yes, I saw everyone rise their MR so fast. I was just reached MR111 last night but most of them above MR150. Some of them their name turned to yellow after reached to MR200 (i'm still with purple name).

I have no time to play in the morning time because I need to go for work. My only free time is night time after came back from work or public holiday and Sunday. Every night I play until 2am. Then wake up at 6.20am in the morning then go to work. Usually I can't get enough sleep, so I just take a nap in the office when boss was went out.

If you say you want to hunt the monsters in master rank with your previous high rank weapons and armors. Sure it will quite difficult because your attack and defense are still too low. Therefore, you need to repeatedly farm the specific monster several times to collect enough materials. To make yourself a master rank weapon and armor as fast as possible in order to advance to next mission. After you equipped with full set of master rank weapon and armor, you will feel yourself is much more stronger and will feel much more comfortable to hunt the monsters in master rank.

You can reach to more than 900+ defense in master rank, if you play with hunting horn. Your defense can reach up to 1100+ after buff and drink defense boost. Since hunting horn is a healer, you should get speed eating lv3. With a defense of 1100+ and speed eating lv3. You will find that the monsters usually are hardly to kill you.

Some armors in in master rank can even boost up your skill to higher level, for example "Free Meal" previously got only 1 level. Now in iceborne DLC, the master rank armor can boost your "Free Meal" to lv. 3. Therefore you can get 75% chance to consume a free potion. Another skill such like "Slugger", previously is lv3 but now with master rank can boost up to lv 5. So if you are holding hammer, you can stun the monster much easier with slugger lv5.

Not that hard actually, I was passed the last boss at second try by SOS. Mostly I went into SOS to help others but most of the time mission failed is caused by the leader (i know). Also the main reason that why failed in the missions are caused by the average attack power of the whole team are not strong enough.

Another main reason why will fail the mission is caused by some player did not bring enough potions. You need to bring farcaster to the combat, otherwise nobody can heal you. Unless you are lucky enough to meet a healer who are join into the SOS missions.

One of the best solution to avoid that Shara Ishvalda ultimate skill is use "farcaster" immediately during it begin to cast it's ultimate skill. Otherwise, you need to run to its behind as fast as possible during it is casting it's ultimate skill. Just try to avoid run to the edge side because I was fainted once before. So my only best way is run forward to Shara Ishvalda and hide into it's behind.

So if you not sure what to do to avoid it's ultimate skill, just use farcaster then immediately bring you back to camp to backup potions, ammos and anything. Also remember to bring farcaster again before you go back to fight.

Always remember that, farcaster is your life saver.

I want to ask, kill the monsters directly or capture the monsters is better in the guiding lands? Actually for me the answer is both are the same. When you kill it, you just can dig materials from the monsters like 3~4 times with one new monsters(call-out). If you capture it, you will get one new monsters(call-out) and the extra 3~4 extra materials will go into your report.

Last time, I got argue with a noob leader. I am going to capture a rajang, but the leader keep attack me to avoid me to capture it. I was wasted one of my trap. So I use farcaster to go back to camp to refill a new trap into my inventory again. This time, I wear rocksteady mantle then go to capture. The leader try to avoid me but was failed this time. Finally was successfully captured. So later that, after we went back to camp, we argue each other. The leader just simply to scold me with some rude word, I have really no idea what's the different between kill and capture that makes him so unhappy. He just simply give a noob reason to say kill directly will get more reward. What?? Come on, our reward can be get from report too after we capture it. So in the end, I really give up to continue argue with this noob, since he is leader. He want to kill or capture it's up to him. So I quit from his SOS and go to join another group.

Since that time of my bad experience. Every time when I join another player's SOS in guiding land, I never capture the monsters again unless the leader want to do it. So leader want to kill it, then we kill it. Leader want to capture it then we capture it. As long as leader is happy. There still got many strange players outside there, when we meet someone unhappy then I just quit lah. I'm now MR672 and HR999, not too high rank also but at least got higher rank than many players outside there. I also can solo the tempered silver rathalos, tempered gold rathian, tempered rajang, tempered ruiner nergigante too because i got several sets of HBG that can kill them easily by solo. I also can host myself in guiding land to become leader and ask online players come in to hunt monsters together. My home line is unifi 500mbps, fast and never disconnecting.

Actually kill or capture is no different. Besides that, I just want to go in to do my MR leveling only. I do not mind about what kind of materials I get because I got too many completed set of weapons. I can switch to LBG, HBG, switch axe, insect glaive, hammer. Just only HBG, I already got several types of build. My purpose to play in guiding land just need for leveling only.

Here is the best build for HBG to kill tempered silver rathalos, tempered gold rathian, scarred yian garuga easily.

Got my PS5 at 29th Jan 2021 but so far only bought one PS5 game Spider-man Miles Morale but already complete the game main story. So far have not much PS5 games which worth to play in that console. Mostly have to install back all my previous PS4 games back to the PS5 console.

I was played MHW but feels like this game been long time didn't update for new monster and new equipments. I went into SOS but feels like the server is so empty. This game became more silent and feel nothing to play now. I was stopped to play it now and left my PS5 aside since there have not much PS5 games available in current stage.
