*IT CAN BE MELDED NOW* On September 30 2020, update version 15.01, the Mighty Bow jewel was added to the Elder Melder (also Elementless Jewel 2, Shield Jewel 2, Sharp Jewel 2, Dragonseal Jewel 3 and Mind's Eye Jewel 2.) That means you can exchange a bunch of decos you don't want for that specific one. It isn't expensive. I hope people watching the video sees this comment, would be cool if it got pinned.
@@CosmicFluster115 Did you have to wait to get to guiding lands first to be able to meld it bro? let me know please. I just finished shrieking legiana recently story wise and still got some work till end of story.
Just do The Name's Lavasioth over 200 times. I eventually got guard up, minds eye and mighty bow. Put on a good audiobook and hunt it quickly with bow.
I got mine finally from The Great Jagras event quest that just came back. I highly recommend doing this event for old decorations because the amount of decos he drops is INSANE. I had been playing for 400+ hours, and got mine finally after 2 Great Jagras runs.
Got it immediately after watching a TDS Bow Build guide and seeing that I need one, literally the next mission, which was my 6th Greatest Jagras mission overall. Laughed my ass off. I was a new player as well, was only around 60HR and not even completely done with Iceborne main quest line.
But you can get Capacity Boost from Elder Melder with Silver Tickets. So just head to the guiding lands, farm there 1 hour for bones and ore. And then let the mini game run, get silver tickets and in no time you will have it
@@m.h.4907 jsut so you know, its harder getting silver/gold tickets without any festival events, i suggest stack up on fuel and just AFK your character in the steam works DURING festival events , way waaay higher chance for silver/gold tickets :)
@@kyahboii good advice and a little sarcasm. I like that. But you are right. My bad, forgot that there is no festival now. Anyway Tempered in GL will do it also
Me And My Friend Have Done Some Extensive Testing On This And We've Agreed That The Greatest Jagras Was The Better Source Of Farming, While Lava Fish Drops Quality, The Jagras Gives Quantity Which Usually Ends Up Being 2-3 Good Decos And The Rest Are Just Utility Decs. Meld All Excess Decos At Melder Will Some Gleaming Stream Stones That's How I Got My Guard Up.
@@andresbarboza594 I think they were just added with the last update, no quest needed. Just go check out the melder I guess, she also has guard up and all the fancy rare decos that take years to farm.
Large Baboon interesting, I think it might be locked behind a certain MR because I do not have it and need it badly lol I read about the notes where they added it so actually came back to play exactly because of that. I did not have iceborne before so my MR currently is only 7.
Large Baboon nah your good man, information you provided is correct. I just gotta beat the story to iceborne and it unlocks, got confirmation from a buddy that’s already completed it. Thanks
Silver Tickets definitely give Mighty Bow decos. I have 2 Mighty Bow decos . And 2 Minds Eyes. Naturally, I'm a HBG main, and the Guard Up deco refuses to drop.
Yeah, don't know where he got his info from, but it is wrong. The silver return decos from the worn feystone table. If he could provide a source that would be great.
It must be incredibly rare then i decided to test on pc and do over 4000 of each ticket to see what they can give and none of the 3 tickets gave guard up, mighty bow, or minds eye jewels.
I have to say thank you so much for your videos man. I’m a new player and I was lacking big time on decos. This video helped me get the deco after my tenth run / fight. Thank you keep it up and keep bring those new player tips videos.
I'm actually so annoyed right now, after I saw this video I did the greatest Jagras quest and I got the mighty bow jewel on my first run. I'm trying to get guard up
Lavasioth gives more warped jewelry therefore more chance for rare decos. Jagras is good when you barely have any of the base decos (Attack, Critical Eye, Vitality, etc)
I remember when you were telling people those events were a waste of people's time😒, I tried to disagree but I'm sure I don't have to tell you how that went.
after 400+ Hours in Iceborne i finally got my Guard Up Decoration from AT Teostra, but in the meantime i got 12 Spread...11 Pierce and 2 Mighty Bow from Melting. Since i dont care about Ranged Weapons and like playing Gunlance the pain was real xD
I actually got my mighty bow jewel 2 decoration today from the extreme behemoth quest. My lord it felt great! Happy Hunting & good luck on your deco farming :)
I remember having a hard time to get the Guard Up jewel, having more than 500 hours in Iceborne and still no sight of it, until I went back to beat the "The Name's Lavasioth" quest and got it on the first try. You're definitely have a higher chance to get the Mighty Bow jewel with this quest.
@@refullwest7929 Supposedly you can get the Attack +4 gem in the tempered Zinogre event quest, but had no luck at all; been repeating that quest over 30 times.
Yes, I would be very interested in builds without might bow, I’m getting into bow, it is a great weapon, but lacking that decoration makes the effort twice as hard.
Not gonna lie its almost pointless playing it without the deco,aside from it being the biggest damage increase to bow, you also build bad habits that you'll need to change when you eventually get it. But just have fun, there are builds if you dont have it, just look around
The bows freakin awsome. Its my 2nd. First time i saw it played "right?" it blew my mind away. I was using it super slow up until the first kushala fight and some dude just wrecked it dbz style with the charge dash and spread shots.
Honestly, just do a crit boost instead. It's not great but it's something. The 3 normal > spread combo is about the same, spamming dash > normal > spread > dash > normal > spread is about 10% in favor of mighty bow in my builds. It's the 4 normal > spread that greatly favors mighty bow. The biggest thing though is if you have fun then it's worth it. It's a game, it's not about running optimal BiS at all times.
Thank you for the info, because I'm trying to get the sharp jewel and I have no idea how to get it and you confirmed my best idea since the jagras, and laviosith event arent in yet. Thank you!!!
RNGesus Unfortunately because of the number of decoration in existence alongside new one on Iceborne, although unlikely there is a chance that you might never get every single decoration despite grinding for them, if only there is an increase of chance in getting the decoration that you don't have compared to a copy of a decoration that you already have I fortunately have every single old jewel but I can see how some people might not have the luck or new player that didn't grind enough of old content like greatest jagras etc would have a very hard time since increase of the jewel pool on Iceborne which mean a lower chance of getting anything specific I really wish Capcom would either make all if not most Jewel tradable on elder melder/craftable on smithy or make some kind of system where you are guarantee to get the item you want though it might require a lot of material/grind
Not sure if anyone else notices but I seemed to not get many of these deco's until I "got one" then it seemed to rain them all the time(like silver melding tickets) unfortunately, still havent "unlocked" Guard Up....after like 1200 hours
i didnt know that mighty bow jewel was so hard to get, inn fact it was one of the very first innnteresting jewels i've got in mh, critical boost in the other hand, it took me 400hrs+ of gameplay to get :S
Iceborne has been to kind to me giving me all these usefull decos i didnt have and been farming for endless hours... Handicraft, guard up, capacity boost, just go to elder casino and pray to the sapphire star and the old gods.
You can farm worn feystones with Elder Melder using other decos. It works like: 1st time drop is poop, 2nd time it gets better, 3rd time you should get the best loot then it resets. If you do 1st draw and get nothing, go on the quest/expedition whatever, then return and do it again, you will automatically get the best drop afterwards (that is if I recall correctly). Got few nice jewels like that feeding the jewels I won't ever use lol ;).
After doing some research (reading comments), the best way to get the rare jewel you want is by not looking for it. It's like when you missing your key or something, you never find them when you were looking for it, but found it when looking for something else.
Restarted an account. I spammed the events (Jagras, Lavasioth, and Steam) like hell. I got every jewel multiple times, almost 30 of each of the same rarity, even two more Mind’s Eye. I gave up. Played insect glaive on HR Vaal Hazak and you know what dropped. Yep. THAT.
So happy you put this info up!! I still don’t have guard up....Guard Up has a drop rate of 0.30% from Warped feystones. Easier to be struck by Lightning.
yeah, it can drop from silver, i have seen another video on youtube where a dude cashed in as many silver as he could at once, not only did mighty bow drop, but spread and normal shots dropped all at the same time. i could never be that lucky.
I got this gem a couple of weeks ago during the greatest jagras hunt when i was farming for guard up. When i read the name out loud my bow main guild member got pissed
Got my single Mighty Bow Jewel from the Silver tickets after almost 900hrs of play, I've farmed tons of Lavasioth and tempered investigations but never got a single one, but the few times I've did the Silver Alchemy method rewarded me with a larger amount of quality decos than any other method so far. Even if you don't get the Mighty Bow you may still get some other rare ones while you do it. Guard Up deco however is stil a dream and I'm past 1k hrs now. Can't wait for the next festival.
What's up gameconomist,I got my Mighty Bow Jewel,after 1000 hours in from a HR Tempered Odogeron,man I was so happy,I'm 1500 hours in now and haven't seen another one since.Very rare drop.
The Desire Sensor is real. Back in vanilla I got like 7 Might Bows while looking for Mind's Eye. I only got it when they gave it away as a Login Bonus. Regardless, that mission rocks! Ready your Safi's Aquashot, set up your farm, load your Sticky Ammo and go hunt that Lavasioth.
Nice video man, i’m new to bow, it seems spread jewel is higher tier than mighty bow cause its size 3 need 2 pieces to max, how is it damage wise? Which one should i priotize?
Builds without Mighty Bow would be great. With how rare the gem is, it's fair to assume a large percentage of people don't have it, so it feels like a lot of bow builds don't apply to us.
Lance/Bow main, just got mine 1,000 hours in. Greatest Jagras finally coughed up the goods. Now I need shield deco. Jagras rewards 1-3 warped on a kill, it feels faster. The game gave everything I would ever need for Bowgun, 6 spread, 3 pierce, 8 artillery, 3 trueshot, and 4 special ammo boost.
Deco drops in this game are literally insane. I farmed at the end game of base world. ~430 ish HR I had only 1 handicraft and release gem and not a single force shot jewel to my name. I’ve gotten quite a few since then but those event quests was capcom addressing that god awful rng. So I’m happy we’ve gotten so many more options.
I could of swore i seen a guide somewhere on youtube that told all optional quests that have to be completed before unlocking certain stuff and i could of swore their was some for decorations? But i can't seem to find the video again. So is their any decorations that are gated behind optional quests or things you must do first? The reason i ask is because when using melding tickets for deco's i notice each time for steel for instance i get the exact same deco's every time even the 3 stars to one stars are exactly the same everyime i turn them in with 40 at a time.
You can get the Critical boost jewel from Silver melding tickets and it has very similar loot table on the wiki (only worn and warped marked with same percentage odds). I suppose its possible to get the mighty bow too from Silver melding. Edit. The wiki might be incorrect or so I had heard.
I remember getting my first one when I was a bow main.... BOY! was I hype as FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK lol. That's the best thing the elder melder gave me, I used so many points and melded so many deco's. PC and PS4 players who don't mind using a editor, just use that and bam! Problem solved.
@@FunfettiShortcake thanks man 👍. I managed to get the guard up jewel today but still no luck on the others. Will still keep grinding and fingers crossed i get lucky.
@@fatalassassin6933 it's so weird how RNG is. I don't have a single Focus jewel, but people I know have so many. Hopefully you get everything you're looking for soon
Still in early IB as a friend is still stuck with the Barioth. Played the entirety of MHW without Mighty Bow, but I’m guessing I’m not doing quite as much damage as I should. @TheGameconomist - any chance you could help with some non-MB builds please?
Funny you upload this the day after I got 2 might bow jewels....yea, I literally got 2 of em yesterday from farming tempered velkhanas in the guiding lands.
Other than Attack decorations (obviously), the thing I had the hardest time unlocking in base game was Artillery. Just wish I had known Spread/Power and Normal Shots would gain another tier in Iceborne so I didn't meld my extras ages ago... Had to farm more of them when it came out.
Actually the elder melder steamworks farm gives this decoration. Infact I got all my ultra rare ones from doing that. Prior to that farming, I didnt even know things like a mushroom mancer, minds eye, or handicraft gems existed. That's after 800 plus hours if playing.
I pulled 2 mighty bow jewels from silver melding tickets within about 20 minutes of each other, and my friend got spread and normal shots from his. It may not be optimal but they do definitely drop all of the decorations a bow user wants.
i feel so lucky, i just got this a while ago by killing HR nergigante on an sos. came from a worn feystone. after 300 hours of playing i got this. keep grinding guys :)
Just don't take the enjoyment away by trying too much, play casually doing threat 3 tempered investigations and you'll be surprised what you get. I have 14 of these jewels and didn't think I had more than 2 or 3 until i recently checked. Got like 5 guard up and a few sharp and about 3 mind's eye also. 1 week gifted me 3 evasion +4 decs, 1 atk +4 dec and 2 expert +4 decs I didn't even notice picking up. +4 agitator +4 resentment and +4 latent power are also surprisingly common this way too. The Hard elemental resistance jewels are probably my favourite decs though. 1 lvl 4 jewel gets max level ele res. Ideal use as an example is the safi fight, use dragonproof mantle and glider mantle then slot a hard dragon res into your glider + other dec of choice and the refresh times are so close you're almost never without a mantle equipped and still benefit from dragon damage protection. Hard Thunder and Hard water on glider offer good protection against namielle :). Wide range lvl 1 on gear and 2 friendship+4 on glider also very useful. But remember not to use anything that has an effect duration without the mantle on otherwise you'll reduce party members applied buffs. Sorry went off the track a bit but hope the extra mini rant is helpful for others. Don't make it a chore or you'll end up hating the game. Learning to use CB made me feel like a day 1 rookie all over again(at 1800+ hours) and i was drying up cart supplies against piss weak creatures. Started to resent everything because i was just getting beaten over and over so stopped trying so hard before I quit. I'd forgotten to enjoy the game cuz of the "git gud" attitude i had trying to be CB pro with no experience. Same applies to everything really. Take your time and enjoy the journey. Dunno why everyone raves bout guard up anyway. Only a few uncommonly encountered attacks need it and that's if you decide you really need to guard it rather than evade.(rajang beam being more common but if you need to guard it you've prob missed the window and been wrecked by it as it's such a fast attack) Rule of thumb is if it's a breath attack/beam attack it'll most likely require guard up, however rathian/los fireballs don't need it. Chances are the chip damage will mash you up anyway. Shara beam will vapourize you if you aren't facing at a repellant angle when it hits you. So don't screw yourself for not having the dec. It's meh anyway.
Guard Up drops from Master Rank Tempered. It is still freakishly rare, took me 400+ HR and 320+ MR to get. Also I think there is an algorithm that lower the chances if you havent finished all the optional quests. Rare Jewels started dropping for me recently after I decided to finish the optionals just for lols
I got mighty bow from guild alchemy, as well as several crit eye and attack jewel lvl 1. I’ve gotten 1 mighty bow jewel, 2-3 attack jewel and 4 crit eye jewels. I got this awhile back so it could have been from the feystone melding. Nevertheless it’s 100% possible. One tip is to use the melding tickets to meld as many gems as possible then meld those gems for the feystones.
I'm not typically a superstitious person but I'm convinced from personal experience and reading maybe dozens of comments just like yours that the drop rates are higher for the rare decos that only apply to the weapons that players never use
Thank you for the video. I've been maining bow since the very beginning, having 500+ hours of playtime with PC and PS4 combined, and still I never got a Mighty Bow jewel. As a bow main. And it makes me sad xD
*You'll need to use this method of farming to unlock the Guard Up decoration as well*
I have obtained 3 mighty bow and 2 sharpness from silver melding so kairinku isnt updated yet
I do have got Mighty bow from Silver melding tickets, i'm stocking up steam to try again my luck next time for guard up
Good to know, people should use up all their tickets then.
Thanks for the video, was wondering if you could link this deco drop table you're referencing?
I've been farming the greatest jaggerous I got protective polish last night and guard up but it not bow yet
Non-bow mains: Huh didn't know I had this.
Bow mains: Nani?!
I'm in this camp. I'm an old player and just started to get interested in the bow, and yeah I have 8 of these decorations just laying around.
Literally what i was thinking when i saw this.
yeah i have it pre iceborn and i dont know :/ i dont find the bow to do much damage for me even with a good set.
I have one and I rarely use it, I'm focused more on spread damage...
I have like seven of them
*IT CAN BE MELDED NOW*
On September 30 2020, update version 15.01, the Mighty Bow jewel was added to the Elder Melder (also Elementless Jewel 2, Shield Jewel 2, Sharp Jewel 2, Dragonseal Jewel 3 and Mind's Eye Jewel 2.)
That means you can exchange a bunch of decos you don't want for that specific one. It isn't expensive.

For real. It is literally the only base MHW jewel I dont have a single one of.
@@terminalarch6767 Yeah :P i looted 2 more Mighty bow's now since that comment from the Lavasioth event quest but still no Shield Jewel *cry*
idk why but this video along with your voice with it is so soothing
Hang on, I got one mighty bow from carved feystone
After doing some research (reading comments), the best way to get the rare jewel you want is by not looking for it. It's like when you missing your key or something, you never find them when you were looking for it, but found it when looking for something else.
funny cuz i finally got one today when i'm not even trying to get it, and i'm a bow main with like, 8 greatsword hunts and thousands of bow hunts.
Lmao... Same here...
Thank you for this man. I really appreciate this vid and your general farming advice
Restarted an account. I spammed the events (Jagras, Lavasioth, and Steam) like hell. I got every jewel multiple times, almost 30 of each of the same rarity, even two more Mind’s Eye.
I gave up. Played insect glaive on HR Vaal Hazak and you know what dropped. Yep. THAT.
So happy you put this info up!! I still don’t have guard up....Guard Up has a drop rate of 0.30% from Warped feystones. Easier to be struck by Lightning.
I’m still kinda new to the game
We only need one mighty bow decoration in our equipment right ?
Yessir
crazymonkey 7041 thanks for the reply.
You can’t say that you will never get mighty bow from guild alchemy because that’s where I got one of my decorations from
I’m a longsword player, I don’t ever touch bows, and I got this yesterday from a first Wyverian ritual lol.
Definitely want to see some good builds without mighty bow gem PLZ
I disagree, i got like 4 mightbow deco and 1 guard up from silver melding tickets. I just dont have any screenshots for proof tho. idk if anyone else.
yeah, it can drop from silver, i have seen another video on youtube where a dude cashed in as many silver as he could at once, not only did mighty bow drop, but spread and normal shots dropped all at the same time. i could never be that lucky.
hunterd78 I’ve been farming this quest for about 3-4 hours and I’ve gotten 2 normal shots and 1 pierce shot jewel but sadly no mighty bow
I got this gem a couple of weeks ago during the greatest jagras hunt when i was farming for guard up. When i read the name out loud my bow main guild member got pissed
Capacity Boost Decoration is HARD to Unlock
I guess I got lucky, yesterday I got it when farming great jagras.
Lmao i got like 4
Only if you missed the silver ticket melding events. I got like 30 of them.
Got 2 in one lavasioth run tonight 🤷🏼♂️
Basegame yes, iceborne they drop like poison jewels 😂
I'm blessed enough to have all decorations needed to make any build in base game. Mighty bow, spread, forceshot, guard up etc. Thank you RNG.
Bruh theese first comments are annoying
me: sees title
me: i know right
also me with 3 mighty bow decos before i even started playing bow
Got my single Mighty Bow Jewel from the Silver tickets after almost 900hrs of play, I've farmed tons of Lavasioth and tempered investigations but never got a single one, but the few times I've did the Silver Alchemy method rewarded me with a larger amount of quality decos than any other method so far. Even if you don't get the Mighty Bow you may still get some other rare ones while you do it. Guard Up deco however is stil a dream and I'm past 1k hrs now. Can't wait for the next festival.
What's up gameconomist,I got my Mighty Bow Jewel,after 1000 hours in from a HR Tempered Odogeron,man I was so happy,I'm 1500 hours in now and haven't seen another one since.Very rare drop.
Literally just got this beauty from doing black diablos in the guiding lands.
Now i can ditch my Legiana junk, and explore my options!
Great video. And the non-mighty bow builds suggestion seems like a good idea
The Desire Sensor is real. Back in vanilla I got like 7 Might Bows while looking for Mind's Eye. I only got it when they gave it away as a Login Bonus.
Regardless, that mission rocks! Ready your Safi's Aquashot, set up your farm, load your Sticky Ammo and go hunt that Lavasioth.
Holy shit! I was checking my box and didn't realize I had the decoration already. Crazy.
Didn't even know about this jewel. I have it now. Thanks a lot
Laughs at my 7 mighty bows, minds eyes, and protective polishes while I cry in my lack of guard up
I went on this quest and got two mightybows in one day but no shield:(
Strange stream melding worked surprisingly well for me when I was farming for guard up gem, got it in about round 3
I feel so lucky now, literally built my first bow set, saw a video about the mighty bow jewel and got it randomly within three or four quests xD
I was watching your video while doing the lavasioth quest at the same time. and I got Mighty Bow Deco at the end XD
Nice video man, i’m new to bow, it seems spread jewel is higher tier than mighty bow cause its size 3 need 2 pieces to max, how is it damage wise? Which one should i priotize?
This background music makes me wanna play minecraft again
Builds without Mighty Bow would be great. With how rare the gem is, it's fair to assume a large percentage of people don't have it, so it feels like a lot of bow builds don't apply to us.
Lance/Bow main, just got mine 1,000 hours in. Greatest Jagras finally coughed up the goods. Now I need shield deco. Jagras rewards 1-3 warped on a kill, it feels faster. The game gave everything I would ever need for Bowgun, 6 spread, 3 pierce, 8 artillery, 3 trueshot, and 4 special ammo boost.
Deco drops in this game are literally insane. I farmed at the end game of base world. ~430 ish HR I had only 1 handicraft and release gem and not a single force shot jewel to my name. I’ve gotten quite a few since then but those event quests was capcom addressing that god awful rng. So I’m happy we’ve gotten so many more options.
As a bow main myself, i have like 3 of these....I’m glad i lucked out back then...
Holy furball! I just got this deco past few days when I farming Shield Jewel! I guess I'm gonna try bow build after this...
I have a mighty bow deco and I don't even know where I got it from but I'm glad I have it lol
Wow I didn't realize how many rare decorations drops I have 👌
Well the greatest jagras mission out right now
I could of swore i seen a guide somewhere on youtube that told all optional quests that have to be completed before unlocking certain stuff and i could of swore their was some for decorations? But i can't seem to find the video again. So is their any decorations that are gated behind optional quests or things you must do first? The reason i ask is because when using melding tickets for deco's i notice each time for steel for instance i get the exact same deco's every time even the 3 stars to one stars are exactly the same everyime i turn them in with 40 at a time.
You can get the Critical boost jewel from Silver melding tickets and it has very similar loot table on the wiki (only worn and warped marked with same percentage odds). I suppose its possible to get the mighty bow too from Silver melding.
Edit. The wiki might be incorrect or so I had heard.
I remember getting my first one when I was a bow main.... BOY! was I hype as FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK lol. That's the best thing the elder melder gave me, I used so many points and melded so many deco's.
PC and PS4 players who don't mind using a editor, just use that and bam! Problem solved.
Did this for about an hour or so and finally got it! I have about 200 hours in MHW, and was finally able to get it. Thank you for this video!
800 hours here and i have neither of those jewels 😢
@@fatalassassin6933 damn that sucks. Well, hopefully this quest can get it for you. Good luck!
@@FunfettiShortcake thanks man 👍. I managed to get the guard up jewel today but still no luck on the others. Will still keep grinding and fingers crossed i get lucky.
@@fatalassassin6933 it's so weird how RNG is. I don't have a single Focus jewel, but people I know have so many. Hopefully you get everything you're looking for soon
@@FunfettiShortcake hopefully we both do. Got to just keep grinding this quest. Seems to be the best way to try get those jewel.
Still in early IB as a friend is still stuck with the Barioth. Played the entirety of MHW without Mighty Bow, but I’m guessing I’m not doing quite as much damage as I should. @TheGameconomist - any chance you could help with some non-MB builds please?
I have 2 guard up jewels and 1 mighty bow jewel without even realizing
Funny you upload this the day after I got 2 might bow jewels....yea, I literally got 2 of em yesterday from farming tempered velkhanas in the guiding lands.
Other than Attack decorations (obviously), the thing I had the hardest time unlocking in base game was Artillery.
Just wish I had known Spread/Power and Normal Shots would gain another tier in Iceborne so I didn't meld my extras ages ago... Had to farm more of them when it came out.
Actually the elder melder steamworks farm gives this decoration. Infact I got all my ultra rare ones from doing that. Prior to that farming, I didnt even know things like a mushroom mancer, minds eye, or handicraft gems existed. That's after 800 plus hours if playing.
The Minecraft soundtrack in the background is very relaxing after trying to clap Raging Brachy 4 times with the bois...
Watching this video got me mighty bow jewel I forever love you
I pulled 2 mighty bow jewels from silver melding tickets within about 20 minutes of each other, and my friend got spread and normal shots from his. It may not be optimal but they do definitely drop all of the decorations a bow user wants.
Tfw you get 2 Mighty Bow drops at once, but still no Guard Up, which was the goal for the farming session in the first place
i feel so lucky, i just got this a while ago by killing HR nergigante on an sos. came from a worn feystone. after 300 hours of playing i got this. keep grinding guys :)
Doing high rank tempered investigations is the best way I've heard
Just don't take the enjoyment away by trying too much, play casually doing threat 3 tempered investigations and you'll be surprised what you get. I have 14 of these jewels and didn't think I had more than 2 or 3 until i recently checked. Got like 5 guard up and a few sharp and about 3 mind's eye also. 1 week gifted me 3 evasion +4 decs, 1 atk +4 dec and 2 expert +4 decs I didn't even notice picking up. +4 agitator +4 resentment and +4 latent power are also surprisingly common this way too. The Hard elemental resistance jewels are probably my favourite decs though. 1 lvl 4 jewel gets max level ele res. Ideal use as an example is the safi fight, use dragonproof mantle and glider mantle then slot a hard dragon res into your glider + other dec of choice and the refresh times are so close you're almost never without a mantle equipped and still benefit from dragon damage protection. Hard Thunder and Hard water on glider offer good protection against namielle :). Wide range lvl 1 on gear and 2 friendship+4 on glider also very useful. But remember not to use anything that has an effect duration without the mantle on otherwise you'll reduce party members applied buffs. Sorry went off the track a bit but hope the extra mini rant is helpful for others. Don't make it a chore or you'll end up hating the game. Learning to use CB made me feel like a day 1 rookie all over again(at 1800+ hours) and i was drying up cart supplies against piss weak creatures. Started to resent everything because i was just getting beaten over and over so stopped trying so hard before I quit. I'd forgotten to enjoy the game cuz of the "git gud" attitude i had trying to be CB pro with no experience. Same applies to everything really. Take your time and enjoy the journey. Dunno why everyone raves bout guard up anyway. Only a few uncommonly encountered attacks need it and that's if you decide you really need to guard it rather than evade.(rajang beam being more common but if you need to guard it you've prob missed the window and been wrecked by it as it's such a fast attack) Rule of thumb is if it's a breath attack/beam attack it'll most likely require guard up, however rathian/los fireballs don't need it. Chances are the chip damage will mash you up anyway. Shara beam will vapourize you if you aren't facing at a repellant angle when it hits you. So don't screw yourself for not having the dec. It's meh anyway.
I got immensely fortunate. First The Greatest Jagras I did and I got it.
I just got my mighty bow jewel from the quest "the names lavisioth" event quest a few days ago. Only took me 2 times farming him
U sir have given me hope once more
I have 450 hrs, 350 of those are the base game, I have neither of these jewels. FUCK
Guard Up drops from Master Rank Tempered. It is still freakishly rare, took me 400+ HR and 320+ MR to get. Also I think there is an algorithm that lower the chances if you havent finished all the optional quests. Rare Jewels started dropping for me recently after I decided to finish the optionals just for lols
I got mighty bow from guild alchemy, as well as several crit eye and attack jewel lvl 1. I’ve gotten 1 mighty bow jewel, 2-3 attack jewel and 4 crit eye jewels. I got this awhile back so it could have been from the feystone melding. Nevertheless it’s 100% possible. One tip is to use the melding tickets to meld as many gems as possible then meld those gems for the feystones.
Watching this video makes me appreciate that I have a really rare gem; Mind's Eye, which also follows the same rule as Guard Up and Mighty Bow
Me having 2 from the base game and 1 guard up: "Wait, there's a use for these?"
I'm not typically a superstitious person but I'm convinced from personal experience and reading maybe dozens of comments just like yours that the drop rates are higher for the rare decos that only apply to the weapons that players never use
Thank you for the video. I've been maining bow since the very beginning, having 500+ hours of playtime with PC and PS4 combined, and still I never got a Mighty Bow jewel. As a bow main. And it makes me sad xD
Yet here I am with so many to the point where I'm melding them.
I just finished the Great Jagras HR Quest and Yes, Mighty Bow Jewel drops on me in 1 try. :D
I have like 7 of this
