit, from my observation. Not a big difference, but noticeable if you pay close attention.
Thanks i hope this works i have been trying to get the Deviljho Gem which is annoying. A: because the Devijho is a fartknocker which we already knew but also that i am doing it alone and it takes me 20 minutes to hunt him once
I get so many of the rare drops it's to the point where it gets frustrating when I'm farming for the more common stuff, most recently being Odog fangs. I have about 70 some odd gems, but I'm still at only 8 or so fangs. Just give it to me! I want ma Sin blades
Will it be okay if i wear different set of armor for fighting the monster and when the monster about to die , i change the set that you mention in the video?
Meld them. Plus I have a hard time just finding Poogie! It’s like he’s Houdini! Plus I’m currently farming Nerg’s Horn+ and boy is it tough. He heals quickly, it’s titanium compared to Diablos’ Glass Horns, and Randoms don’t help at all. No e of my friends like farming so I’m basically alone on this. Is sad.
Honestly, just do tempered nergigante investigations. I had trouble farming the nerg's horn+ too, now I'm getting them pretty much every time just from carving without breaking the head.
Hey cant find anything about my problem maybe you know? But every time I carve or capture monsters it'll show i get the loot at the loot screen but when I go to Astera I dont have it
Hey guys... I just finished farming my 2nd glimstone from kulve taroth for the full set before the event ends on pc... Now I can die peacefully from old age... Thanks capcom
yes . all luck perks stack . full great luck plus meal will fill the regular rewards squares. (not buff rolls, not add bonus and increase chances for anything good)
After a high usage the plunderblade and alot of investigation farming. Your bonuses from things such as "breaking head" is listed in "Quest Rewards". This can be a gem. The "Capture rewards" if you read the "Bonus Rewards". Will never hold a specific monster gem. That is gems such as Odogaron, Legiana, Raphalos, Rathian, etc, etc. However, common gem names, that uses a broad name can be stolen with the plunderblade as well as gotten as capture rewards. Wyvern gems and Bird Wyvern gems. For example: in the start of the video. Your Odogaron gems were for breaking his head + gold investigation. Look at 0:07 and you'll see what I mean. The description clearly says "Break Odogaron's head". That's why you got the gem. It is NOT one of the capture rewards. Your video seems to go on alot of gut feeling, and not actual drop values that are known. I understand if you are that type of person who prefers their gut over facts, but this is kinda misleading people. Being informative requires to really know what you're saying before you're saying it.
I’ve got gem off carving and as well as investigation.. and if you want to break easily his parts, can you use the skills to severe damage his breakable parts?
RNG is the cruelest thing in the game, in one run I got 3 Val Hazaak gems, one on the regular rewards, one for breaking its stomach and one as an investigation reward. But I broke 6 Val's heads in a row and every time it gave me a Membrane instead of a Fang ;_;
this advice is bunk unless you run arch tempered where those things drop. want gems. break everything and take the bonus carve meal . want stream stones? run arch tempered with as much luck as you can get. or tempered elders. (no luck required). Don't listen to this video . It's totally BS. Luck only adds extra normal reward slots. lucky meal and great luck perk (guild suit) with fill both normal reward lines. nabbing you a tone of normal reward (usually low level monster parts/bones/armor. UNLESS its arch tempered which drop streamstones in the normal reward slot. THIS VIDEO IS TOTALLY WRONG
If i need a gem, i just fight the monster until I get one. What pisses me off though is how often you need Wyvern Gems. I need at least 10 to upgrade/augment the armour and weapons that I want and have been grinding for hours... days... fucking a week. They are way to little drops for how many times you need them.
Vaal hazak, 2 person, 15 minute, 1 faint 5 gold rewards I got shell, tail, shell wing and wing In the gold slots While my friend got 3 fangs, a gem, amd a wing
Funny thing is... i have plunder blades and i am farming teostra gems but dont get em and i forgot to switch to plunder blades cuz i use the coral orchestra XD
TLDR;
-Check the Monster Field Guide
-Use the Kirin-Set (at least 3 parts, for the bonus)
-Use 2 Legiana pieces for the Legiana Bonus
-Eat The Lucky Liquor Platter (for the Lucky Cat Food Buff)
-Do High-Rank Investigations from the Resource-Center with Gold Rewards
-Always Capture the monster, even if the game says "Hunt xxx", capturing it works fine and gets You more rewards
-GIve your Palico the Plunderblade
I hope I saved your 10 minutes
You're the best nobody ever
Real heroes don't wear capes
Ayeee
You save me 10 minutes .thanks you stranger
Talk about drawing out a video to hit the ten minute mark. This video could have been less than a minute long easily.
I made a similar set yesterday, but didn't want to rely on thunder attack or marathorn runner because i wanted it to be more weapon neutral and enjoy some nice freeelement from some weapons that i don't use that much for their elemental
Combination of:
Legiana Helma A
Kirin Jacket B
Legiana Vembrances A
Kirin Hoop A
Kirin Leg Guards B
This gives the core skills that we need (lagiana flavor, kirin favor) plus:
Divine blessing+3, free element+3, blight resistance +1, airborne +1
4 tier 1 jewels and 1 tier two jewel
I run it with attack talisman level 3 and an attack jewel, so i can get a little more offensive as well. With this set you can put part breaker in that tier 2 slot and stack it in the weapon if if want. Or use a weakness exploit talisman with a weakness exploit jewel in that slot.
This is just an alternative for those that want to use other weapon that isn't thunder or/and doesn't need marathon runner but still maintain the farming core skills (lagiana/kirin skills). You can also boost other elemental damage skills since you have some nice slot choices (plus the ones that comes with the weapon, most weapons that need awakening usually come with nice slots.
On a side note, we are wasting one point in diving blessing, since with this set we stack 2 level. But well, that's the price for more versatility.
silver and gold investigations have a chance to give gems even if you break nothing. They actually are the highest drop rate in silver then gold. Capture and carve are only around 3% if you break head but silver is around 10% and gold can go up to 15%

Paul Snelling purple only drops gems and feystones
Paul Snelling I believe purple is only feystones for decorations and gleamstones for augments. Gems/ruby's are something specifically for crafting and when grinding for them you want to avoid purple. A lot of people call decorations by the wrong name and call them gems. So that's maybe where the mix up often comes from
i see so many of your mhw "tips" videos and everytime, comments are full of information that you either missed or misunderstood. tbh, a minute of reading comments is even more useful than your whole videos
right. listen to this guy and you'll waste hundreds of hours doing easy mode investigation hoping for hard mode rewards
How to get rare gems....play for hundreds of hours. Ha
not at all . High level investigation with as many difficulty modifyers as possible. it's more like git gud. I got 3 teo gems for one 15 min 2 man no death normal investigation. (not tempered) one from the carve after breaking everything. one for a break in the bonus and one dropped in a silver box. similarly with azure rathalos. the roll tables are buffed on dificulty.
@@DJDegenDnB whosh
Very Big nope
Ha… 😭
I'm guessing he meant investigation reward and not quest reward, quest reward are at the top, bonus rewards for severing breaking and carving are underneath but you can get literally any piece of material from investigation reward and they gone you higher chance in gold and silver. You should only be doing investigations to farm, expeditions for tracks.
Carisma1005
Great information thanks!
Philip Baumgartner that's a very untrue statement the rewards are the same or similar to quests you just get "guaranteed" 2-6 item categories
For tracks? Mind elaborating?
and so to get the inverstigations
and so example, unless you're hunting a tempered monster you can't find tempered tracks in an investigation or assigned quest. You have to get tempered tracks on an expedition or the designated track farming event quest but they're not currently active.
Yeah, all I gotta do is get the Kirin set, which means fighting Kirin multiple times. Fuck Kirin. Hardest goddamn monster by a mile.
The drop rates are the same between carve and capture according to the guide. The only differences is you get 5 drops from a capture as opposed to 3 from carving.
1:27
The gem isnt listed as quest reward since it only drops in the partbreak rewards if you meet the conditions!
It has 0% chance to drop if you do not break any of the required parts
Great Video! I went ahead picked up all the armor pieces I needed. Gave it a try, and got gems and rubys first try. Keep up the good work!
That Odo was f***ing huge!
Good note here, on average you dont actually get more rewards from capturing than from carving. You get bonus rewards from part breaking regardless.

Fun fact, when capturing use tranq bombs first then the trap. It the monster have a high trap resistance you might fail the campture, tranq bombs don't do damage so you wont wake the monster.
Missing two important points:
1) using a lucky voucher increases rate item drop rates
2) when you cannot use the mirin bonus using the guild cross set is better. It provides "great luck" in comparison to the legiana good luck. Unfortunately its 4 pieces with worse skills so it likely will be less efficient for clear times.
Really enjoyed the tips. I used all of the armor previously, but I didn’t know about the meal voucher! Thanks! Keep up the great content.
Part breaks.
Investigations.
Melder for weekly guaranteed gem if completed weekly bounties.
There, saved you the time.
Alternatively, you can use the 2 pc legiana + 3pc kirin armor as a buffer set with the mushroomancer skill and use it to enter the investigation and buff up. Switch to your battle gear and try to break all parts, sever the tail and basically whack the monster until it limps away running. Fly back to camp and switch back to the 2 pc legiana + 3pc kirin set and use it to capture the monster.
The Kirin set only procs when you use it to capture the monster so its ok to fight without it. As for the legiana set, The bonus still procs as long as you enter the investigation/mission with it and end the battle using it. This way, you can still be efficient since you'll be using your battle gear to take down the monsters. This is also better when farming threat lvl 2 tempered monsters since you wont sacrifice DPS and other skills that are wasted on the farming skills while in battle.
and then roll in all the extra monster bones and bonus armor spheres thinking you were adding to your chances of getting a gem or a stone!
Thank you for the tips Tag! I didn't know about the Lucky Cat skill and the Poogie voucher next to the handler. Good work.
You can also get vouchers from the *Argos* Boat captain. You need to send him to gather "Trade In Materials".There are also Investigations with 3 Gold slots, but they are very rare.
you do not need to break parts to get a gem in bonus rewards. however it will increase your chances of getting the gem
kotzer71 you won’t get any extra rewards in the second box without either capturing or breaking a part
no shit sherlock
Orly
FYI, If you are hunting elder dragons you want to use Guild Cross set, not Legiana, it gives you a Great/High chance of increased quest rewards, also there are 5 gold reward investigations out there but I only got a 4 gold Lavasioth atm.
Great videos and always on point keep it up
There are 3 gold 1 silver investigations. I run barroth hammer with kirin helm, waist and legs as well as legiana chest and gloves. Only the waist is Alpha. Every skill works great with it and provides pretty great dps and stun locks. I call the build Miracle Punch. (P5 skill)
1:20 wrong, you can get them as investigation reward bonuses regardless of breaking parts or not it all depends on the color of the reward such as gold will give you a much higher chance of getting say a Rathalos Ruby than silver or bronze
it's true. but ive seen more rath and nergi gems in silver. rng
This build is lacking one important thing. Part breaker, would make breaking those parts so much easier.
Koloth I was thinking the same; a part breaker necklace would do wonders in this
Vouchers can also be obtained through the arena quests in the guild hall.
Wish there was a way to bump up the difficulty as a solo player as if you were hunting in a group (without being in a group! It use to be able to be done in the guild hall for older games but not in world...) Or is there?

This one has a "higly" chance of increase quest reward instead of common chance for legiana. Plus if you are focussing on gems you better be looking for gold reward since it's something like 16-18% drop for gem instead of 6-7% for silver. You can run up to 4gold reward for a quest.

Saving up some gold wyverian prints for deviljho items - didn’t think of using the Kirin set, very nice 👌
Ill be using this set during my Deviljho live streams! probably with a hunting horn haha
Thanks Tag for telling people how to get my Gems💎
Xeno’Jiiva you drop them all the time without any of these skills lol
I’m coming for you tonight Xeno. 👺
Nice, you have the worst most boring fight in the game..
Christian Baker Even counting Zorah? 😆
Mario Jarquin fair point. I just don't even count that as a fight to be honest lol
True, you can't capture an elder dragon, but did you know you also can't get their gems in quest rewards?

That is where the increased capture rewards chance comes in. Guess I should have broke it down Barney Style For everyone lol
Or you can go for silver and gold investigation rewards, those have drastically higher chances for gems to begin with and are not influenced by broken parts.
Breaking tail + Face = ~2% Chance for a Gem but Silver Reward has around ~8% usually and ~15% on Gold ones.
again. rng in investigation is influenced by difficulty. where did you get your numbers? I call bullshit
Regarding meal vouchers, they are a very common reward in the time attack arena. I have done all the arena quests and have 27 meal vouchers. A very easy way to top them up.
Pretty sure I mentioned "for those that do not want to do the arena" lol. you can also get a ton of them through the Argosy captain by selecting "trade in Items" Having to farm another quests to get vouchers decreases the efficiency of it.
Thanks, I didn't know about the argosy.
When I take poogie up he sometimes just falls asleep instead of digging up a voucher. Is that something that has a work around?
The guild cross set does better for say Zorah, teo, and Xeno Jiiva, maybe Nerg if you decorate defensively it's kind of squishy. (Great Luck)
Sounds awesome! I need to get some gems for the Devil Sword Charge blade, this really helps! Thanks!
don't listen to this liar! he doesn't know what he's talking about! do investigations with difficulty modifiers (15 min, 2 man no death is the best) Don't waste your time with luck unless you really want extra normal rewards (not bonus or investigation---where the gems and stones drop)

7:37 One gem was a reward for a head break, other was a special reward.
Can also get a lot of vouchers for completing arena quest. (From the arena lass in the Gathering Hub not special arena quests.) Did a bunch of those and now I'm sitting on 50+ Vouchers.
Meh, if it's for elders you're better of with the commissioner armor or the guild one, i prefer the extra carve, and if you use the beta you have wiggle room for Decs best suited for each elder
I have a pink rathian with four gold rewards, bronze don't give gems you can check the percentages on gaijin hunter
You are a true hero sir :) Subscribed to your channel and liked this video. I'll watch other videos you posted. cheers mate :)
Lance Seaman I once was trying to get 4 weeks one legiana gem and I ended up getting two of them it made me so happy
I seem to get a lot of gems from the all silver rewards. Great vid!
Great video keep it up 💪
Thanks 4 uploading this video. l farmed Uragaan over ten times before I looked up this up in got the gem on the second try thanks.
All I need for the Dante Sword is one Ajanath gem. I've cleared Code Red probably 12 times, and still no luck. Been breaking Ajan's face and severing its tail, too. Gonna try faing an investigation and see if I have better luck there.
2 man , 15 min, no death normal investation with silver and gold rewards. break everything, take the bonus carve meal and you're pretty much guaranteed. LUCK PERK WON'T add anything to your chances.
I've actually had pretty damn good luck getting gems and plates in this game. I got a Xeno one the first time I fought it and I swear the only part we broke was the tail. Guess my WoW luck carried over
RetroMarineX13 Only 1 Xeno gem in a whole fight?
Dude, you must be the unluckiest guy in the world...
xeno gems drop frequently. Most ive gotten was 3 in one kill, 2 carving and 1 from the rewards
What kind of luck do u guys have
I carved 2 gems from his tail and one from his body but 30 plus daora kills and still no gem.
Bazelguese has 4 carves, yesterday 2/4 carves were gems XD Tail just gave me the tail
4:30 how do you get vouchers? I've gotten maybe for out of questing, and about two more for daily login bonus but that's it. Is there any other way then dropping Poogie on the Handler?
Tuna Samich do the arena at the Gathering Hall.
It’s not 100% but usually you get one food voucher each run
You can get vouchers from the arena quests pretty reliably
Guild cross set gives you high chance for rewards for those elder dragon gems.
Thanks for the info. I'm new 2 monster hunter so this helps
I've killed nergigante 39+ times with one gem given, sucks. Hope this helps.
Can you wear your normal gear and then just swap to Kirin set bonus right before a capture? Or do you need to start and complete the mission in the set for it to work?
You know, why not just use Gold Wvyerian print to exchange for the gem of your choice at the Elder melder?
Star Wars: The Last Jedi because we only get one once a week
Superbed3 Why not! Be patient and wait for the weekly assignment to come , I can tell you it's WORTH IT. The fact that it's RNG based and you need to fight the same elder dragon 10-20 times just for the one chance for it to drop is pretty tedious and exhausting.
Do the Weekly assignment, get gold wvyerian print and exchange for the gem of your choice, boom , it's done. Saved you heaps of trouble and you can focus on farming other tempered monster tracks or killing em
its not 10-20 times if you do investigations with vouchers. By the time you wait a week you could have done the investigations and get a gem or 2 in an hour or less
id recommend wasting the prints on gems to monsters you really hate fighting
Because the route that you suggested is EXTREMELY SLOW!
Subscribed to prevent any more tragic Palico deaths, and help stop the cruel practice of Poogie Punting.
Speaking of Poogie, anyone else notice that their Divine Blessing skill activates more often if you're friends with Poogs? I swear it's happening, but only if I don't pick up any items from him in the trade yard. Not being friends seems to trigger the skill, on average, every four injuries or so. After being friends it procs about every third hit, from my observation. Not a big difference, but noticeable if you pay close attention.
Thanks i hope this works i have been trying to get the Deviljho Gem which is annoying. A: because the Devijho is a fartknocker which we already knew but also that i am doing it alone and it takes me 20 minutes to hunt him once
Back in the days we don't have guides we just break everything.
Got a lagania plate and gem and then got a wyvern gem fighting diablos. Need to finish my canteen quests
Does the Legiana 2 piece and Kirin 3 piece set bonuses increase the chance for getting higher rarity feystones at the end of a tempered investigation?
does this work the same if i go in a quest with my usual equip and than switch to this that you've shown, just before capturing/slaying the monster?
I get so many of the rare drops it's to the point where it gets frustrating when I'm farming for the more common stuff, most recently being Odog fangs. I have about 70 some odd gems, but I'm still at only 8 or so fangs. Just give it to me! I want ma Sin blades
Will it be okay if i wear different set of armor for fighting the monster and when the monster about to die , i change the set that you mention in the video?
Who is this Leggy Anna I keep hearing about? She sounds hot!
But she's very cold-hearted...
Lol nice pun!XD
Meld them. Plus I have a hard time just finding Poogie! It’s like he’s Houdini! Plus I’m currently farming Nerg’s Horn+ and boy is it tough. He heals quickly, it’s titanium compared to Diablos’ Glass Horns, and Randoms don’t help at all. No e of my friends like farming so I’m basically alone on this.
Is sad.
its alot easier to break parts solo anyways, you will most likely kill him before the part breaks in a group unless everyone focus on it
Use the partbreaker skill in solo
Honestly, just do tempered nergigante investigations. I had trouble farming the nerg's horn+ too, now I'm getting them pretty much every time just from carving without breaking the head.
In solo get a nice ore hammer with part breaker and you can smash that easily.
user96RR If he has trouble with a nerg as he describes, he is mostly far from being hr 50
Not the first time I've heard someone say Legania rather than Legiana. Now that those balls are busted, nice video.
Do vouchers (not meals) affect rewards or just gold?
Poogies get kicked!! Love it man! I lik e this series too bonghitter007 hunt with mehh
How did you get that hairstyle? I downloaded all the PSN ones and still can’t seem to find it?
Any ideas on how to get streamstones? I have been getting warrior's and hero's stones for pretty much every weapon, except the one I use: hammer!
having the same difficulties unfortunately :(
TagBackTV Me too.I keep getting them for weapons I will never use :/
user96RR use a different weapon thats what i did got what i needed on my 3rd hunt wasnt droppin the weapon i use either til i tried dat hope it helps!
Hey cant find anything about my problem maybe you know? But every time I carve or capture monsters it'll show i get the loot at the loot screen but when I go to Astera I dont have it
Hey guys... I just finished farming my 2nd glimstone from kulve taroth for the full set before the event ends on pc... Now I can die peacefully from old age... Thanks capcom
I got a total of 20 gems from kulve Taroth hahaha from farming 2hrs at night for like a week with my friends
I don’t have lucky cat as an option under that meal. Is that a weekly skill or something?
You can also get vouchers in the arena quests!
does lucky cat from kitchen and gear stack?
And poogles has only a chance to give you a voucher when he jumps happily around when you pet him
yes . all luck perks stack . full great luck plus meal will fill the regular rewards squares. (not buff rolls, not add bonus and increase chances for anything good)
What happens to the Lucky Cat Food Buffs if you faint or the time exceeds the buff ?
After a high usage the plunderblade and alot of investigation farming.
Your bonuses from things such as "breaking head" is listed in "Quest Rewards". This can be a gem. The "Capture rewards" if you read the "Bonus Rewards". Will never hold a specific monster gem. That is gems such as Odogaron, Legiana, Raphalos, Rathian, etc, etc.
However, common gem names, that uses a broad name can be stolen with the plunderblade as well as gotten as capture rewards. Wyvern gems and Bird Wyvern gems.
For example: in the start of the video. Your Odogaron gems were for breaking his head + gold investigation. Look at 0:07 and you'll see what I mean. The description clearly says "Break Odogaron's head". That's why you got the gem. It is NOT one of the capture rewards.
Your video seems to go on alot of gut feeling, and not actual drop values that are known. I understand if you are that type of person who prefers their gut over facts, but this is kinda misleading people. Being informative requires to really know what you're saying before you're saying it.
tailrider stole me a rath gem once
The worst feeling is when you do this and you get 2 plates and then a gold reward that is also a plate ...
I’ve got gem off carving and as well as investigation.. and if you want to break easily his parts, can you use the skills to severe damage his breakable parts?
RNG is the cruelest thing in the game, in one run I got 3 Val Hazaak gems, one on the regular rewards, one for breaking its stomach and one as an investigation reward. But I broke 6 Val's heads in a row and every time it gave me a Membrane instead of a Fang ;_;
Liked and subscribed 😁👍
Tag you character looks good with that build! and thanks for the great info!
Was very helpful
I started getting gems from craving like the xeno and odogoron but it was just those two
On thing that this is lacking is what decorations do you put on the armor, you never showed that.
so investigations rare drop rate are higher than normal quests?
luck skill only adds slots in normal reward, not bonus or investigation
this advice is bunk unless you run arch tempered where those things drop. want gems. break everything and take the bonus carve meal . want stream stones? run arch tempered with as much luck as you can get. or tempered elders. (no luck required). Don't listen to this video . It's totally BS. Luck only adds extra normal reward slots. lucky meal and great luck perk (guild suit) with fill both normal reward lines. nabbing you a tone of normal reward (usually low level monster parts/bones/armor. UNLESS its arch tempered which drop streamstones in the normal reward slot. THIS VIDEO IS TOTALLY WRONG
Is there any tutorial on how to get all the Lucky Cat ingredients?
Yesterday I got 4 Platten from Rathian for a task, after the second assignment I got 2 gems as a reward, without Bootser.
Daniel the Shadow well you just using all your spare luck for a week, maybe more. Prepare for a train of bad luck ahead.
I know this was for mhw but im wondering does this work for mhwib? Im having a hard time getting a uragaan pallium
If i need a gem, i just fight the monster until I get one. What pisses me off though is how often you need Wyvern Gems. I need at least 10 to upgrade/augment the armour and weapons that I want and have been grinding for hours... days... fucking a week. They are way to little drops for how many times you need them.
Vaal hazak, 2 person, 15 minute, 1 faint
5 gold rewards
I got shell, tail, shell wing and wing
In the gold slots
While my friend got 3 fangs, a gem, amd a wing
There’s an investigation for black veil that has like 5 gold slots. I got the gem from the rewards 😬
Wouldn't the Guild Cross set bonus be better for this?
what charms are you using?
Xbox one user : anyone else is getting randomly disconnected during a game? Usually happens after I join a 2nd SOS.
Does this help with augment farming?
Wait! Don't forget to get 3 lvls in part breaker so can more easily break parts and get more rewards
Funny thing is... i have plunder blades and i am farming teostra gems but dont get em and i forgot to switch to plunder blades cuz i use the coral orchestra XD
