Tier 2 are the best for the highest tier decos because Tier 3 reserves so much for augmentation stones.
The option is available once you find a scale on an expedition, but it's not live yet.
You don't really need to have your shit together from what I've seen. I mean you do if you want to farm it super quickly and efficiently, but for general runs, it's easy enough that you just need people kinda doing stuff. Even if people wipe, they can requeue and keep going until there's enough overall progress. Also from what I understand, a single efficient group is enough to carry everyone easily.
Sure why not. Any build with partbreaker is going to be decent, bombardier also is useful if you sleep her since you can get a lot of horn damage with bombs(especially if you double bomb her). Weakness exploit is of limited use on the fight as far as I understand, because only her head is a weakpoint for melee weapons(and her head is out of reach most of the fight other than knockdowns and such), and only frontclaws for ranged I think.
They're not actually relic weapons like 4 had. They're specific weapons for each type/rarity combination.
There's a few decent rarity 7 weapons too, and the rest can be used if you just want some options to check out other weapon playstyles you haven't before without using up materials.
A lot of great weapons are tier 7, actually, the best Kulve weapon in the game is a tier 7 HBG.
They're close to Nergi level, but if you're getting 1 hit by anything other than their "super" attack(like the dive bomb for Nergi) then you need a better armor, they're not supposed to be that hard.
Nergigante was imo the hardest of the elder dragons the first time, but once you're used to him he's one of the easier ones, low health and his attacks are pretty easy to avoid and the only dangerous ones are the black spikes divebomb(easy to tell when it'll happen and when it does, on most weapons you can just sheath and superman dive to avoid all damage) and the one where he drops you onto the ground then does a smash which is avoided by simply not touching anything so you get up later(you're invincible when laying on the ground).
Ahh yes, I think I already found the gold and was treated to a cutscene with a lot of grunting. Guess I'll wait till it becomes available. Thanks.
Yeah it's in a few hours, for the US it's basically Nov1st instead of Nov2nd as a result, the Nov2nd time is Japan based at least assuming the event page is correct.
LBG is better than HBG anyway. Most people will just run whatever, doesn't matter that much. If people want to be super efficient they can setup parties on Discord or whatever and just farm like that. You can farm with just one party if you do it efficiently, people who queue full group it's kinda expected it won't be the most efficient fights, especially early on when a lot of people don't even know what to do.
Yeah that's never really been what public rooms in Monster Hunter have been about IMO. I might have talked to someone and given some friendly advice in the older games if I noticed they were wearing mismatched armor with no skills activated, but I wouldn't have kicked them and certainly wouldn't have given anyone shit over it or their weapon choice or whatever. Maybe if someone stumbled into a hame room or something, but that's a totally different animal and in my experience those runs were usually private anyway.
