In fairness to the devs, this time around they finally decided to put all the information in the game for us with a nice spreadsheet style. It's the simplest it's ever been to know how to get parts.
That and the detailed, part-by-part weakness charts are such a game-changer, I finally feel like I can play around with elemental weapons, it never felt worth having to put down the game and grab another device to open Kiranico or whatever if I forgot what my target was weak to and where...
And now it's easy to find the most effective weapon for certain breaks (zin legs take more blunt, mizu has equal for all 3 types On front clasws but elemental shines for dmg there)
@@Chronostra it's more so that cap/kill adds chances for those drops aside from the part break Say you cap it with breaking the part, you only get the part break chance but, if you kill and break part you get one chance from the kill and one from the break, think of it like 2 dice rolls to get the drop rather than one.
Once you unlock all the subs and get a few good lvl 30+ pets to stick in them, you will feel better about it. I was starving for honey, thunderbugs and some other stuff before that but now I'm swimming in everything. Just give them the best negotiation tactic and you will start raking in a ton of stuff.
@@guardianpigeon2029 i got all three with 35 palmutes on it but man the fish for mega bombs and mights seeds. Pitfalls i can just buy the nets enmass with points but still the hoarder in me makes it hard to use traps and tranqs. 😂
For me it's the reverse, I just farmed a bunch as I was levelling. Not had to farm drops once since the drop rates are broken anyways, so I'm still getting 1-2 plates/gems per hunt
Only 2 problems: First, they went backwards & ditched the part where they show "breakable parts", second, the chances shown in the table are incorrect. If you add everything together you get over 100%. I can't remember which monster it was, but I added the shiny drop rates together & got 153%. By that logic the 1% for a gem is actually a 0,6%. Just as an examble.
@@Smexbi that's always how materials worked. There were always materials that had 50% 60% and 33% on the same Monster. It's just percentage for only the one material. Basically a 20% reward means in 1 out of 5 hunts you will probably get it once. The 50% reward you'll get once in two hunts and the 60% hunt has a high chance of appearing on the first hunt.
@@Smexbi You can see what parts can be broken in item details (the little list you get when you select an item). Look at all the items and under break rewards you can see which parts can be broken. It is a bit more round-a-bout but it saves you a trip to the wiki's. Additionally my hypothesis, and keep in mind it is just that, for the 100+% is that is because they factor in different shiny drop methods (so a natural roaming around drop can't be X or Y but a knock over shiny drop can be). The reason I think this is that under certain items when you look at the details of the item you see shiny drop listed twice with different percentages.
I remember the awkward times in the older games when we had to cap online, but the monster left the area so we had to wait for the trap the remove itself
Me playing world on pc with mods so i can see the monsters HP and status build up and part damage and when it is capturable without even having to see it limp
@@GetonthestiiX personally, I don’t think we need either. They limp. And also, once you’ve played for long enough you just know “when it’s time”. I know my usually quest clear time and I can kind of assume when a monster is ready.
Back in Monsters Hunter 4 3ds demo, almost all the french player use the insect glaive. Insect glaive has the highest mounting chance and the player (french) would automatic text scream out "Je suis monté!"
I remember how annoying Rathalos was to capture - watch him start limping, chase him to his next zone set a trap only for him to stand there for a minute and then fly away again lmao. No destroying traps back then either, had to wait ages for it to de-spawn. I got such good memories in MHF. Quality of lifes has come a long way.
The rathian and her trick of flying slowly to area 5 and suddenly switching to fly quickly to area 9 in forest hills was a nightmare to deal with because you couldn't predict it
@@varrikitsune114 no they gave you star ratings to show the level of rarity. You needed to go to an outside source if you wanted to know an exact percent. And considering some items have different percent rates for break/capture/carve, it's really nice to have actual values.
lol right? Been playing since Freedom Unite thinking "why don't these clowns listen!?" and now everyone captures even when they shouldn't. God damn it Capcom
Back in World, there was a sticker set I used to let any hunter I was with know "I'll sleep the monster" or "let's bomb the monster", or "let's trap it!" I think Capcom should bring those stickers back so everyone, regardless of language, knows the game plan for the hunt.
True. While there's a custom shoutout "Let's capture this thing", some people don't understand it. I had a hunt like that where I already told 'em to capture it, but they still killed it. I didn't have time to restock my traps then so I didn't have one in my inventory at the time.
Made me remember more often than not when I am putting a monster to sleep there's often that LS/DB players that can't stop their combos and just wasted wake up damage lol
If Capcom wants to address the idea in a QoL update, maybe they can add an option for the hunter posting the quest to request a capture, slay, or either.
Very smart idea also I need rewards for catering to new players wasting my progress time lol. In mhgu I had high rank mix set with WE,razor, and Atk L in HR 1 while everyone else had mix gear with no skills. Had to grind the hub just to get them decent armor to stop fainting.
Yes that would be a great idea. And it would have to be done in a way that it would be presented to the other members in the party to be obviously seen, And not easily ignored!
Thank you Gaijun Hunter. I appreciate all your help over the years. I have been watching since MH4U, and I cannot express how grateful I am that you explain all these things and helped make MH so big in the west.
@@tbaggins5349 I can assume you are around my age then! I was born in 2000 so I'm 21 now and yes I found him back in high school when I would bring my 3DS everywhere :)
I've been playing since the old old days and I gotta say idk how we made it to the third gen without him lol. The really helpful thing he does is spreading info like this.
FYI those 4 materials were just examples, there are a lot like them. Look at your hunter notes. Of course I'll also mention that there are some common items that you can get multiple of when capturing so it's not always about quantity, but variety. Also for the love of Gog realize that you can still get the materials as quest rewards and break rewards regardless so i am not saying that you can only get these items via carving. Just read the hunter notes and be informed, folks
Great info overall. One error I noticed was that you state that you only get 2 rewards for capturing a monster, which is not always the case. On many occasions I have gotten 3 or 4 rewards, so there's still room to understand what's really going on there. This might seem arbitrary, but are you a member of the Clicker Heroes community? "For the love of Gog" is a common saying there and it kind of caught me by surprise to find it in the wild...
Despite the problems it raises, I'm really happy they made the capture/slay rewards different this time. In World, it was always better to capture, which made slaying feel pointless/time wasting. Here, I really like being able to open my notes, find what I'm looking for, and plan accordingly for the hunt ahead.
Respectively, you disgust me. I'd rather play the game how it was meant to but to each their own. I just wish there was an online option to bar captures
@@Lexgamer Lml nah its players like you online. I'm not saying it's bad, maybe you play like that solo. But online that shits infuriating. You'll have a lobby of like 5 people going strong and one b hole gotta capture. Feels worse than a loss. Mfs kill the whole momentum
I check notes, and that is how I found out that ultimately the usual complaint involving capture vs slay is unfounded since in most cases if you don't get the part from capture, you still get a 80% just from breaking the part, and only like 10% from Actually carving it, and even then not from a slay but from a tail carve. I've captured *literally* everything and have not had a single issue getting the parts I need because I'm not just hitting it to reduce the HP. It's less "They are capturing everything" and more "I'm not telling them what to break"
Dude me and my brother figured this out and were trying to get Narga marrow and medullas and checked the notes. Literally 6 quests saying kill and saying do not cap and every quest people capped it. We hosted every time. Finally just duod two. Only had to kill two to get all the medullas and marrow needed.
@@sirgando3774 some of the parts can appear in the quest rewards as well, but it's safer to just go for the carves and have 3 additional chances for the parts you want
@@Silidirian I don't know if its my luck but i usually get the part i need from smacking the monster with another monster or capturing them, when i slay them my bad luck gets a bonus and i get just the standart drops.
People are often unaware and completely oblivious that this was also sort of the same in MHFU. Gold Rathian Spike+ are next to impossible to get from capturing as well as Blazing Inferno Sacs. Yet those two materials you get left and right as carves after killing it. There are several other monster parts that work the same.
Every game I've played, aside from World, had different drop tables for carve vs capture. World just got lazy and made the drop tables the same, I assume so people wouldn't have to fight over capture vs kill. At least now, the hunter notes actually has all that info built into it, so you don't need to go to a 3rd party website to look up drop rates anymore.
@@kedolan4992 I think people keep forgetting this probably isnt the big mainline MH game its more akin to the old ones people expect it to be MHW 2 but its more like MHXX World
I mean, considering that the Portable Team “””spinoff””” games play exactly like the mainline games, have just as much if not more content, and tend to refine the ideas of the Main Team and add in some of their own (item farms, Palicoes, and canteens were just some of the Portable Teams inventions), I don’t think it’s fair to consider them side games. There are reasons they always did better than the console games, were kinda the main meat and potatoes. The Main Team always makes the first game of a new generation, and while that’s not all they do, that’s where the MH 1, 2 , 3, etc. games come from :O
Yep. I could tell that my party forgot we were on a capture quest a few days ago. I had to spam 'get over here' as well as the beacon to get their attention
From what I remember, in World, everyone was telling people to always Capture because you get more rewards, and the drop table was not different. I think that’s a lot of what the western audience was conditioned on (I say western audience because I suspect a lot of folks in the west got introduced to MH with World-myself included, but it’s ofc not exclusive to western players). Thank you for making the PSA!
Also saves a ton of time in world. you can skip 30% of the monsters health, and 40 seconds of waiting for the quest to finish. After 100s of hunts you end up saving many, many hours while getting generally the same materials.
@@azadalamiq You get rewards from many different sources. You can get rewards for breaking parts, from the quest rewards, dropped shinies, your pets stealing them, and then either carving the monster or capturing. Sure, you can get the not-capture rewards from other sources, but if you only need that specific part to craft the item you're after, why not give yourself more chances at RNG? Why would you want quest/break RNG chances, when you could instead have quest/break/carve chances?
Actually i don't understand what gaijin said. Breaking parts rewards isn't affected by capturing/killing. Heck it even have it's own slots in reward screen. I have a bunch of magna blades/mizu claw by breaking their armblade/claws, and most of the time i capture monsters instead of killing (which gave me minimun 2 rewards and up to 6 outside quest rewards)
@@HeilRay I agree, but those examples gaijin used? You get worse chance carving rather than straight quest rewards or break parts rewards. Its faster and more reliable to break-cap to farm those examples rather than break-kill hoping to get more by carve. And break part rewards aren't effected by kill/cap too. If gaijin used narga medulla/marrow on the other hand, it's a different story.
Damn, and hear I was thinking that capturing was almost always the way to go as the drop % tended to be better for the stuff you usually need., didnt realize that you get one less drop. I did know that there is some carve only drops
I was also kinda surprised but if you check the magnamalo table, you see that you can get the tail also from capturing but not from a kill. More than killing vs carving, this video should be about checking you hunter's note or the wiki for the part you want. :)
Capture generally gives you better chances for rare materials (plates, gems, rubies and orbs) while carves usually give you more common materials. This applies to Rise as well.
That's only partially true. You get 2 capture rewards vs 3 carves. But you also get extra target rewards for capturing. So if the material you're after has a decent target rate, capturing may be better since you actually get 5 from capturing. It's just 2 capture and 3 extra target
Dammit man back in Gen my gf wanted his dual blades so much and we’ve done the hunt so many god damn times for those claws LOL Mizu claws are more rare than rath plates Lmao
Yet if you look at the Monster Hunter Rise wiki, it says... Capture x1 (22%) I'm more inclined to believe the video that it's not possible, considering I've farmed him quite a bit and haven't found a claw either because of the 100% trap rate online.
@@bradenbastian5932 That's the Mizutsune Claw+, the base claw can't be obtained as a capture reward, but still only has a 13% chance of being a carve, while it has an 80% chance of being a generic hunt reward per broken claw. This video is completely meaningless, do not kill everything, if you need a part that is a part break reward, break the part then capture the monster, you'll still get the part you need and you have a much higher chance of obtaining the extremely rare rewards (plates and gems), literally double or triple the chance. This is an extremely bad video and it's embarrassing to see a MH RUclipsr spreading misinformation like this.
@@getsinged7631 I completely agree man. Even in hunter info logs the information is displayed in details. Actually i don't understand what gaijin said. If it's an april fools joke, it understandable. But it is not. Breaking parts rewards isn't affected by capturing/killing. Heck it even have it's own slots in reward screen. I have a bunch of magna blades/mizu claw by breaking their armblade/claws, and most of the time i capture monsters instead of killing (which gave me minimun 2 rewards and up to 6 outside quest rewards)
True, unlike World you cannot get some items by capturing the monster I am glad they brought this back since in World, there was no reason not to capture since it was quicker
It would kind of make sense that you would receive more, since you're literally taking the the monster back with you. Perhaps World 2 or whatever the next mainline game is, could rework the capture system to make it more difficult to perform.
@@axelus2 Main difference is, you can carve 3x times (4 with Skills) and have a higher chance to get it since you roll 3-4 times. While in capture, you have only one roll to get it.
@@MasterJongXG well ,magnamalo plate was 1% on carve. even then when you try 4 times carve its still lower than 3% capture which have 2 chances (you get 2 material each capture).
I know I'm guilty of this. Every single past game you got WAY more mats from capturing the monster. One you had to watch for the limp or have the skill equipped to tell and I think they had the idea that holding back and watching for that ideal moment was a challenge to be rewarded rather then just going ham for those last few moments dealing as much damage as possible to kill it. Like the cut off was closer so you had to be more cautious and finesse the hunt to be able to capture.
Good to know from a new player perspective. It took me a while to discover the stat pages for monsters and I've only recently hit rank 5 quests for the village. From seeing streamed multiplayer, it looks a bit chaotic with everything going on so it seems easy to forget to check if the target is low and miss the opportunity to capture. I also felt like it was more about the difficulty in the trap positioning, requiring consumable resources, and getting the monster to fall for them in the first place. Looking back on it, plopping a trap in its face and dumping a quick two tranq bombs has gotten really easy. It makes me wonder how hard it was in previous entries. I was killing off the early tier of monsters and didn't know if it was more preferable to capture. I've even fumbled an opportunity once and had to employ both traps to bag a monster. I can't help but feel with as much of an entire wiki for the game being built in that they could have had capture quests at lower ranks. I'm seeing the very first cap quest at the rank 5 quests. They could have also had an entry in the Hunter Notes that would specifically point out that some materials could only be available from carving and capture...unless I missed it in the sea of notes.
The game told me you could only get certain items by capturing. I was later told by players the opposite is true. I have stopped capturing unless its a capture mission, but have started to run into everyone capturing too. I have made a quick text that says "Do not capture please!" I send out about halfway through and again when it turns blue
The first two sentences you are saying are not contradictory. There are certain items you can only get by capturing AND there are certain items you can only get by killing. Just look up the parts you need to see which way is best.
@@AaaaNinja oh! Thanks, and you are right I don't look. The hunter notes pages confuse me. Besides putting the monsters photos in there I don't look at it
Just check your rewards tables, and a lot is from breaking parts which you can still get with captures as long as you break the parts. So unless you are farming specific parts its realy not a big deal.
@@drowningin 1)you should, it tells you where the weak spots are (45 if i remember) and other useful information 2) it's pretty easy to learn, i mean i was able to and i have a problem with learning.
I did. In gen / gen u as long as the monster sleeps after limping, its time to capture. I usually have plenty of traps laying around since i farm elders most of the time though. To be fair it doesn’t really makes any difference in gen / gen u because you’ll slay it about 20 secs later anyway. But in world, it really is makes any difference. Because after he slept & limping usually the monster became much more vicious and had nothing to lose. So capturing helps in this case.
I feel ya or they just become monster punching bags. I don't know hom many end game missions I have failed because people just don't want to avoid attacks and use their wirebugs relentlessly to only look cool. Both cases suuuck big time!
@@crisscore157 Its not always 2 though and you even get odds at parts if you didn't break them. But plates are best for carves by standard. But some things like magna horn or rajang tail can't be carved. It will vary from monster to monster on whats best
This video needs to be retitled at the very least. There are STILL people using this vid as an excuse to actively pick fights online with anyone who captures.
Interesting, I dont remember there being unique mats only get from slaying instead of capturing even from earlier titles. I only remember capturing usuly gives higher % to get the item
in older games you would have different rate for capture and carve, but it didnt mean capturing was always best, some had higher drop rate as carves :P
My friends who are new to the series have made fun of me for not trapping EVERY single monster and I am so happy that Gajin is back at it again with more tips and tricks to set things right
@@thunderborn3231 Well capturing is faster and also have increased chances for certain rare rewards so it evens out depending on what you’re looking for
@@sratrunks oh yeah because 1% reward chance is so high right? its better to carve for those parts period; that said if you need the carve specifically you should be soloing it
@@thunderborn3231 You can get them as lucky drops during the fight or broken part rewards so breaking parts can be useful while also granting access to non capture materials that you’ll need. The one time I didn’t trap I got what I needed as a lucky drop breaking it’s head a second time which I then killed it pretty shortly afterwards. (Zinogre.) So at least don’t capture right away and wait a bit to shatter every part of it.
I always check the specific part I need before the hunt just in case, but I’ve definitely noticed waaay more people capturing so far. Thanks for this PSA it’s definitely helpful for newcomers to the series or people that started with World.
Considering Rise tells you about every part drop, rate and how to get it in the hunter notes, it's more people who dont read. If we're talking spoiled then how does dealing hundreds of damage to a monster before ever using your weapon against it sound, at the low cost of a few wirebugs?
@@CanasTheKiller Are you referring to the new riding mechanic? I mean compared to X and XX I prefer it honestly. Its slightly harder to do than spamming aerial style with the dual blades and locking the monster down infinitly with riding.
Wirebug mount fighting is so wildly strong and exploitable that I feel like they forgot to playtest it or forgot the monsters don't have a ton of health. I'm also not against having a couple of bugs absolutely dominate every monster on the map while I absentmindedly press B and A, it's entertaining as hell, but Rise spoils the hell out of the hunter.
Marrow? You can farm that easily in the solo village Low Rank quest. The Medulla is the hard one to get when everyone captures Narga in the High Rank hub...
committing mass genocide is fun dw, ive been playing MH since 07 and still just do mass genocide except rathalos for those damn gems (50hunts 40caps 10kills) exactly Zero Rath gems
If you have played MHW, you would probably have came across a fair amount of failed missions because everyone was too excited going berserk hacking away at the monster and forgotten to pay attention to the monster's health when the mission objective was to capture not to slay lol
I can already see it. “Gaijin Hunter said to not capture things.” Edit: Found a forum thread talking about it : gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/300976-monster-hunter-rise/79391492?page=1 No hate Gaijin
@@TheXtremeSS right but you think people are gonna catch that whole thing? Most are gonna hear don't capture and walk away before the rest of the sentence is done
@@TheXtremeSS to clarify. Yes he did. He gave a full and detailed explanation of what to do and why. (I mean he didn’t list every part and it’s cap vs slay percentages, but yikes no one has that kind of time) He gave a perfect explanation, and what people should do is check the hunter notes and cap or slay based on what they are looking for. Sadly, people are blockheads prone to weird dogmatic adherence to one sentence rules, and the OP is right; if you spend large amounts of time playing online with randoms you will see” gaijin hunter said not to cap” at least a few times
Contrary to what Gaijin said, you can get 2-3 parts from capturing. It's not always 2. I just did an Almudron and Mizutsune quest, captured both, and got 3 for Almudron and 2 for Mizu. If I as an host, random's, not using the old school lobby system where people could calmly talk and decide how to approach the quest.. do you expect people to do as I say? It's more likely for people to not even see the messages. It's just easier to do alone or with a group of friends. At least we don't fail capture quests as easily like before. xD Edit: BTW, contrary to what he also said in the end, for HR Magnamalo you can get plates from captures. In one quest I got one from target rewards and from the captures. Thank goodness because I needed one for the weapon and the other for the attack gem
I realized that carving had higher rates for certain materials. But I had no idea how to communicate "slay the monster" to the japanese players. Thanks for the PSA!
It’s probably a bit difficult to change your console language and stuff so you can put in a custom callout in actual Japanese script, but maybe if you at least put it in romaji, it’ll get the message across. Something like: Monster o korosu
I have an idea what if capcom gave us a feature for every quest that would let the host choose between the quest being a hunt vs a capture quest that would make things way easier (excluding elders and small monster hunts of course) (I really would love to hear your thoughts on this @Gajin Hunter)
My bloodlust is insatiable, so I always kill every monster unless I don't have the time to do so, or its Pukie-Pukei. I love that bird boi. It's just so cute!
dude full of bs,, as i got these in captures, trick is to break the monster parts prior. there is gonna be rng regardless.. but i never had issues farming monsters monster parts.
@@azadalamiq You missed the point of the video: some parts CAN'T come from capture rewards. You can still get the break rewards regardless of if you capture or kill, so no point in listing those. But if you need a specific part, and it can't drop from a capture, why would you capture the monster?
@@azadalamiq The rewards screen will always tell you how you earned a material and capture is among the reward tables. From that, you will know when you got a material from a part break and that has nothing to do with the decision to capture or kill. Fact is, some materials simply cannot be earned from the act of capturing a monster but can be carved. So even though breaks can make your odds of getting a specific material greater than zero, you may still have a BETTER chance if you kill and carve it.
@@azadalamiq I'm not saying it's impossible to get certain parts if you capture, I'm saying the rewards you get FROM THE CAPTURE can't be some parts (and likewise, some parts can't be carved). Next time you go on a hunt, pay close attention to all the drops in the after-hunt loot screen: it tells you where they all came from. The first two lines will be the quest rewards, usually a line full of monster parts, and then the second line full of generic "stuff" like ore/bones/armor spheres, etc. The next section will either be the break or capture section, I don't remember the order on these. It'll list each break that gave you a part (broke monsters horn, got this item, broke claw, got this item, etc). The next section will be the other one, like for the capture: this section is the ONLY part that would be changed from doing a capture vs killing, everything else will be exactly the same, aside from the RNG of course. After that will be the stuff your buddies gathered/looted. If you killed the monster, the capture section simply won't be there, since you already got your rewards from carving the monster.
Thank you for this, I’ve seen people online farming for mizu claws and capturing every time, who knows how much time they’ve wasted just by making that one mistake
@@aleronhawk It still is the case. You can't get that particular drop in the capture reward section of the quest end screen, is what it means, but you will still be able to get the part if it is in a part break drop table, and you, well, break that part, since they are different sections of rewards.
This is one of the things nobody in the community told me way back when I first started Glad to see you doing it for the newer players so they won’t go through what me and others have 👍🏾🥳
When i was a kid playing mhfu..my friend said monster can be captured...i myself not an english speakers and as a kid i only recognise the usage of word capture in game like pokemon...so i thought you actually catch the monsters and bring them to fight... Trang bomb being red (pokeball is red) had convinced me even more.
Yeah that was me until I saw people bringing this up on reddit. I started with MH World where it's 100% preferred to capture, and thought it'd be the same in MH Rise because the capture tutorial tells you there are some rewards you can only get by capturing.
Yeah but if you dive into the lurer, Of the game caption them is actually more cruel. When you capture him, The Guild takes them and, Keeps them locked up and Experiment on them to learn about them. And Then eventually kills them to dissect them. So if you think about it killing then is Actually more humane.
@@chrislewerercalcapone9385 That’s not true at all. The Wyverian in World tells you the captured monsters are studied and then released away from the main base.
@@juliusweiss5447 oh, the same wyverians who have information on how a monster has a sac that allows it to produce flame/water/poison/Lightning or simply fly? Yeah I wonder how they got that info without dissecting.
@@axelbouvet5316 ...except when you realize that they’d only have a few days, if not hours, to send a full team to a dangerous wild area in order to harvest the organs and body parts before the corpse completely decays or gets eaten by other wild monsters.

Don't ask. Just do it. Public lobby, public rules and you are more likely to have some scrub tri cart. You're really better off solo hunting, but if I want to capture something, I dare anyone to be good enough to stop me.
I will admit, I have been that guy that just captures the monster, not realizing rewards are lessened. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and I will ensure that I will wait for the host's call on capturing or killing monsters.
Yes I agree. But the misinformation gaijin spread is that those example he gave in the video have higher chance for being break parts rewards (80%) and it isn't affected with killing/capturing. If he gave narga medulla/marrow for an example on the other hand, it would be a different story
@@Chronostra Kind reminder that there are chances listed for carves, which are very much affected by killing or capturing as you cannot carve captured monsters.
Yes indeed, but some parts are still required for a lot of sets/weapons and they are less likely to come as a reward when you capture, this is the main issue
LThe key thing is communication. If you not playing by your self, be Courteous to others! Not everyone wants to capture all the time! Seeing that there is a way to communicate to capture (A translated preset message) And not a way to communicate to kill it! The default should be to kill it, Unless before the hunt you communicate to capture it
I think the main issue is lacking communication, and a universally translated message for either "lets kill" or "lets cap" would help in this regard. If I had to guess, people cap to end quests quicker usually. I started in Tri and I remember having much better results capturing as opposed to killing when trying to get the gem/rarest item etc.( I believe these rare items were not able to be carved in most cases). Also, back then traps and tranqs were not as easily come by they are now so it was a serious expenditure that equated directly to resource building and therefore time (I am *not* asking for this back). I also remember the change allowing for one to carve those same items off the monster. Ever since this change I have advocated for "eh kill it". Each carve has the same static 1-3% chance. To my knowledge there weren't items that only capturing would produce if parts are broken, correct me if I am wrong. I rarely suggest capping except for those times where capping reduced the pool of other items along with increasing the chance of the rare item. In short: my advice at current is "eh break the part and kill, cause you carve rare item and break rewards work well enough" That said if we join a quest we should try to communicate before deciding how the quest ends for all players since it can have impact.
Me with my friends always 90% go for capture because we all want to rush to HR 7 and never think about the missing loot. I'm glad you talk about this. Will gonna recheck hunter's notes before deciding to capture or not
I always thought that capturing monsters was just superior, unless there was something you need to get for killing them... I mean, you’re spending resources to build traps and tranquilizers, being observant during the hunt of when it’s ready to be captured, tracking them down or luring them into your traps, all while exercising restraint so you don’t accidentally slay it. It sounds so strange to hear someone say that trapping monsters is the easy way out, and so should give you fewer rewards.
Well yeah it is the easy wait out, noobs catch vets kill, don’t want to sound rude but capturing is laughably easy, signs of death have never been easier to see in monster hunter, it shows a blue icon on the monsters art in the right hand corner and it’s not hard to guide into traps either
@@robertgray3710 It is not the easy way out when you can only put one trap at a time regardless if your one player or Four. Or when you had to gather the materials for pit or shock traps. Rise now make it easy to infinitely purchase these traps so it makes sense to lower the rewards for capture. Vet Players should notice the change when this happens, Noobs does not.
I blame the capture tutorial, because they don't mention anything about drops being different and they actually encourage you to capture the monsters since it will be faster than slaying them
I mostly capture when I am running multiplayer and two people have already carted. Better to just end it and get some rewards than risk another death and no rewards.
I went straight to the other spoilers dragon since you can just hunt it outright, and I have to say, the skill that both armors come with is not worth the effort. They're garbage sets tbh. But at least it's cool looking garbage.
@@RoboRobotnik the arms of the 2nd spoiler dragon actually have some Partbreaker. Pair it with the jelly waist, and the rest of the pieces being medium and you actually have a decent set for farming spoiler dragon 2 for the materials to use in Melding.
What I've found helpful is put Do Not Capture in caps with the large X sticker. Image with the word capture helps language barrier a bit more than just saying it in chat.
It really depends, you just need to check the notes. Mizu fins for example only drop as a part break. If you don't break it, capture or kill, you won't see it (except as a possible 1st clear reward, which obviously only happens once). There's just more variables than there were in World.
Put trap and trank bombs in your invictory , go on hunt .. when you see the monster is limping to get away or on the map there's a blue thing on it, you go you your items an place a trap down and when it's in the trap throw 2 trank bombs
you do know that if you brake a monsters part fully that even on a capture that you can still get that monsters part from that monsters section right? because i have more Magnamalo blades then i know what to do with and my hunting log sits at 20(19) and my blades are at 55(at the time of righting this).
@@ShinnyMetal there is a section in at the end of the quest that gives rewards based on broken parts that can give you rewards for what you have full busted that is not affected buy capture/carve "lock" as long as the part is fully busted you can get a part form its loot list (like Magna blades from its front claws for example)
@@ShinnyMetal IF this is something you need to do then do it then sure, but the way he was saying it was that if you capture it you CAN'T get a blade not that its not the best way to get one which is what i was pointing out was wrong (that you can get one on a cap if the proper criteria is met) where he was saying that you cant get one no matter what you do.(witch is what is wrong)
I'm an on/off MH player, and World conditioned me to just capture everything. Now i know to do my research a bit better. Thanks for the info. It's probably a ton of work but would love it if someone made a capture/carve guide listing what monsters to capture and which to kill, or maybe even what materials you get for either. I should probably just take more time to read the Hunter notes tho. Great video as always.
The part about only getting two rewards for capturing is just wrong. I regularly get three capture rewards, tested it again just now with a low rank kulu and got three.
I don't know if you covered it in your video but every item mentioned can still be received as a broken part reward. So you can actually capture everything and still receive these items. Whether efficient or not depends on the person. But I have personally tested it and can assure all of you reading this comment they can be obtained as long as the correct part is broken.
Thank you for mentioning this, I love gaijin but through not addressing this in the video he makes capturing look much worse than it is. If you want a specific part you have the best odds from breaking that part, and carving rewards give you a tiny extra chance of getting them, while capturing doesnt. Theres no part you "can't" get just because you captured, though!
Thank you. I really hope word gets around about this. I usually only hunt with randos when I'm bored and just want to help out, but I still find it ridiculously boring that every hunt just defaults to a capture. I've definitely been robbed of drops in previous games due to people insisting on "capturing is better" too. It's completely understandable if the hunt is getting ugly, or if someone needs that certain rare drop, but I get the feeling most just do it because it's faster and easier. It's like a forced speedrun strat or something. People just need to be better about the context of the hunt.
Used to be the case even in gen / gen u. To be fair, sometimes trying to slay the monster instead makes it more of a hassle since now they’re a lot more vicious when near death.
I see it like this, if there is only a 1% chance to get from carves and you get a higher chance by breaking them, I rather break the part and then capture. Also, if you are farming. Don’t do it with 3 or 4 people, resistances goes through the roof. That’s one problem I had in Iceborne.
In fairness to the devs, this time around they finally decided to put all the information in the game for us with a nice spreadsheet style. It's the simplest it's ever been to know how to get parts.
That and the detailed, part-by-part weakness charts are such a game-changer, I finally feel like I can play around with elemental weapons, it never felt worth having to put down the game and grab another device to open Kiranico or whatever if I forgot what my target was weak to and where...
yes it's so nice that i don't have to constantly google random monster parts to see the best way to get them
And now it's easy to find the most effective weapon for certain breaks (zin legs take more blunt, mizu has equal for all 3 types On front clasws but elemental shines for dmg there)
@@Chronostra it's more so that cap/kill adds chances for those drops aside from the part break
Say you cap it with breaking the part, you only get the part break chance but, if you kill and break part you get one chance from the kill and one from the break, think of it like 2 dice rolls to get the drop rather than one.
@@Chronostra yeah it's better with friends, i only did quests with randos for completion but all my farming was with friends
And here i am killing everything because im being stingy with my traps.
You ain't the only one bro.....
Once you unlock all the subs and get a few good lvl 30+ pets to stick in them, you will feel better about it.

Damn right, kill em all
For me it's the reverse, I just farmed a bunch as I was levelling.
Not had to farm drops once since the drop rates are broken anyways, so I'm still getting 1-2 plates/gems per hunt
The Hunter's Note has gotten so far I'm proud
i know right? nobody seems to be talking about the fact that the notes just GIVE YOU the hit zone values
Only 2 problems:
First, they went backwards & ditched the part where they show "breakable parts",
second, the chances shown in the table are incorrect.
If you add everything together you get over 100%.
I can't remember which monster it was, but I added the shiny drop rates together & got 153%. By that logic the 1% for a gem is actually a 0,6%. Just as an examble.
@@Smexbi that's always how materials worked. There were always materials that had 50% 60% and 33% on the same Monster. It's just percentage for only the one material. Basically a 20% reward means in 1 out of 5 hunts you will probably get it once. The 50% reward you'll get once in two hunts and the 60% hunt has a high chance of appearing on the first hunt.
@@Smexbi You can see what parts can be broken in item details (the little list you get when you select an item). Look at all the items and under break rewards you can see which parts can be broken. It is a bit more round-a-bout but it saves you a trip to the wiki's.
Additionally my hypothesis, and keep in mind it is just that, for the 100+% is that is because they factor in different shiny drop methods (so a natural roaming around drop can't be X or Y but a knock over shiny drop can be). The reason I think this is that under certain items when you look at the details of the item you see shiny drop listed twice with different percentages.
Never thought I'd see the day where the game itself would display hit zone values. Kiranico is now almost completely obsolete.
I remember the awkward times in the older games when we had to cap online, but the monster left the area so we had to wait for the trap the remove itself
Terrible times.
Um you could walk up to the trap and destroy it
@@dwinters6291 that was added in later installments, you couldn't always do this.
Hahaha, happened to me on 3 Ultimate yesterday!
Omg it was the worst. I'd see 3 other players just waiting around. Not letting the monster sleep but also not trying to kill it with to many attacks.
Back in my day, we had a skill for telling you when the monster was able to be captured. How far we’ve come in quality of life.
I know right. Sometimes I think we've gotten bloated with conveniences and I miss the torture or early games
Capture Guru. Those are some good memories indeed.
@@GetonthestiiX now you understand hazing! Quality of life is good!
Me playing world on pc with mods so i can see the monsters HP and status build up and part damage and when it is capturable without even having to see it limp
@@GetonthestiiX personally, I don’t think we need either. They limp. And also, once you’ve played for long enough you just know “when it’s time”. I know my usually quest clear time and I can kind of assume when a monster is ready.

Nothing will ever reach the heights of the legendary French hunters battle cry
Man I miss my French hunting buddies
Can someone explain this to me ? I'm french and I'm curious about this now xD
Back in Monsters Hunter 4 3ds demo, almost all the french player use the insect glaive. Insect glaive has the highest mounting chance and the player (french) would automatic text scream out "Je suis monté!"
That's my trap setting shoutout
Remember that time when capturing a monster was 10 times more difficult than killing it?
I remember how annoying Rathalos was to capture - watch him start limping, chase him to his next zone set a trap only for him to stand there for a minute and then fly away again lmao. No destroying traps back then either, had to wait ages for it to de-spawn. I got such good memories in MHF. Quality of lifes has come a long way.
Yes dude, remember deviant quests in gen
I know, it was what made it so satisfying to capture them, it was a pain in the ass.
The rathian and her trick of flying slowly to area 5 and suddenly switching to fly quickly to area 9 in forest hills was a nightmare to deal with because you couldn't predict it
(You accidentally killed the monster)
I hate this
This time they even gave us the odds for each part in the hunternotes.
It's awesome
That's super awesome, now I don't need to pull up a wiki page to look up drop rates to figure out how to best get parts now.
Didn't they tell you the same thing in the hunter notes in world?
@@varrikitsune114 they didnt give you percents in world, iirc. It just wasnt this detailed.
@@varrikitsune114 no they gave you star ratings to show the level of rarity. You needed to go to an outside source if you wanted to know an exact percent. And considering some items have different percent rates for break/capture/carve, it's really nice to have actual values.
What a time in monster hunter where the average online players are too good at capturing. The irony
Or too bad to realize not to capture
lol right? Been playing since Freedom Unite thinking "why don't these clowns listen!?" and now everyone captures even when they shouldn't. God damn it Capcom
Capturing isn't hard that's why it's so common
Bro being bill Cosby doesn't take skill
When I see the blue capture icon, all I think is "Woo, almost dead, time to go HAM"
Lol same. EVERYONE FOCUS ON THE TAIL!!!
No no no no no, the real meaning of the blue icon is(in high rank+) "Oh sh*t he's gonna go HAM!!!"
This is why I solo hunt.
Blue mean last round. SMASH IT DEAD
Same
Back in World, there was a sticker set I used to let any hunter I was with know "I'll sleep the monster" or "let's bomb the monster", or "let's trap it!" I think Capcom should bring those stickers back so everyone, regardless of language, knows the game plan for the hunt.
True. While there's a custom shoutout "Let's capture this thing", some people don't understand it. I had a hunt like that where I already told 'em to capture it, but they still killed it. I didn't have time to restock my traps then so I didn't have one in my inventory at the time.
Made me remember more often than not when I am putting a monster to sleep there's often that LS/DB players that can't stop their combos and just wasted wake up damage lol
Yes please, more stickers are always welcome, they're great ways to send a message that doesn't need to be translated.
@@Tea-Spin that's why I use the stickers immediately when the sleep ailment triggers. I miss those.
@@yvreux Sleepy jagras best sticker
If Capcom wants to address the idea in a QoL update, maybe they can add an option for the hunter posting the quest to request a capture, slay, or either.
Yeah, set it as a lobby condition. That'd be nice.
If only the devs would take some of this input in these comments
Very smart idea also I need rewards for catering to new players wasting my progress time lol. In mhgu I had high rank mix set with WE,razor, and Atk L in HR 1 while everyone else had mix gear with no skills. Had to grind the hub just to get them decent armor to stop fainting.

Yes that would be a great idea. And it would have to be done in a way that it would be presented to the other members in the party to be obviously seen, And not easily ignored!

FYI those 4 materials were just examples, there are a lot like them. Look at your hunter notes. Of course I'll also mention that there are some common items that you can get multiple of when capturing so it's not always about quantity, but variety. Also for the love of Gog realize that you can still get the materials as quest rewards and break rewards regardless so i am not saying that you can only get these items via carving. Just read the hunter notes and be informed, folks
Great info overall. One error I noticed was that you state that you only get 2 rewards for capturing a monster, which is not always the case. On many occasions I have gotten 3 or 4 rewards, so there's still room to understand what's really going on there.
This might seem arbitrary, but are you a member of the Clicker Heroes community? "For the love of Gog" is a common saying there and it kind of caught me by surprise to find it in the wild...
Despite the problems it raises, I'm really happy they made the capture/slay rewards different this time. In World, it was always better to capture, which made slaying feel pointless/time wasting. Here, I really like being able to open my notes, find what I'm looking for, and plan accordingly for the hunt ahead.
Respectively, you disgust me. I'd rather play the game how it was meant to but to each their own. I just wish there was an online option to bar captures

@@rajivpaul9122 Then you entirely miss understand. When online, I let the host decide capture or slay.
bruh you can literally see who among here checks the notes and who isn't.
I check notes, and that is how I found out that ultimately the usual complaint involving capture vs slay is unfounded since in most cases if you don't get the part from capture, you still get a 80% just from breaking the part, and only like 10% from Actually carving it, and even then not from a slay but from a tail carve.
I've captured *literally* everything and have not had a single issue getting the parts I need because I'm not just hitting it to reduce the HP.
It's less "They are capturing everything" and more "I'm not telling them what to break"
@@ShadowNinjaMaster93 if you're reading good for you. just no more essays.
Dude me and my brother figured this out and were trying to get Narga marrow and medullas and checked the notes. Literally 6 quests saying kill and saying do not cap and every quest people capped it. We hosted every time. Finally just duod two. Only had to kill two to get all the medullas and marrow needed.

@@sirgando3774 some of the parts can appear in the quest rewards as well, but it's safer to just go for the carves and have 3 additional chances for the parts you want
@@Silidirian I don't know if its my luck but i usually get the part i need from smacking the monster with another monster or capturing them, when i slay them my bad luck gets a bonus and i get just the standart drops.
People are often unaware and completely oblivious that this was also sort of the same in MHFU. Gold Rathian Spike+ are next to impossible to get from capturing as well as Blazing Inferno Sacs. Yet those two materials you get left and right as carves after killing it. There are several other monster parts that work the same.
Lol and here I was thinking half the player base spent as much time on kiranico as they did playing the game lol
Every game I've played, aside from World, had different drop tables for carve vs capture. World just got lazy and made the drop tables the same, I assume so people wouldn't have to fight over capture vs kill.
At least now, the hunter notes actually has all that info built into it, so you don't need to go to a 3rd party website to look up drop rates anymore.
@@kedolan4992 I think people keep forgetting this probably isnt the big mainline MH game its more akin to the old ones people expect it to be MHW 2 but its more like MHXX World
I mean, considering that the Portable Team “””spinoff””” games play exactly like the mainline games, have just as much if not more content, and tend to refine the ideas of the Main Team and add in some of their own (item farms, Palicoes, and canteens were just some of the Portable Teams inventions), I don’t think it’s fair to consider them side games. There are reasons they always did better than the console games, were kinda the main meat and potatoes.

The stalker pfp is affecting your hunting
@@azure4622 yup that must be it
From what I remember, in World, everyone was telling people to always Capture because you get more rewards, and the drop table was not different. I think that’s a lot of what the western audience was conditioned on (I say western audience because I suspect a lot of folks in the west got introduced to MH with World-myself included, but it’s ofc not exclusive to western players). Thank you for making the PSA!
Also saves a ton of time in world. you can skip 30% of the monsters health, and 40 seconds of waiting for the quest to finish. After 100s of hunts you end up saving many, many hours while getting generally the same materials.
Fuck dude I hate capturing the game is called monster hunter not monster capture lol
funny as i've gotten these rewards from capturing so.. ya sure. I break the monster up prior to catching.
@@azadalamiq You get rewards from many different sources. You can get rewards for breaking parts, from the quest rewards, dropped shinies, your pets stealing them, and then either carving the monster or capturing. Sure, you can get the not-capture rewards from other sources, but if you only need that specific part to craft the item you're after, why not give yourself more chances at RNG? Why would you want quest/break RNG chances, when you could instead have quest/break/carve chances?
@@kedolan4992 If you need a specific part though why not solo it? As far as I know there are no high rank carve only drops. Though I could be wrong.

Actually i don't understand what gaijin said. Breaking parts rewards isn't affected by capturing/killing. Heck it even have it's own slots in reward screen.
I have a bunch of magna blades/mizu claw by breaking their armblade/claws, and most of the time i capture monsters instead of killing (which gave me minimun 2 rewards and up to 6 outside quest rewards)
@@Chronostra
Thinking carving grants an extra percentage chance at getting some harder to get material that capture doesn't.
@@HeilRay I agree, but those examples gaijin used? You get worse chance carving rather than straight quest rewards or break parts rewards. Its faster and more reliable to break-cap to farm those examples rather than break-kill hoping to get more by carve.
And break part rewards aren't effected by kill/cap too.
If gaijin used narga medulla/marrow on the other hand, it's a different story.
I mainly capture when people are dying and we have no faints left. I’ve had people get upset but I’d rather get the win.
Same situation I’m dealing with.
yea lots of it on magnamalo tho
Damn, and hear I was thinking that capturing was almost always the way to go as the drop % tended to be better for the stuff you usually need., didnt realize that you get one less drop. I did know that there is some carve only drops
I was also kinda surprised but if you check the magnamalo table, you see that you can get the tail also from capturing but not from a kill. More than killing vs carving, this video should be about checking you hunter's note or the wiki for the part you want. :)
Capture generally gives you better chances for rare materials (plates, gems, rubies and orbs) while carves usually give you more common materials.
This applies to Rise as well.
That's only partially true. You get 2 capture rewards vs 3 carves. But you also get extra target rewards for capturing. So if the material you're after has a decent target rate, capturing may be better since you actually get 5 from capturing. It's just 2 capture and 3 extra target
That’s why I play solo whenever I’m looking for specific parts
The first few seconds literally answered all my questions about why I can never find a goddamn Mizutsune claw.
The answer is almost always: Not enough Thunder damage.
Miz claws require a concentrated effort with high-element Thunder weapons to break, generally.
Dammit man back in Gen my gf wanted his dual blades so much and we’ve done the hunt so many god damn times for those claws LOL
Mizu claws are more rare than rath plates Lmao
Yet if you look at the Monster Hunter Rise wiki, it says...
Capture x1 (22%)
I'm more inclined to believe the video that it's not possible, considering I've farmed him quite a bit and haven't found a claw either because of the 100% trap rate online.
@@bradenbastian5932 That's the Mizutsune Claw+, the base claw can't be obtained as a capture reward, but still only has a 13% chance of being a carve, while it has an 80% chance of being a generic hunt reward per broken claw. This video is completely meaningless, do not kill everything, if you need a part that is a part break reward, break the part then capture the monster, you'll still get the part you need and you have a much higher chance of obtaining the extremely rare rewards (plates and gems), literally double or triple the chance. This is an extremely bad video and it's embarrassing to see a MH RUclipsr spreading misinformation like this.

True, unlike World you cannot get some items by capturing the monster
I am glad they brought this back since in World, there was no reason not to capture since it was quicker
world really was the odd one in the series imo
@@holycowwrath it honestly was 😂
It would kind of make sense that you would receive more, since you're literally taking the the monster back with you. Perhaps World 2 or whatever the next mainline game is, could rework the capture system to make it more difficult to perform.
Tbh , capturing yield more was there ever since the first title .
For example, you would have to break all limbs that allow for movement to even begin the capture process.

@@axelus2 no dude I own 15 plates and I have beaten Mag a total of 53 times trying to get ONE. DAMN. ORB.
I know I'm guilty of this. Every single past game you got WAY more mats from capturing the monster. One you had to watch for the limp or have the skill equipped to tell and I think they had the idea that holding back and watching for that ideal moment was a challenge to be rewarded rather then just going ham for those last few moments dealing as much damage as possible to kill it. Like the cut off was closer so you had to be more cautious and finesse the hunt to be able to capture.
Good to know from a new player perspective. It took me a while to discover the stat pages for monsters and I've only recently hit rank 5 quests for the village. From seeing streamed multiplayer, it looks a bit chaotic with everything going on so it seems easy to forget to check if the target is low and miss the opportunity to capture.
I also felt like it was more about the difficulty in the trap positioning, requiring consumable resources, and getting the monster to fall for them in the first place. Looking back on it, plopping a trap in its face and dumping a quick two tranq bombs has gotten really easy. It makes me wonder how hard it was in previous entries. I was killing off the early tier of monsters and didn't know if it was more preferable to capture. I've even fumbled an opportunity once and had to employ both traps to bag a monster.
I can't help but feel with as much of an entire wiki for the game being built in that they could have had capture quests at lower ranks. I'm seeing the very first cap quest at the rank 5 quests. They could have also had an entry in the Hunter Notes that would specifically point out that some materials could only be available from carving and capture...unless I missed it in the sea of notes.
The game told me you could only get certain items by capturing. I was later told by players the opposite is true. I have stopped capturing unless its a capture mission, but have started to run into everyone capturing too. I have made a quick text that says "Do not capture please!" I send out about halfway through and again when it turns blue
The first two sentences you are saying are not contradictory. There are certain items you can only get by capturing AND there are certain items you can only get by killing. Just look up the parts you need to see which way is best.
@@AaaaNinja oh! Thanks, and you are right I don't look. The hunter notes pages confuse me. Besides putting the monsters photos in there I don't look at it
When in doubt, get hunters notes out
Just check your rewards tables, and a lot is from breaking parts which you can still get with captures as long as you break the parts. So unless you are farming specific parts its realy not a big deal.
@@drowningin 1)you should, it tells you where the weak spots are (45 if i remember) and other useful information
2) it's pretty easy to learn, i mean i was able to and i have a problem with learning.
TIL, I started on generations and i didn't even know about the rule of "slay unless host wants to capture": lol
Well yeah because who was going to capture over slaying when capturing took 10x the effort it did for slaying
I did. In gen / gen u as long as the monster sleeps after limping, its time to capture. I usually have plenty of traps laying around since i farm elders most of the time though. To be fair it doesn’t really makes any difference in gen / gen u because you’ll slay it about 20 secs later anyway. But in world, it really is makes any difference. Because after he slept & limping usually the monster became much more vicious and had nothing to lose. So capturing helps in this case.
@@aleronhawk you captured monsters in GU when you didn’t need too?
I main beast prowler so it's easier to just capture monsters because you have infinite traps and infinite tranq bombs.
@@baconboi4482 need or not, its more like want to or not. I'm usually too lazy to prolong the fight so trap & a bit of tranq wont hurt.
i cant hunt monsters online because the speed demons just NEEEED to save that 45 seconds and cap everything
I feel ya or they just become monster punching bags. I don't know hom many end game missions I have failed because people just don't want to avoid attacks and use their wirebugs relentlessly to only look cool. Both cases suuuck big time!
You can still get everything even with capturing. Breaking and target rewards still have chances for the drops you want
@@HibachiMan 3 rewards > 2 rewards, if you dont need the plate or something
@@gwagner1380 then just play solo and capture anyway when you know you don't need the item. Hunts end in 4-6min on average anyway so capture away.
@@crisscore157 Its not always 2 though and you even get odds at parts if you didn't break them.
But plates are best for carves by standard. But some things like magna horn or rajang tail can't be carved.
It will vary from monster to monster on whats best
This sparked a "civil war" in one group I'm in. It's ridiculous.
@@Paulo-ro3ws don’t forget those who religiously disagree with this youtuber
This video needs to be retitled at the very least. There are STILL people using this vid as an excuse to actively pick fights online with anyone who captures.
I LOVE how it includes all drops rates in-game now. Makes this the best monster hunter so far, by default.
Interesting, I dont remember there being unique mats only get from slaying instead of capturing even from earlier titles. I only remember capturing usuly gives higher % to get the item
in older games you would have different rate for capture and carve, but it didnt mean capturing was always best, some had higher drop rate as carves :P
[Smacks my desk with extreme force]
THANK YOU.
My friends who are new to the series have made fun of me for not trapping EVERY single monster and I am so happy that Gajin is back at it again with more tips and tricks to set things right
please rub in their face that not only are some parts not from capture, but that they literally get LESS rewards for doing capture only
@@thunderborn3231 Well capturing is faster and also have increased chances for certain rare rewards so it evens out depending on what you’re looking for
@@thunderborn3231 most of the non capture rewards are still very high chance target rewards you even when you capture
@@sratrunks oh yeah because 1% reward chance is so high right? its better to carve for those parts period; that said if you need the carve specifically you should be soloing it
@@thunderborn3231 You can get them as lucky drops during the fight or broken part rewards so breaking parts can be useful while also granting access to non capture materials that you’ll need. The one time I didn’t trap I got what I needed as a lucky drop breaking it’s head a second time which I then killed it pretty shortly afterwards. (Zinogre.) So at least don’t capture right away and wait a bit to shatter every part of it.
Speaking of carting - food bonuses don't drop now, so that's been a VERY welcome mechanic.
Back on the psp, trapping used to be harder than killing it.
This. I remember when I started Freedom Unite, veteran players used to tell me "killing is good but capturing is better".
I always check the specific part I need before the hunt just in case, but I’ve definitely noticed waaay more people capturing so far. Thanks for this PSA it’s definitely helpful for newcomers to the series or people that started with World.
I blame world for spoiling new hunters.
Definitely people from World.
Considering Rise tells you about every part drop, rate and how to get it in the hunter notes, it's more people who dont read. If we're talking spoiled then how does dealing hundreds of damage to a monster before ever using your weapon against it sound, at the low cost of a few wirebugs?
@@CanasTheKiller Are you referring to the new riding mechanic? I mean compared to X and XX I prefer it honestly. Its slightly harder to do than spamming aerial style with the dual blades and locking the monster down infinitly with riding.
Wirebug mount fighting is so wildly strong and exploitable that I feel like they forgot to playtest it or forgot the monsters don't have a ton of health. I'm also not against having a couple of bugs absolutely dominate every monster on the map while I absentmindedly press B and A, it's entertaining as hell, but Rise spoils the hell out of the hunter.
Instead of trying to communicate, I just scream at the screen when the monster is inevitably captured.
Or play solo?
@@sikisaya takes so much more time though cause high rank is hub only now
Farming Nargacuga was a nightmare, swear no one barely captured until I wanted to farm him for Marrow.
I know your pain
Marrow? You can farm that easily in the solo village Low Rank quest. The Medulla is the hard one to get when everyone captures Narga in the High Rank hub...
@@garylee9240 thank you for the tip
Then there's me who didn't even realize there was a capture system cause this is my first monster hunter game and have been committing mass genocide
committing mass genocide is fun dw, ive been playing MH since 07 and still just do mass genocide except rathalos for those damn gems (50hunts 40caps 10kills) exactly Zero Rath gems
If you have played MHW, you would probably have came across a fair amount of failed missions because everyone was too excited going berserk hacking away at the monster and forgotten to pay attention to the monster's health when the mission objective was to capture not to slay lol
I can already see it. “Gaijin Hunter said to not capture things.”
Edit:
Found a forum thread talking about it : gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/300976-monster-hunter-rise/79391492?page=1
No hate Gaijin
He said: there are stuff you can't get from capturing.. but there's also stuff you can't get from killing. :)
@@TheXtremeSS right but you think people are gonna catch that whole thing? Most are gonna hear don't capture and walk away before the rest of the sentence is done
@@TheXtremeSS to clarify. Yes he did. He gave a full and detailed explanation of what to do and why. (I mean he didn’t list every part and it’s cap vs slay percentages, but yikes no one has that kind of time)
He gave a perfect explanation, and what people should do is check the hunter notes and cap or slay based on what they are looking for. Sadly, people are blockheads prone to weird dogmatic adherence to one sentence rules, and the OP is right; if you spend large amounts of time playing online with randoms you will see” gaijin hunter said not to cap” at least a few times
...aaand that’s how you know which players to boot 😉
Contrary to what Gaijin said, you can get 2-3 parts from capturing. It's not always 2. I just did an Almudron and Mizutsune quest, captured both, and got 3 for Almudron and 2 for Mizu.
If I as an host, random's, not using the old school lobby system where people could calmly talk and decide how to approach the quest.. do you expect people to do as I say? It's more likely for people to not even see the messages.
It's just easier to do alone or with a group of friends.
At least we don't fail capture quests as easily like before. xD
Edit: BTW, contrary to what he also said in the end, for HR Magnamalo you can get plates from captures. In one quest I got one from target rewards and from the captures. Thank goodness because I needed one for the weapon and the other for the attack gem
I realized that carving had higher rates for certain materials. But I had no idea how to communicate "slay the monster" to the japanese players. Thanks for the PSA!
The japanese players probably already have what you want and are probably just farming for other mats instead.
@@joshuaneoangelobersales1807 trying to get those legendary amulets lol
It’s probably a bit difficult to change your console language and stuff so you can put in a custom callout in actual Japanese script, but maybe if you at least put it in romaji, it’ll get the message across. Something like: Monster o korosu
I use custom language and translator when playing MH. It helped me chat with Spanish, french, german, and Japanese Players.
I have an idea what if capcom gave us a feature for every quest that would let the host choose between the quest being a hunt vs a capture quest that would make things way easier (excluding elders and small monster hunts of course) (I really would love to hear your thoughts on this @Gajin Hunter)
it may happen soon since it becomes a thing.
My bloodlust is insatiable, so I always kill every monster unless I don't have the time to do so, or its Pukie-Pukei.
I love that bird boi. It's just so cute!
Well, if you think about it, killing the monster is mercy compared to what the guild might do to it if you capture it
Coming from World were capturing gave the same rewards as killing, this is has been of great help.
Don't know why they changed it
Cause world was the only one not to do it this way.
I actually didn’t start capturing monsters until I reached the five advanced quests you get after defeating Valstrax.
Me with my 99% capture rate: noooOoOoOoOo
Capcom should really auto translate “do NOT capture” xD
dude full of bs,, as i got these in captures, trick is to break the monster parts prior. there is gonna be rng regardless.. but i never had issues farming monsters monster parts.
@@azadalamiq You missed the point of the video: some parts CAN'T come from capture rewards. You can still get the break rewards regardless of if you capture or kill, so no point in listing those. But if you need a specific part, and it can't drop from a capture, why would you capture the monster?
@@azadalamiq The rewards screen will always tell you how you earned a material and capture is among the reward tables. From that, you will know when you got a material from a part break and that has nothing to do with the decision to capture or kill.
Fact is, some materials simply cannot be earned from the act of capturing a monster but can be carved. So even though breaks can make your odds of getting a specific material greater than zero, you may still have a BETTER chance if you kill and carve it.
@@azadalamiq You're missing the point completely.
@@azadalamiq I'm not saying it's impossible to get certain parts if you capture, I'm saying the rewards you get FROM THE CAPTURE can't be some parts (and likewise, some parts can't be carved). Next time you go on a hunt, pay close attention to all the drops in the after-hunt loot screen: it tells you where they all came from. The first two lines will be the quest rewards, usually a line full of monster parts, and then the second line full of generic "stuff" like ore/bones/armor spheres, etc. The next section will either be the break or capture section, I don't remember the order on these. It'll list each break that gave you a part (broke monsters horn, got this item, broke claw, got this item, etc). The next section will be the other one, like for the capture: this section is the ONLY part that would be changed from doing a capture vs killing, everything else will be exactly the same, aside from the RNG of course. After that will be the stuff your buddies gathered/looted.
If you killed the monster, the capture section simply won't be there, since you already got your rewards from carving the monster.
Thank you for this, I’ve seen people online farming for mizu claws and capturing every time, who knows how much time they’ve wasted just by making that one mistake
I guess some people can’t read a book about monster INSIDE the game lol.
The facts are infact in the game. XD
@@midnightowlartyt I even tried to tell them and they just ignored me lmao
I’m pretty sure if your break the part and capture it you will get it
@@altreemusic used to be the case, but not this time, as gaijin explained.
@@aleronhawk It still is the case.
You can't get that particular drop in the capture reward section of the quest end screen, is what it means, but you will still be able to get the part if it is in a part break drop table, and you, well, break that part, since they are different sections of rewards.
This is one of the things nobody in the community told me way back when I first started
Glad to see you doing it for the newer players so they won’t go through what me and others have 👍🏾🥳
When i was a kid playing mhfu..my friend said monster can be captured...i myself not an english speakers and as a kid i only recognise the usage of word capture in game like pokemon...so i thought you actually catch the monsters and bring them to fight... Trang bomb being red (pokeball is red) had convinced me even more.
@@starryskyhighway9628 that was actually a feature in an older mh game, pvp with a monster
Wow thank you for this!! I went into Rise with the MHW mentality. Capture capture capture! I will definitely keep this in mind from now on.
Yeah that was me until I saw people bringing this up on reddit. I started with MH World where it's 100% preferred to capture, and thought it'd be the same in MH Rise because the capture tutorial tells you there are some rewards you can only get by capturing.
My wife feels bad when we kill the monsters so we've been capturing pretty much all of them.
Yeah but if you dive into the lurer, Of the game caption them is actually more cruel. When you capture him, The Guild takes them and, Keeps them locked up and Experiment on them to learn about them. And Then eventually kills them to dissect them. So if you think about it killing then is Actually more humane.
@@chrislewerercalcapone9385 That’s not true at all. The Wyverian in World tells you the captured monsters are studied and then released away from the main base.
@@juliusweiss5447 oh, the same wyverians who have information on how a monster has a sac that allows it to produce flame/water/poison/Lightning or simply fly?
Yeah I wonder how they got that info without dissecting.
@@RaFaPilgrim From the monsters that were killed and not captured... I mean... seems pretty logical.
@@axelbouvet5316 ...except when you realize that they’d only have a few days, if not hours, to send a full team to a dangerous wild area in order to harvest the organs and body parts before the corpse completely decays or gets eaten by other wild monsters.

Everyone is capturing, because everyone is hunting for those Magnamalo orbs.

Don't ask. Just do it. Public lobby, public rules and you are more likely to have some scrub tri cart. You're really better off solo hunting, but if I want to capture something, I dare anyone to be good enough to stop me.
I will admit, I have been that guy that just captures the monster, not realizing rewards are lessened. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and I will ensure that I will wait for the host's call on capturing or killing monsters.
*cries in no nargacuga medullas because bitches be trappin even when i ask them not to* we need a translated message that says not to capture
Some parts have a higher Chance to get when you capture the monster like the orbs, I guess thats a reason to capture the monster too
Yes I agree. But the misinformation gaijin spread is that those example he gave in the video have higher chance for being break parts rewards (80%) and it isn't affected with killing/capturing. If he gave narga medulla/marrow for an example on the other hand, it would be a different story
@@Chronostra Kind reminder that there are chances listed for carves, which are very much affected by killing or capturing as you cannot carve captured monsters.
0:45 I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this lmao
Same Here
oh, this is clever. it prevents the quest complete animation?
@@voyagerwitch yes. or you can climb
same
@@Azeltirish i did this once by getting in a small-tunnel-crawl animation in flooded forest, but this is way more applicable. thanks for the tip.
What i've found is that the items that seem to be the most rare tend to come in the form of capture rewards. This being gems, plates, bile, etc.
Some but not all, There are some rare parts you can't get by capturing!
Yes indeed, but some parts are still required for a lot of sets/weapons and they are less likely to come as a reward when you capture, this is the main issue
LThe key thing is communication. If you not playing by your self, be Courteous to others! Not everyone wants to capture all the time! Seeing that there is a way to communicate to capture (A translated preset message) And not a way to communicate to kill it! The default should be to kill it, Unless before the hunt you communicate to capture it
My solution to prevent online misunderstandings is to solo the entire game
I think the main issue is lacking communication, and a universally translated message for either "lets kill" or "lets cap" would help in this regard.
If I had to guess, people cap to end quests quicker usually. I started in Tri and I remember having much better results capturing as opposed to killing when trying to get the gem/rarest item etc.( I believe these rare items were not able to be carved in most cases). Also, back then traps and tranqs were not as easily come by they are now so it was a serious expenditure that equated directly to resource building and therefore time (I am *not* asking for this back).
I also remember the change allowing for one to carve those same items off the monster. Ever since this change I have advocated for "eh kill it". Each carve has the same static 1-3% chance. To my knowledge there weren't items that only capturing would produce if parts are broken, correct me if I am wrong. I rarely suggest capping except for those times where capping reduced the pool of other items along with increasing the chance of the rare item.
In short: my advice at current is "eh break the part and kill, cause you carve rare item and break rewards work well enough" That said if we join a quest we should try to communicate before deciding how the quest ends for all players since it can have impact.
Me with my friends always 90% go for capture because we all want to rush to HR 7 and never think about the missing loot. I'm glad you talk about this. Will gonna recheck hunter's notes before deciding to capture or not
I always thought that capturing monsters was just superior, unless there was something you need to get for killing them... I mean, you’re spending resources to build traps and tranquilizers, being observant during the hunt of when it’s ready to be captured, tracking them down or luring them into your traps, all while exercising restraint so you don’t accidentally slay it.
It sounds so strange to hear someone say that trapping monsters is the easy way out, and so should give you fewer rewards.
It's so much easier to capture on Rise. The game really caters to making trapping easier. As a longtime MH player, its definitely weird for sure.
Well yeah it is the easy wait out, noobs catch vets kill, don’t want to sound rude but capturing is laughably easy, signs of death have never been easier to see in monster hunter, it shows a blue icon on the monsters art in the right hand corner and it’s not hard to guide into traps either
@@robertgray3710 It is not the easy way out when you can only put one trap at a time regardless if your one player or Four. Or when you had to gather the materials for pit or shock traps.
Rise now make it easy to infinitely purchase these traps so it makes sense to lower the rewards for capture.
Vet Players should notice the change when this happens, Noobs does not.
@@robertgray3710 noobs catch vets kill
can you justify this?
just asking.
seems like you're playing mostly coop.
I blame the capture tutorial, because they don't mention anything about drops being different and they actually encourage you to capture the monsters since it will be faster than slaying them
I mostly capture when I am running multiplayer and two people have already carted. Better to just end it and get some rewards than risk another death and no rewards.
when i played the capture tutorial i slayed the mnonster anyway and he was like ugh... mission complete
If you don't look at the new menu with every drop rates IN GAME, well i blame you sir
@@andreagtfj1090 oh I'm just saying for new people, I've been playing since MH3 :v

*Hunter notes updated* WHAT’RE THOSE!?
The Pokke Village OST just gave me mad flashbacks to the good old days ;-;
When you have to repel that one elder dragon 21 times before you get 2 of his gems for the waist armor and the weapon.
Forget the gems, sometimes you can't even get the right part breaks. It was especially bad in MH3U....
I went straight to the other spoilers dragon since you can just hunt it outright, and I have to say, the skill that both armors come with is not worth the effort. They're garbage sets tbh. But at least it's cool looking garbage.
@@RoboRobotnik the arms of the 2nd spoiler dragon actually have some Partbreaker. Pair it with the jelly waist, and the rest of the pieces being medium and you actually have a decent set for farming spoiler dragon 2 for the materials to use in Melding.
@@skiafraylalnasache There are way easier ways of getting partbreaker lol
What I've found helpful is put Do Not Capture in caps with the large X sticker. Image with the word capture helps language barrier a bit more than just saying it in chat.
Even if you capture every monster, you can still get those parts from the dropped shinnies and by breaking parts I think?
It really depends, you just need to check the notes.
Mizu fins for example only drop as a part break. If you don't break it, capture or kill, you won't see it (except as a possible 1st clear reward, which obviously only happens once).
There's just more variables than there were in World.
Fun fact! There's a cat informant in your house (at the back of the painting) that tells you story within Kamura 😁. It's fun to know their stories
Jokes on you, I don’t even know how to capture a monster because I failed the tutorial 🙃
Put trap and trank bombs in your invictory , go on hunt .. when you see the monster is limping to get away or on the map there's a blue thing on it, you go you your items an place a trap down and when it's in the trap throw 2 trank bombs
Very good to know. For some reason I thought we got more rewards for capturing.
The in-game capture tutorial even tells you that you can get more items and rarer items from capturing.
Thanks for clearing this up.
Actually, capture everything, unlock their arena, then kill everything in a skillworthy place
wrong game buddy xD
Yes, that was in World Iceborne (a game I'm definitely going back to once I'm done with Rise).
you do know that if you brake a monsters part fully that even on a capture that you can still get that monsters part from that monsters section right? because i have more Magnamalo blades then i know what to do with and my hunting log sits at 20(19) and my blades are at 55(at the time of righting this).
Of course he knows that. However you still are able to get more from carving. It's literally a 16% chance from carves vs a 0% from capture.
@@ShinnyMetal there is a section in at the end of the quest that gives rewards based on broken parts that can give you rewards for what you have full busted that is not affected buy capture/carve "lock" as long as the part is fully busted you can get a part form its loot list (like Magna blades from its front claws for example)
@@Flameblade10 I understand that BUT if you are trying to specifically get magnamalo blades you best way if breaks and carves.
@@ShinnyMetal IF this is something you need to do then do it then sure, but the way he was saying it was that if you capture it you CAN'T get a blade not that its not the best way to get one which is what i was pointing out was wrong (that you can get one on a cap if the proper criteria is met) where he was saying that you cant get one no matter what you do.(witch is what is wrong)
@@Flameblade10 My guy, he didn't say you can't get blades at all when you capture, he's saying you can't get blades from capturing. Fullstop.
Bro thank you so much for this. No one kills anymore out of laziness and it’s driving me insane.
I'm an on/off MH player, and World conditioned me to just capture everything. Now i know to do my research a bit better. Thanks for the info.
It's probably a ton of work but would love it if someone made a capture/carve guide listing what monsters to capture and which to kill, or maybe even what materials you get for either. I should probably just take more time to read the Hunter notes tho.
Great video as always.
General rule since the older games host's decision when playing with strangers unless something else has been decided on
It’s in the hunters notes.
Also when it comes to capturing it is not just 2 rewards, it’s varies between 2-3.
The part about only getting two rewards for capturing is just wrong. I regularly get three capture rewards, tested it again just now with a low rank kulu and got three.
I was today years old when I learned you can break parts after a monster is slain
Wait, really??
I don't know if you covered it in your video but every item mentioned can still be received as a broken part reward. So you can actually capture everything and still receive these items. Whether efficient or not depends on the person. But I have personally tested it and can assure all of you reading this comment they can be obtained as long as the correct part is broken.
Thank you for mentioning this, I love gaijin but through not addressing this in the video he makes capturing look much worse than it is. If you want a specific part you have the best odds from breaking that part, and carving rewards give you a tiny extra chance of getting them, while capturing doesnt. Theres no part you "can't" get just because you captured, though!
I tend to mix it up, but the only time I know i would capture something regardless, is if I'm down to my last life.
Mhw has conditioned me to capture everything.
Thank you. I really hope word gets around about this. I usually only hunt with randos when I'm bored and just want to help out, but I still find it ridiculously boring that every hunt just defaults to a capture. I've definitely been robbed of drops in previous games due to people insisting on "capturing is better" too. It's completely understandable if the hunt is getting ugly, or if someone needs that certain rare drop, but I get the feeling most just do it because it's faster and easier. It's like a forced speedrun strat or something. People just need to be better about the context of the hunt.
Oh wow i always thought you got more because i learned it in mh3 and never thought about it again. I was trying to be polite!
Used to be the case even in gen / gen u. To be fair, sometimes trying to slay the monster instead makes it more of a hassle since now they’re a lot more vicious when near death.
I see it like this, if there is only a 1% chance to get from carves and you get a higher chance by breaking them, I rather break the part and then capture. Also, if you are farming. Don’t do it with 3 or 4 people, resistances goes through the roof. That’s one problem I had in Iceborne.
@@Noltar Yeah except world is the only game where that works in literally every other MH game the drop tables for cap and slay are different.
@@aleronhawk i like the challenge lol
Big thanks. I'm so used to capturing rewarding more stuff. ESPECIALLY if they have a Plate or Ruby.
This explains why I have so few Rathian spikes.
After mentioning it. I kinda miss the fight the monster in the arena quests after a capture. They were so fun.
